NOTHING! Once again Amazon f**ked up and couldn't get a next day order to me as promised!
I've now had to REORDER THE SAME ITEM for the third time since 6/21 since they cannot seem to manage their shipping department or shippers to get items out as ordered despite numerous emails confirming orders and shipping trackers!

DONT ORDER FROM AMAZON IF YOU HAVE ANY ALTERNATIVE - even for a few $$$'s more !!!!

In the 4 years I have been ordering from Amazon I've only had 1-2 issues and the customer service always makes it right.

I got the last few internal components of my Kal clone Electric Brewery control box yesterday and the table top drill press I ordered yesterday will be delivered tomorrow.

I can finally start production on my control box!
 
Hell/ looking back my last four orders have been FUBAR'd. I'm still waiting on one order from 4/29 that's supposedly has been re shipped twice!
No more Amazon for me. IF my next day shipment actually shows up today I'm closing my account.

The 25' water safe hose came today as well. Two different Fed Ex vans delivering on the same day. How do they stay in business???

Water safe hose? :D


Re: Amazon…always great for me but their packaging decisions leave something to be desired. A fishing pole, for example, came in a box that was 5' tall (it was a 6' rod that split into two), 3' wide and 6" deep. It was smashed all over but I got it in one piece and spent 10 minutes trying to cut the cardboard up for recycling.

What came for me: nada. I forgot to hit "order" on my Amazon cart. :eek: I'll stop shopping at 3 am.

Are these orders shipped and sold by Amazon or sold by others and shipped by Amazon? That could be the problem.

They're a combination with the majority be from Amazon. I've learned that relying on the Amazon "Marketplace" vendors is a waste of time and money.
Rapidly beginning to think the same of Amazon!
My second Next Day shipping order did arrive! Now as soon as I confirm I've received the proper credits I'll close my account!!

Sounds like a local warehouse issue.
The nearest warehouse is only 90 min from me. Constantly get my packages on time or before. Warning though if the last leg of the delivery is threw the post office, they WILL fubar it up.

Amazon --> ups/fedex --> home = on time
Amazon --> ups/fedex --> usps --> home = late and sometimes crushed

Was working at the local UPS distribution point last week. Talking to a manager about this issue. He said the postal service contracted with amazon and ups to do a certain percentage of deliveries in order to build up the numbers. Basically the USPS can not compete and is slowly going out of business. It wants to use its powers to make its self 'seem' useful.

Ditto. Just had my first shipping snafu with a part that ups miss sorted. Amazon have me a $5 credit and extended my prime membership a month. Even though it wasn't their mistake.
