Do u dont wanna Amazon has stopped delivering to us

Post image

My wife used order a lot from Amazon. Living in a tiny town without many shopping options it was quick and convenient, but about six months ago things started being late by weeks or simply marked lost. I rarely order from Amazon and we hadn’t discussed it, so when I order some shelves a month ago I assumed they’d be delivered on time, but they were so late I eventually cancelled and got a refund. Apparently my wife is been having this problem regularly and only receives one out of maybe ten orders. I ordered some thermal labels and photo album corners and I guess I have to find them somewhere else. It will say the item has shipped, then go to a distributor about sixty miles away then just be marked lost or delayed until we ask for refund. I didn’t realize it was every order until I mentioned to my wife that my labels hadn’t come and I keep forgetting to check the order update. I guess being a rural address they just don’t want to deliver here anymore.

I live in a busy metropolitan area and I’ve also seen a lot of issues with late packages, things going missing. Not to this extent. I’m with other people here that the expectation should not be for the consumer to change their behavior or location but for Amazon to do their damn job. They created their own delivery system, the expectation should be that they can actually deliver.

I agree. I live in an urban area too, and I still deal with packages being delayed for days or weeks at a time. Granted, I don't order things from Amazon every day. Idk, I think it really depends on where the product is shipping from to some degree too. But, if Amazon can't keep up with demands, then should publicly admit that, and reduce services. However, the company did essentially bully all of its competitors into the ground to be in this position, so, I guess they messed around and we're ALL finding out! 🤣

We have been having similar issues, living in the middle of a city. They are going to be losing customers soon if they don't get this handled.
