Shipping problem

[dsosnowski06]

This is exactly why I do most of the shopping at a actual store or have it shipped to the store for pick up.  I rarely order from Amazon.  Tried to order two things from Amazon and it took the sellers over two weeks to tell me the items were no longer available.

99% of what I order from Amazon ships from Amazon.  I don't fool with ships from the seller.  It should have told you when you ordered if it was in stock or not.  The only place we have to shop is Dollar General, and I cannot afford to shop there, and Walmart.  I am trying to avoid Walmart at all costs.  I have heard from managers at Walmart they are moving toward being mostly an online seller.  Not sure how that would work with groceries.  I am not ordering groceries online.  And most of the stuff is more expensive.  I picked up some of the International Delights coffee creamers (24 for $1.66) and the same thing online was $13.00.  I don't know about where you are but our Walmart is phasing a lot of stuff out.  Most of what is on the shelf is their brand of stuff.  And a lot of shelves are empty.

It's so busy this time of year.  I heard on the news many people are having problems with shipments.  I hope they fix it for you.

Guess it is good thing that I live south of the city of Chicago.  About 6 Walmart stores and 4 Target within the area.  There is a Dollar General here too but it is really dirty and sloppy just like the Family Dollars so I never shop there. Really don't think Walmart will ever phase out many of its items but there is different and more available online at their  website

Yeah, receiving (or not receiving) packages from delivery companies, it can be a real headache. But, of course, I remember when you used to have to order things by phone or by mail, and they used to take 6 to 8 weeks to arrive via USPS 4th class book rate mail, LOL! Even so, I still get antsy when things don't arrive as or when promised.

I have had a few problems over the years, but it is always the post office fault, my local post office has had packages for me but my home address number is the same as another place, just a different street number and they dont look at the street number just the house number and take it to them. Luckily I have always gotten a text saying my package was delivered, so I run down to the post office and show them the message and they contact my carrier and she goes back to get my package.

so far i haven' had any shipping problems this year. actually with all the things that shipped these days i 'm surprised there aren't more errors.
hope you get the items you need in time.

I received packages yesterday that do not belong to me.  I was expecting items I ordered to be delivered but I got someone else's delivery instead.  I'm wondering if they got my package?  I have sent a message to the lady whose packages I received.

That does not make sense.  You can't have the same address as someone else.  My house number is the same I am sure as many other house numbers.  A "house number" and a "street number" would be the same.  Unless maybe you live in an apartment complex or something.

This would only happen once or maybe twice with me and I would come unglued and it would be the last time it happened.  It is not that hard to look at the address and get it to the correct place.  I had a UPS left here a few days ago that was not mine.  I hollered at him before he left and said this is not mine.  He said well where does it go?  IDK I am not the delivery driver.  But you need to find MY package and take this one to it's destination.

I do fulfillment shipping for Amazon, I have to let them now asap or within 24 hours(latest) if items are out of stock or their shipping/tracking numbers.  I think if you cannot order by the 15th at the latest if can be really iffy if your packages will make it on time.  The volume of shipping goes up so much at this time of year.  Usually I am shipping 10-20 packages a day, right now it is closer to 150 packages a day.

i have never had problems with not getting something i have ordered. Hopefully you will get your other items quickly.

What does that mean?  I have heard that before.  So you have stock at your home and you ship packages for Amazon?  I thought their stuff came from their warehouses....

Nobody seems to be able to give a straight answer. Don't think I am interested in doing it I just want to know what it means.

Guess its just bad luck ? Like it happens to me sometimes as well and its really a bummer to add on to that I hope it gets delivered by a trusted company UPS,Fedex,Etc. My Bestbuy area thought they can cut the cost of delivery by getting a new company to deliver my items.  Last year I bought a new monitor and they just tossed it on my lawn not even ringing nor notifying me they came.

There is a difference in tossing it on your lawn and leaving on porch and not ringing the door bell or knocking.  They are not required to notify you they left a package.  Unless it requires a signature.  It is perfect legal and within their rights to leave the package and go on.  I am very familiar with the UPS and driver helper positions.  All they have to do is leave the package.  Some will knock and take off.  Why?  Because they have 480 more packages to deliver.

So you shop at Kohl's do you? Why did you decide to shop on Cyber Monday? Kohl's has some things goings on, but none of them very specific to Cyber Monday. Anyway.
