Be glad it actually arrived at the correct address.
Had a delivery guy from GLS unable to read trying to deliver a parcel today.
You know, this is something that made me realize the difference between a professional workforce and an untrained one. I've been a Prime since my college days, and for over a decade I think they shipped to the wrong address ONCE, and maybe one delay/late arrival per year, but 2 days is 2 days. Which is an extremely impressive record. Even without all the bell and whistle, the prime membership was worth it for that alone. But then, basically all delivery was handled by UPS, Fedex, DHL
A few years back they open a warehouse in my state. Out of all the thing make me feel guilty the most about buying on Amazon is one: not supporting the local and two, no sale tax. Although I did put in my Amazon purchase amount each year when I file to pay the state its due. So at first I was like GREAT, I got all the usual benefit, the local getting jobs and now the sale tax is applied automatically since Amazon now have an official presence. Problem is, they also outsource the shipping to smaller gig business now. And ... things went to shit: my stuffs get delivery to the wrong address at least a handful time a year, delaying is a common occurrence, it's literally a coin toss whether I actual get the promised 2 days shipping or not these day. I also went from "never receive broken items in 12 years to have it happened several times in 3 years. In fact, the reason why I think the record isn't worse because I rarely buy easy to break stuffs from Amazon, I once have to send back a glassware that was broken on arrival, just to receive a replacement that also broken at which point I just asked for a money back.
Frankly at this point I'm seriously reconsidering the Prime membership, this year could be the last year I have it.
Think that qualified as a rant, yes?
