Am at home today. I was sitting two feet from the front door (separated by the hall wall but with the door open) and saw a bloke come up our front path and post something through the door. Some time later, I go into the hall to find it's a 'We missed you' card from Amazon. The man wasn't carrying a parcel when he approached the house, he didn't ring the bell or knock on the door. So fleeting was his presence that I assumed it was a takeaway leaflet.
I am in today. I am not tomorrow, or the day after, or the Monday after etc. I had been meaning to knock Amazon on the head but kept forgetting, but after this, they're history. Two other delivery people from two different delivery places managed to deliver today, but then they actually tried. I called the number on the card and they denied that any delivery driver would do that. Pah.
AIBU?
To think the Amazon delivery driver might have made the fucking effort?

We upgraded to prime and have fairly shitty delivery service ever since. The last was just this week - we ordered a dvd. Apart from just ringing the bloody bell, the guy had a choice of two outdoor postboxes and just plain old shoving it through the letterbox in the front door.
Took him 3 attempts! 
Ah yes, Prime. Delivery just five days later. Impressive. 
I've had this before. Some of the drivers are just too lazy to ring the bell, unfortunately 
Perhaps they just write a whole batch of "you were out" cards and then go round posting them all.
I've already told Amazon and the operative just denied it would have happened.
I wasn't expecting a delivery. My husband has obviously been doing some shopping for my birthday so I've no idea what is expected, but two delivery drivers, a neighbour, a bloke from the carpet shop, and a friend all managed to successfully get me to the front door.
Well, speak as you find, and in the last week I've ordered two largeish (size, not price) items from Amazon using the 3-5 day free delivery - both arrived two days later, delivered by two different companies - and three books that I ordered on Tuesday and that were delivered by the Royal Mail post woman today.....

Amazon delivered me a parcel 2 weeks ago.
It was 'handed to resident'
And 'signed for by Chris'
I was on holiday. No one lives here named Chris. None of my neighbours are called Chris either.
Complained. Got a new replacement next day!
Amazon have also left a parcel 'in the porch' before. I live in a block of flats. I don't have a porch. I do have a doormat. They put the parcel underneath the door mat. It was a 4 slice toaster and matching kettle. Box was bigger then the door mat.....
