Amazon have been delivering their own packets for a while on our patch. Its the worse service you can imagine. DVD boxes which would clearly fit through the box left on steps.

After I got home today there was a knock on the door, white van outside, for an Amazon delivery which, being a paperback book, would easily have fitted through the letter box and didn't need a signature. :crazy:

We were told to bring NO tracked back - go to every neighbour but don't bring it back. Royal harassment of neighbours i'd say.

How are you meant to remember which neighbours you tried for each packet you take back? Are you meant to take notes as you deliver? :crazy:

Amazon come and go, it all depends on price RM are cheaper with some things dearer on others, quality of service doesn't matter, as long as it leaves the warehouse on time at the cheapest possible price, else why are yodel and amazon logistics still in business, they seem to lose our deliver late more parcels than anyone else, if you doubt what I'm saying have a look in amazons own customer forum.

Here in Hull we just lost our Amazon packets. It's a very strange feeling after all these years. I do actually miss them...

That lasted a couple of weeks in our office :so there
How are you meant to remember which neighbours you tried for each packet you take back?
I used to write the house numbers on the packet and then put a line through them
We're all here because we're not all there
