BTW for ye Amazon Prime folk...questiunne (CSB warning)


Aug 4, 2014, 3:49 PM

Did I miss the memo that Amazon is using USPS for Prime deliveries now?

Was supposed to get a package on Saturday (even though I ordered it on Wed morning), it never showed up so I login to Amazon to discover USPS allegedly made delivery but didn't leave a note or the package. USPS?? The pickup center in my area is only open 9am-5pm M-F when I work.

I will give credit to Amazon that they are sending me a new item through UPS, but they need to stop this nonsense for Prime deliveries, USPS is miserable.

/CSB

I'm pretty sure this change is happening because of

that would be from a third party vendor and not amazons warehouses. I have had this before too, where they said it was covered under the 2 day free prime shipping, but shipping info says USPS and 5-10 days after I ordered.

You just have to check to see if it is being sold directly by amazon, or someone else.

Interesting...I always though Prime was direct


Aug 4, 2014, 4:02 PM

I've orded a ton of stuff over the years and I believe this is the first time I have ever gotten it shipped from USPS.

I guess a better question is why the post office won't get with the times and just leave the package at the front door...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

mine does; I think it's according to your neighborhood


Aug 4, 2014, 4:08 PM

some places none of them will leave anything; some places they don't worry about it.


My rule of thumb experience is that ---- if you live in an area that you can get pizza delivery, the mail services will not leave your package unguarded. If you live in the boonies, they have no problem with porch delivery.

Thank you for the reminder that I have about a week left

USPS delivers many UPS packages to me from Amazon.


Aug 4, 2014, 4:09 PM

They've got an arrangement.

and other places, you are correct.

I see my UPS package tracker dump off at the post office for regular postal delivery about 90% of the time (Oconee County SC).

I'm still waiting on my last Prime package a full week after it was supposed to be delivered. I order a lot of stuff from Amazon though and this is the first issue I can remember having.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You also have to be more careful about which option you chec


Aug 4, 2014, 4:35 PM

they've just started a program where you can get a movie credit for a video not included with prime if you take standard shipping.

I think they just renegotiated their ups contract and ups wanted huge amounts of $ to contunue the service

Hmm, well this is a problem


Aug 4, 2014, 4:49 PM

Because I don't believe they tell you who is shipping it? Just the number of days it will arrive?

I might just have to quit Amazon at this rate, too bad.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep, with smaller packages it is getting pretty normal


Aug 4, 2014, 5:01 PM

for me to see tracking updates that UPS has handed my package over to USPS for delivery.
