Amazon’s pretty cool

Meowingkitty — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 02:49:10 GMT

I have been waiting for a delivery today and have been tracking my package since 1:00 when it said I had 7 deliveries ahead of me. Well I guess the driver went home for lunch for about 90 minutes before the driver started delivering again. It is now 2:30. The driver made what looks like one or two deliveries and went home (or stopped again) and the tracking map hasn’t moved my package since. It is now almost 6:00 and it is still sitting with the driver at his place of stoppage. I contacted Amazon and they contacted the driver about an hour ago (my package still hasn’t moved) and they credited my account for the entire amount for inconvenience. Don’t know if this person will ever show up tonight but thanks Amazon.

I think that is being a little impatient. Amazon always says on the tracking to be delivered before 8 pm. I can’t imagining tracking it that much of being so impatient.

@Meowingkitty I agree about Amazon. Great customer service!

It’s not being impatient, it’s the fact that the driver only had 7 deliveries before mine, he was only a mile away and now 6 hours later it still hasn’t moved. I think Amazon should know about lazy or bad delivery drivers.

@Meowingkitty, that is one of the reasons they are a trillion dollar company. I don’t shop Amazon on a regular basis but if I ever had a problem, they are prompt, courteous and generally respond far better than any other company I do business with. With a lot of other companies, it is like customer service is a thing of the past. LM

Can I ask how you knew the driver had just 7 stops before you?

Amazon is great about service. I never worry when I shop there.

I don't like to ask for, or even receive an offer for, a refund when I still have the product. Retailers don't give stuff away for free without making up the loss somewhere else...as in higher prices for everyone.

IMO, UPS says packages will be delivered by 8pm. I can't imagine tracking things with such details.

I just love it when the tracking shows an actual street map of the area, showing exactly where the driver is. Kind of fun to watch my delivery getting closer and closer! Sometimes, I'm at the door to greet the driver before he has scanned the package! Cool! Love Amazon!

Or the car may have had mechanical difficulties. These drivers use their own cars for the deliveries.

How did you know he had seven deliveries before you? I would like to know that information, too. I always track my packages, and UPS sends me the tracking info. I've never seen anything in such detail though.

Some areas have amazon drivers delivering rather than a delivery service. You can watch as your packages travel the route. Have actually seen my package sit right around the corner then get a message undeliverable?????.

When you go to “track my package” either in the email or Amazon website, if the driver is in your area it will say something like “the driver is 7 stops away” and it gives you a map of where he is located and you can follow him. The green dot is where the driver is and the red dot is you. Maybe not all areas have this but we do. I didn’t ask them for anything in return. I simply wanted to make them aware of a problem with one of their drivers. Then the guy hung around after he delivered my package (almost 9:00). I guess he maybe thought I would give him a tip or something. I turned off the light and locked the door.

@Meowingkitty I really think my area doesn't have this. I've tracked my packages closely for years and have never seen this. It would be great to be able to see it like that.

You must have some super tracking that I don't have access too. My tracking just says the delivery will be before 8pm but I haven't had to wait that long since last Christmas. I'm not impatient type, as long as I know that my package is coming today, I'm fine with that. I don't need a minute by minute breakdown. On the other hand, I am the same person who doesn't like it when they leave the package on my top step because I cannot always stay and wait for them.
