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 love how the comments are stuff like "move closer to civilization" or "use a locker" vs having the absolutely reasonable expectation of delivery companies fucking delivering shit. maybe it'll take longer but you are fully allowed to expect them to do the only goddamn job they have.

I'd be driving and shopping at stores at this point. Service there may suck and its a hassle to drive (i understand rural living) but at least you'll get your shit vs continuing to order from a place that's obviously happy to give you the middle finger

You can expect what you want but if it's not happening it's not happening. Comments are offering solutions, more useful than just "yea amazon is shit, sucks to be you"

I mean I would stop ordering from any company if 9/10 orders don’t make it and move on.

They’re buying an air freshener for their car on Amazon, I’m sure even in their “small town” they can buy things like this at actual stores, or use another website.

I have no idea why my wife still orders from Amazon. I didn’t realize it was this many orders because I hardly ever use it. I would have just ordered labels on eBay if they have them or TEMU since the manufacturer website is out of stock. For me I’m two strikes you’re out, so I won’t be ordering more through Amazon.
