I see their trucks all over town where I live.  Looks like they are working pretty hard to me.

I agree. Most of the young delivery persons I see (and most of them are young) are hustling, though some more than others. I actually suggested to one sweet young man that he slow down a bit because I could see he was stressed. He was one of the few doing what he was asked to do by delivering packages to doors. He even knocked on the doors to let folks know packages had arrived. Unfortunately, that experience has proved to be an exception. I get the sense that some of the others look upon apartments and condos as opportunities to make up for lost time by dumping everything in a central location, which, of course, they can't do with single family homes. Smiling, I did ask one of them once how they thought it would go over if they left packages destined for single family homes at the top of the street. He just grinned.

My Echo sends an alert as soon as an Amazon package is delivered.

I am the odd man out...I have only ordered 1-3 things from Amazon,  but when I did, the service was fast.

Hate? Not me! Out of a scale from 1-10, I give them a 9.

I prefer deliveries from their own fleet of vans. I haven't had any problems at all.

Excellet service for many, many years.

Hate?  Not me. Amazon drivers are doing a great job on my deliveries.  The people they hire are very pleasant to talk to also.  Will continue to order from Amazon. have had no problem with them.

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

I can only get the cat food (Sheba) if I order directly from Amazon.

No grocery stores in my area have Sheba.  I don't know why they can get it and no one else can.

However, my little boy (Bill the cat) was going to die months ago.  The vet said "His bloodwork shows he's very very sick.  You might have a few weeks left with him.

That was about 8 or more months ago!  The only thing I do is pay a friend to come over 6 days a week to hydrate him.  I also stopped giving him the wet and dry food that I could only get when the Vet wrote a prescription.

Instead, at first I gave him boiled real chicken.  Then I remembered how much he LOVED Sheba.  

He eats all the time now.  He's back to drinking more water and seems to be doing way better.

Every day with him is a gift. 

So you can see why I like Amazon.  They are the only place where I can get the thing that gives me the gift of my Bill.

Your problem is you  live off the beaten path.  I loved Amazon when they used independent drivers even though there was an occasional hiccup.  I really love it now that they use their own vans.  The only thing that doesn't thrill me is that they put my packages on the porch and text that they delivered a package, they attach a photo of the package.  I haven't lost anything yet but sometimes I don't see the text for an hour or two. I love Amazon!
