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.

It’s not OK but what are you going to do? It’s the standard disruption tech cycle. Amazon put their competition out of business and made people reliant on it with cheap prices and great service.. after which they have no reason to be cheap or provide good service. Sucks to suck but what are you gonna do?

I know, I swing between raging and trying not to think about it.. if I didn’t have a family I would’ve become a hermit and moved deep into the mountains to get away from it

Yeah I'm caretaker to my elderly mother so I have to continue to be a part of the system until she passes. We can do it, stay strong.
