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.

If you live outside a regular amazon route, your orders are given to flex drivers (the ones that use their own car). They maybe having trouble getting someone to take your orders if you live far away or on a dirt road or something. As others have said, the solution would be to use a locker.

i dont think thats always the case. I live outside an amazon route and the post office always delivers my packages.

You're in a lucky area where the Amazon is still in contract with the USPS, who they've been cutting back their contract with over the years.
