And then the toys that he delivered are wrong, damaged, never came, missing pieces, or two weeks late. Insulin left in mail box in 95F weather without even ringing the door bell when it was supposed to require a signature? Cans of food dented almost in half? After checking 3 times that we were ordering the RV version of a CO meter and not the marine version the latter showed up – charged shipping to us and back to them when it was their error – and we live east coast USA, vendor was west coast Canada? That is only some of our experiences with deliveries. We do not order anything unless we ABSOLUTELY NEED it and there is ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER WAY TO GET IT.
Christmas 2020 husband ordered gifts for his nieces (now 12 and 19) as we would not see them and they are the only niblings we still buy gifts for. He ordered them from Amazon early in the first week of December and they were being shipped to his sister (nieces’ mom) so they would get gifts from us.
Since we don’t order things we do not have an Amazon account so no next day delivery. The gifts were more than the minimum for free 2 week shipping though. But – since the items were being shipped from 2 different locations we had to pay shipping which raised the price of the gifts by a third. The older girl’s gift was there was there in less than 2 weeks. The younger girl’s gift did not arrive until January! And she was rather upset and thought we forgot about her.
In addition we live on a 4 lane main road with a bus stop across the street, and only recently have the various delivery companies started at least leaving items on our front steps instead of at the bottom of our short driveway – but still no bell rung or other notice to let us know the package is there.
