    If using Prime Now (which I assume this is about) then the user tips on-line when ordering, automatically set to £2 but you can change this to any amount or nothing if you so wish.
    Thanks, that makes more sense now. I was wondering why people would be tipping a standard Amazon parcel delivery :D

    WAT THE HELL!!

    Is that new or have i been tipping without knowing? Im going to check

    Sorry but Amzon is big enough to pay their staff properly instead of relying on me.

    It's only on Prime Now and is quite clearly stated at the checkout.

    I do tip, especially when ordering on a Sunday evening when ordering drink and snacks which I thought I didn't really want when shopping ;).

    You have more to worry about than Amazons carriers if you wouldnt notice every order being £2 more.

    The 'worry' was the thought of stealth tips courtesy of amazon, not the carriers.

    I probably wouldn't notice £2, which is why id expect places like Amazon to be very clear in what they are doing. But yeah, if you cloned my debit card, as long as you kept your spending (thanks to contactless) to less than a fiver a day, you may get away with it for a while.

    Anyway, im off to check my online statement, goodnight.

    So when you purchase from Amazon you dont check the total tallies with the items you chose?
    The 'carriers' are Amazons own carriers via Prime Now. Do you understand the difference?

    On occasion, maybe, depends. The carrier thing was understood a while back, its the very reason why i said Amazon should pay them better.

    Don't do it mate,I work for amazon and trust me that i see delivery driver getting treated like criminals,avoid if you can.

    What is involved working for them? Are Amazon as bad as Deliveroo and Sports Direct? I heard they are a bunch of !!!!!!. I did see a documentary on how the driver are treated, I presume all their staff are abused too.
    Sometimes my advice may not be great, but I'm not perfect and I do try my best. Please take this into account.

    So now we are delving through the mists.
    Do you understand it relates to Prime now only?
