Vent, Amazon lockers deliveries.

LadyDee

Anyone else remember the good old days of mail order when we had to wait for "up to 28 days" for delivery. No last minute, must have it by tomorrow, orders then! :-)

Glad you got your parcel OP.

Sorry, been awayfor a week which is why I needed the item. Got a text at 19:54 so managed to get to the locker in Morrisons before going away early next day.
Just always seems that if something is urgent it arrives at the end of the day!
The tracking was useless, just shows out for delivery all the time!

You are annoyed that it showed out for delivery when it was actually out for delivery? If you want specific time slots you need to pay extra to use a service like DPD but most other couriers just show that it is on its way. Maybe you should be more annoyed with yourself for leaving something you needed that badly until the last minute.

You paid for delivery on a certain date. Your item was delivered on said date.

Should this be a praise rather than a vent?

Whereas, not being able to get the tickets you want at the Brighton dome is a problem that affects the world population?

If you don't want to read about "first world" problems then there is an extremely simple answer.
Don't read forums whose users are in the majority, first world residents dealing with problems in a first world country.

Have you actually seen an Amazon locker? As posted, they're all situated in business premises, mainly shops and supermarkets and therefore will be available only whilst that shop is open.
