Actually, I am a HUGE Amazon fan. If not for them, I would not be able to have many of the things I use on a regular basis, because brick anmd mortar stores charge twice as much. I have returned plenty of things, had issues with things, but they have never not resolved something to my satisfaction. I am sorry you are having issues, but I am very happy with them. Ana

I'm with Ana... I live out in the country and use Amazon heavily. I've ordered hundreds of not thousands of items from them over the years from a large oak pedestal table to shoes to mouth mints for my mom. The few times I've had an issue, they have responded immediately and to my complete satisfaction. I had a television delivered with a cracked screen. I was able to box it up and they sent UPS to my door to pick it up. They even shipped a replacement before I had returned the faulty one.

I, too, get lots and lots of stuff from Amazon, and have never had a trouble getting problems settled. I use the "call me" option. But given the amount of stuff I get from them, it's a low percentage that I've even had problems with.

My Amazon orders are delivered by special Amazon delivery trucks, not UPS or USPS. I have Amazon Prime though, not sure if that matters. Most things I can order in the morning and get it by the end of the day.

Mine too, Sparkle... The vast majority of my items are shipped through UPS with some smaller items shipped through the USPS. If it's shipped through the post office, things are not as reliable as UPS. UPS has it here in 2 days unless there are things like severe weather causing delays.
All the things you describe above, oldbroad, are the fault of the delivery service, not Amazon. Unless, I've missed a huge news event, Amazon does not have their own delivery company. They use UPS and USPS with the USPS sometimes contracting out, as Sparkle says.

We have local pickup areas all over too for Amazon fulfilled items. It will let you know if available and if so, you can just go pick it up yourself. Since I am a prime member and don't have to pay for shipping, I have never used that option.

My last Amazon purchase took 10 days because they didn't ship it for 5.

My Amazon purchases are delivered in a plain white non-marked small van. At first I didn't know who it was roaming the neighborhood and then at my door, but now I'm used to it. Only problem I ever had was my regular Post Office mail guy who scanned a DVD as delivered with the time he supposedly put it in my mailbox, and it never arrived. So I realized I was home at that time, went out to my mailbox, got all my mail and nowhere was the DVD. It was obvious that the mail guy took it himself, since the time scan was done right then. I complained, I got a replacement and now I watch my mailbox like a hawk and check what I get against the 'delivery confirmation' on line. We don't have a 'regular' USPS guy anymore. They changed his route and for the past 2 years we have had a series of people. I think they just grab whoever is around to deliver to our 3 block route. Weird. Can't count on time of day and many times, we get each other's mail mis-delivered and have to put it in the right boxes ourselves. AND we get a lot of mail for some guy who just can't figure out he needs to put EAST on his address. I'm about to write him a nastygram to update his address with all his contacts.
