Amazon orders which when investigated state that the order "couldn't be delivered' . I was in the house, you didn't ring or message. WTF.

PLus mad delays on other orders, is it really that hard?
 
I always relied on this service but has it recently gone to sh^t or is it just me?

I usually get my Amazon stuff delivered to work as it's a whole hassle to get it delivered to my apartment. Ordered a book of Seamus Heaney poetry the other week and the dumb cunt driver just leaves it on the ground outside the branch (usually if the branch is closed they'll try again the next day). There's homeless in the area, so of course I arrive the next day to see the package all ripped open to shreds. Then look over and see the book of poetry fucked off to the side. Gave me a good laugh thinking about the thief being all excited to get a free package, getting it open, and then, "Ahh for fuck sake, POETRY!?"

The death of tickets.ie

I posted about this in the gig section about 2 weeks ago. Good riddance to the cunts they were awful to deal with trying to get money back any time a show was cancelled. Now they've run off with half a million in other people's money.

Just me so.  No, not based in Ireland.  First time with an issue but I guess depends on the seller and/or delivery company they have opted for. I'll get my coat.....

Not Amazon but many times I have got the "package coming between 11.30 and 12.30 today" from DPD only for it to hit 6pm and still nothing. Then all of a sudden you get an email saying the driver called and nobody was home so he couldn't deliver even though I would have been working from home all day.

In my case it was always just a lazy driver who wanted to knock off early which is annoying as fuck given the prices we are forced to pay for postage these days.



I read a story from Texas a few months ago about a person that kept stealing packages off a porch so the woman who owned the house filled a box with black widows and left it there for him. He ended up getting badly bit and tried to sue her.

Without even checking, that is 100% guaranteed not a true story.

Well our resident fact checker has spoken and I stand corrected.
