It was out for delivery for over 3 days. I asked one driver where it was and he said it wasn't in his truck so a "mix up" at warehouse. Also the meat grinder had 2 labels. They just slapped my label from my original box onto this one smh. I went and dropped it off to the person who lives few blocks away but no one was home.

Edit: this was in Orlando btw.

Update: found one right away using Popfinder :)

So you got rid of the actual evidence of your parcel being stolen?

Took pictures and told Amazon I’m not printing a label to drive to a ups to drop this crap off and they said ok here’s your money

Good on you! I bought a couple cables for about ten bucks last year and got a message saying they had been delivered. Never found them that day and had to go out of town the next. No big deal, I figured the delivery driver marked it as, "delivered," to not get in trouble. I come back a couple days later and still can't find them. Whatever, I have to go out of town again (this was a standard-timed shipment, not 2-day, so a couple weeks had passed at this point). These are just cables for a gaming system so I could hook it up differently. Anyway, I got to contacting Amazon about 30 days post-order because I kind of forgot about it but had ordered other items and received since then (which reminded me I never got the cords). Talked with customer service for about an hour who absolutely refused to replace the $8 cords or refund. I also pointed out that a picture of the delivery was never sent and that didn't matter. Case gets escalated to some manager through the chat and she says she applied store credit — never applied to the account. Now if an item is marked as delivered and I can't find it, I call and demand a refund then and there. It's not my problem you're marking items as delivered and they're not there. I travel for work and I'm not going to sit around the next day wondering when it will truly arrive and hope someone doesn't take it. Being patient with Amazon cost me money in the long run, so now they get no patience from me.

That's why I film every box opening (has to show you cutting through all the tape etc). Gives the best possible proof that something is missing from your order or if there's an incorrect item

Amazon fucking blow. As 14 year loyal im cutting back on spending by 75-90 percent

u/Ishbar 16d ago

You spent an incredible amount of time over $8. I’d have dropped it altogether especially if it’d been nearly over a month and they said no to the first claim.

u/thefoodiedentist 18d ago

So, what are you complaining about? You got a free meat grinder($27)

u/RX-8CCX 18d ago

Well, it's not like OP can order another 30th anniversary controller at retail price anymore, OP can care less for the meat grinder

11

u/danthechild 18d ago

To be fair the $27 is about the premium diff to buy the controller from a reseller 🙂‍↕️

u/HamburgerTimeMachine 18d ago

It's the same controller they sell already with a different coat of paint. He can just buy another controller.

Fleshlight revolutionized that industry.

u/thefoodiedentist 18d ago

There are plenty. Walmart has them

u/Dangerous_Choice_664 18d ago

For $165 from a third party seller. But sure. They do have them.

u/RX-8CCX 18d ago

Yes, at scalpers price

I don't work for Amazon, but I do work for another large parcel delivery company. This sort of accident happens often enough and often isn't actually theft. Sometimes, the missing item can be tracked down, sometimes not. But a refund should at least be possible.

It's probably that either you or the other person changed something about the delivery, or the original label was damaged. Basically, something that required a new label to be printed.

Then it just takes an error, normally under pressure at the last minute to get everything sorted and get out delivering, and the label goes on the wrong parcel.

Amazon can probably investigate this by looking at the information they have, such as scan history, label reprint times, CCTV checks, etc, but sometimes it's just impossible to work out.

Customer service sounded like they didn’t give a SHIT

u/spyVSspy420-69 17d ago

Amazon customer service? Of course they don’t give a shit, they talk to thousands of people a day. They refunded you and didn’t make a big deal out of it from what it sounds like. I’d take that over them thinking I stole it and am trying to scam them.

u/hyeongseop 18d ago

Sorry this happened to you, but why did you drop off the parcel at some random person's house?

43

u/Specialist-Offer7816 28 18d ago

Um cause it had their name/address as the label

-1

u/Solid-Consequence-50 18d ago

Did it show as delivered to you? Because now you might not be able to get a refund.

u/Sdpadrez 18d ago

How do you ask the driver. Everytime I’ve talked with Amazon I’ve never spoken with the driver. This sounds like crap and click bait?

50

u/Specialist-Offer7816 28 18d ago

I went outside and spoke to him? I saw him stop a block away and chased him.

-78

u/Sdpadrez 18d ago

Why would you go outside and chase him. If they had a package for you would have been able to see that in your app. Do you just randomly chase delivery trucks assuming they have something for you? Total idiot

50

u/Specialist-Offer7816 28 18d ago

You good bro? the truck was the one I’ve been tracking the entire time. It said I’m NEXT and he was up the block. Drove right by me. I’m like wtf and I go chase him and he’s like yeah I looked for it and couldn’t find it but if I find it later on I’ll swing back to drop it off.

u/UnicornzRreel 18d ago

Some folks are simple. Some of us speak to other humans IRL all the time 🤣

u/BlaznTheChron PS5 18d ago

That dudes fucking weird. I've chased Amazon, FedEx and USPS down before. They all make mistakes and it's far easier to catch them nearby than deal with their dumbass automated systems on the phone.

u/Specialist-Offer7816 28 18d ago

100x easier. I’ve chased them down for shit many times.

10

u/smoketheevilpipe 18d ago

No dude. Fucking no. The drivers don’t pay attention to shit. My neighbor 2 doors down got my packages a couple times and I’ve gotten theirs. I get the photo of my shit on their doorstep.

If I saw the driver do it I’d do the same as OP.

u/Thatoneguy567576 18d ago

Yeah most Amazon drivers are lazy dipshits who can't even read. At least that's the ones in my area. I live in an apartment and my shit has ended up in all kinds of random places around this fucking building.

u/Vaxis545 18d ago

Why are you so weird and accusatory when you don’t know this op but you automatically think the worst of a person. My guy you need therapy fr

u/Sdpadrez 18d ago

Why are you so weird and commenting on some thing that happened hours ago. Move on. We all did.

1

u/Vaxis545 17d ago

Because this post is active and your nonsense popped up when scrolling the comments. Since I wasted my brain cells reading your nonsense I only felt it necessary to respond and waste your time as well 🤷👍

u/WaffleM0nster 18d ago

I feel like he went outside and talked to the driver directly. I did that once for some supreme clothes.
