This is how Amazon delivered my parcel.

How big is that step down from your gate?

[cml24]

Am I being too kind to the driver?

You see things like this all the time and I'm not saying it's right, just that there is a way for Amazon to fix it!

[derektrimblitz]

We had an Amazon delivery last week. The driver reversed into my wife’s car at speed. Then fked off.. tt.
We have good CCTV though and I’m currently progressing it through insurers.
Unmarked van though and no real way of tracing the driver except reg. number.

I don't blame the driver. Amazon set unrealistic targets and 'promote' fast sloppy delivery practices...

I've never seen anything that highlights the good points of working for Amazon at any point in the chain, warehouse, delivery driver etc.

Regardless... You don't blame the driver? Thank god you arent important....? !

How do you know he isn't important?

He might be the regional manager of a matress wholesaler, or HR director in a plastics company, or a PR consultant to the cosmetic jewellery industry... This is Pistonheads you know! We're not all work shy NHS doctors or University research scientists here you know!!





(I do agree that the delivery driver is a plonker though)

[thebraketester]

Maybe order a boomerang next time.... that will learn him..

[CoolHands]

I like the boomerang action

[Prohibiting]

Made me chuckle. Not ideal though.

I would have thrown it like a frisbee but he had an unusual technique.

Was it a book about how to make paper aeroplanes? :-)

No staff should do this no matter what their pressures. They don't give a flying fk. Clearly not a job for them.
And if I was his boss I'm afraid I wouldn't give him a second chance.

Nice selective quoting there. It was cml24 that you implied wasn't important, not the delivery driver.

My point to the op was hopefully he didn't hold a position of responsibility and 'manage' staff. It was said tongue in cheek. Grow up.

Dude has skills with his anger problem.

I would suggest you 'grow up' by not relying on petty perceived social differences in order to make a point (with which I, coincidentally, in this instance agree). It just makes you sound like a bit of a 'Captain Mainwaring' style buffoon.

I've started to use the local sub-post office for Amazon deliveries, it's only 5 mins walk from home and the stuff is usually there at 2pm or shortly after. It's much better than risk not being in or having the above happen.

[Higgs boson]

Even with 3 or 4 cars parked at my house, the door is rarely knocked ... just the “we missed you” form shoved in the letterbox, and the package thrown in the shed.
They must really hate any interaction.

Social differences? And your reply is what exactly?? Go away.
