Hilarious order confirmation reason from amazon

GingerPeach — Fri, 09 Aug 2019 16:21:27 GMT

The ~~order~~ delivery confirmation page for some items I received today from amazon states, "Your package was left in the mail room." Well, no, the several packages were left by my front door.

Finding a "mail room" at my house would be pretty hard to do since I live in a home, and have no business office at my address.

I wonder just how hard it is for delivery folks to punch in the correct reason from the choices they have. Oh, well, the stuff got here safe and sound. I am not complaining, just sharing something odd/silly/unusual.

If anyone wants to share an odd delivery confirmation reason you may have been given, feel free.

I live in northern California, and one time when I ordered something, (I forget what), I got a notice that my item had been mis-shipped, and was sent to Seattle!

I was in no hurry to get it, but I had to laugh at my package taking a detour to Seatttle!

Once when I was puttering in the front yard, UPS drove up. The driver got out looking a bit sheepish, and said, ‘I don’t have anything for you today, I was out this way, and I come here so often I turned in out of habit.’

Truth.

My Dad lives in a retirement community in an independent living apartment on the east coast. I live on the west coast but go back to visit him frequently. When I was there in the spring two different times a package from Amazon was left on a bench inside the door of his building. One was for a woman who lived in that building on the 1st floor so I brought it to her apartment & left it near her door. The other package was for someone who lived in a different building on the campus. I called the front desk to let them know about the package & they sent someone to pick it up & deliver it to the resident.

In anticipation of my next visit for a family reunion I ordered a wireless speaker from Amazon & had it sent to my Dad's. (I put a playlist together on Spotify so we could have some music). When I checked the tracking it said the package was "handed directly to a resident", but it wasn't my Dad! It was nowhere & the front desk didn't have it. So I had a replacement sent to me, they shipped it really fast & I got it in time to be able to bring it with me back to my Dad's for our reunion. Then wouldn't you know, the 1st speaker showed up at my Dad's so we had two!

I ended up paying for the replacement one because I really like it & wanted to keep it.

Hi, @Anonymous032819 ! I have a similar experience. When I lived in Waikoloa, Hawaii (Big Island), one of my orders came to me via Guam! LOL! I doubt this was normal UPS or USPS routing,

It sounds to me like this was a delivery confirmation, not an order confirmation. I don't think AMZ knows at the time the order is placed what the final delivery location will be.

Like you, I also have seen that stated delivery location is not always accurate.

@GingerPeach I've gotten that delivery confirmation too, as well as

"handed directly to the resident"

neither has ever happened. LOL

I had one message to tell me about a delayed delivery and it was something like this:

"Broke truck"

LOL!

I think I mentioned this before, but I still cringe when I think about the FedEx driver who left this large white sign on my front door:

Your package is behind the bushes.

Well ...

Well, of course, it's the delivery confirmation.

I don't see the funny part; I just think there are multiple boxes to check and the delivery person on her 42nd delivery of the day checked the wrong one. But it was delivered, so good job.

My Amazon "delivery" was far from odd, or funny. To make it short(yes me doing short), here it is. Package delivered on a Sunday, can't even remember what it was. Delivery man either could not read, or chose to ignore my BIG SIGN, "PLEASE COME TO BACK PATIO ROOM". Sign has been there since 2001, when our patio room was built.We exchanged unpleasantries, all on my property now.

Now to shorten it. I ended up in a court room/in front of a judge. On trial for "disturbing the peace". I was represented by a Public Defender, and I was found "guilty" of a misdemeanor, on my 80 year unblemished criminal record. Fined $100+court costs+witness fees. Total cost: A blemished criminal record and minus $205.70.

Yes, Amazon in every department I could reach, heard my story. Results? They terminated this delivery man. Yep, this is a 100% true story.

I got this in an email from the USPS:

Your package was expertly and efficiently delivered to you in person by a member of our professionally trained staff.....

THE REALITY--A blouse I ordered was CRAMMED, and SQUISHED into my mailbox....🙄

A few years ago, I placed an order from Walmart. I ordered a 10 Ib bag of flour, a 10 Ib bag of sugar, a 96 oz box of pancake mix, among other items. UPS was scheduled to deliver the order. En route to me, the box was damaged, spilling the flour and sugar, therefore, undeliverable. So, I called Walmart, told them the story, they immediately shipped a replacement order. The following week, UPS was scheduled to delivery and...guess what? The same thing happened to that package!!! What??? A third order placed with Walmart. Yes, the third time was the charm. I finally received my order!!!
