Speedy Delivery
Aug 5, 2022 12:21:27 #
During Amazon's prime days in July, I ordered a new Fire 10 because with a credit for my old Fire 8 I could get the $150 tablet for $39. It was delivered the next morning before I woke up.

You must have a distribution center nearby. I see a lot of Amazon truck driving around when I go to different areas.

They can afford it.

Even though they make billions they have huge debt
Don't we all? That's what keeps the economy moving - debt! Even the government owes billions.
I've watched several projects on YouTube that were begun but died because they couldn't get enough financing. In many cases, the people behind these projects had more than enough money to finance the whole thing themselves. That's not how they work, though. Rather than risking their own money, they get loans and pay interest rather than risking their own capital.

This is one of the new shipping ideas same day delivery
In order to accomplish their miracle delivery feat, Amazon enforces draconian production quotas on their employees. I’d rather have my delivery on a normal interval than to know some poor warehouse/distribution worker is exhausting themselves trying to meet a near impossible quota so they can pay their rent and buy groceries for their family.

My shirt did show up the next day but according to informed mail I was not going to receive any mail that day. Today, informed mail shows that one package will be arriving when there are actually 2.
The USPS informed mail isn't any more accurate than their deliveries.
This is not what we should be experiencing.

That's a nice sentiment, but don't assume that poor service is the result of workers who are treated well. Yes, it's true that workers across the country are underpaid, especially when compared to what the CEOs bring home. My son works with a woman who just quit her second job because she had no time to herself. On the other hand, we do have some control over our expenses.

My Dish Washer has a thin flexible Tape/Circuit board to control operations. Got damaged with a knife. Ordered from Amazon and was delivered the same day. Not bad service for an obscure part.
