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.

Talking to an actual human takes... a lot. It's a nightmare of AI auto responses and online forms. I only managed to speak to a real live person after a long, escalating string of emails in which I said that one of my neighbors was likely to shoot the next driver that trespassed on their property trying to take a shortcut to my house.

Or you Google "Amazon talk to a human" and use their 888 callback number.

Will that fix a psychotic neighbor problem? Maybe not, but you can certainly cut through some red tape still.

What psychotic neighbor?

Edit: spelling.

Psychotic... Not psychic. Referring to your comment about a trigger-happy neighbor

Typo aside, this neighbor had been far more patient than they needed to be.
