How are the Amazon drivers in ur area?

They're usually too busy facetiming to pay attention to the road.

I almost got t-boned by one in my neighborhood at a four way stop a few months ago. He never even tapped his brakes. Some young guy staring at his phone.

There was one, who had his radio so loud, i could hear him on other side of house, on shitter with exhaust fan on, while grunting one out.

Since Amazon went with their own delivery drivers (or contractors I guess), I’ve had multiple packages disappear after saying they were out for delivery. I don’t think that ever happened with UPS or FedEx.

They're fine here in Nashville, and by fine I mean no worse than any other driver on the road. That's a low bar, however.

Sounds like the growing pains of a major company.

Or, would you rather have drones delivering your packages?

Pretty bad

One ran over my kid the other day.

I think they know what's in the package, it's been gift cards, all 3 were $200 Visa gift cards. My beef jerky got here, but day later the gift card just disappears, lol.

My guess is your package got delivered to the wrong address once. And with how the system is, new drivers are just delivering to the previous drop off point without even thinking to actually verify the address.

Delivery drivers aren’t technically Amazon employees. They work for a third party that exclusively delivers for Amazon. I believe the BR area has 3 or 4 such companies. They own the trucks, they pay the drivers, they are responsible for making sure they aren’t shite ... giving the demand they have to take what they can get.

That said, I can tell you with every confidence that delivery drivers do not know what’s in the package. They pick up their packages in the AM and are told what route they are to drive and what package goes where. A slow day in the BR area is around 17k packages - every single day - so some things are going to get lost in the system. Believe it or not a lot of it is still manually entered into the system each step of the way (I was amazed by this myself).

Typically a package is scanned in when it comes to the local sort facility, then it is placed into larger delivery bags which are then placed into the vans. Only when it is delivered by the driver is it scanned again, so if it was placed in the wrong bag/area at the sort facility then the system could report that your driver is on the way but when he gets to that item on his device and discovers it isn’t in his van, he has to mark it and move on to his next package.

I imagine the system will be improved when the permanent sort facility in BR is built ... and yes, everything is pointing to Cortana getting a fulfillment center (as long as JBE and SWB don’t frick it up).
