I love Amazon. Deliveries are on time and look forward to tracking the trucks once the package is out for delivery. 4 more stops, 3 more stops, I love that and then love to see the picture once it's at my door.

@Sage04 I've never had that kind of detail provided when I track an order. Is there a specific area on the website for this? I always just use the "track order" button

@Ladybug724  only some of the drivers would post their GPS activities. For me here in Atlanta I've been able to see it often. It's fun to see different cities also. Just Friday I was able to see Manhattan and as usual it took forever to get across town with the package I sent to someone there. If it's available it will be with    the Tracking information

I ordered a plant light a few days ago, it was scheduled to be delivered on 11/3. Got a notification that it was coming early for 10/27. I just checked its status and the package is out for delivery, 7 stops away. How about that O P?

@JaneMarple  I see you are getting to see the GPS tracking. I love that. Not all drivers share that info. It fascinates me.

So glad sweet Bill is doing so much better and you can find the food he 'needs'!

Have not had any problems with delivery from Amazon except once from a year ago, and it was the faulty of the weird seller and not Amazon delivery. I do see the Amazon vans weaving through our neighborhood every day....and some go past our house several times within five minutes...still looking for the right house.

Does Bill only eat a certain flavor of Sheba?  

I ask because my Walmart carries Sheba cat food, although right now you never know which varieties they'll have.  Also, Chewy (dot) com carries several flavors of it too.  They normally deliver in a day or two.  Just in case you ever need another source.

Glad to hear that Bill is doing so well and you still have him with you.❤️

The drivers who deliver to my home and neighborhood are excellent.  We have had deliveries early in the morning and later in the evening.  I am very pleased.

I prefer their drivers. They do a great job for me. I like getting a picture showing they put it on the right porch. Every once in a great while, I can see that they put it on my neighbor's porch accidentally and I just go over and get it. At least I can see which porch it is. With other services, if I dont see my package after it was delivered I have no visual clues about where it might be.

I also love that I can leave them positive feedback. I think that if you do that, you get better service because the driver knows they can get a good stat on their record whenever they deliver to your house.

Getting a package later in the evening doesn't phase me at all, though they almost always seem to arrive in the late morning or afternoon. Not sure what the objection would be to that.

@Porcelain  according to where they leave the package, I don't recognize the area. If it's on the mat, yes I recognize it from the picture.

Yesterday it was left by a flowerpot on the porch. Didn't recognize it from the picture so for sure I thought they had made a mistake. Whose flowerpot is that? Of course it was our flowerpot. Now I know. Our deliveries are always left on the mat.

I dont shop Amazon for a variety of reasons---but what I have to share is something I found very interesting.... I DO order from Ebay and Etsy....and one time I got an email informing me that my order would be delivered by Amazon that day---I had no AMAZON order so I called both Amazon and emailed the Ebay vendor---come to find out some Ebay vendors use Amazon for delivery!!!!  I will say the delivery was super fast and even arrived ahead of schedule! WHO KNEW 🤷‍♀️ We do have a nearby Amazon Facility and they are building another in the city limits...

It also looks like Amazon has borrowed a practice from USPS you can instruct them to leave packages at your front door, BUT USPS can also decide whether to honor the front door delivery or NOT---

I live in a condo community and our secure package mail center closed since covid began and if USPS doesnt want to deliver to my front door, they dont have to---So USPS started using these old lockers located near our outside central community  mailboxes but our COA instructed USPS not use them since they were so easily broken into to, but they started using them anyway! ....I filed a complaint and apparently the delivery companies were notified not to use the lockers, so now they either CRAM a package into my regular mailbox, OR deliver it to my front door...Now I know when the Holiday shopping season starts there wont be any front door deliveries, since they will be overwhelmed (they'll make people come to the Post Office to pick up their packages) ..so I dont order things online and try to shop in person in local stores during the Holidays...
