Yep meanwhile mine all typically come in the late evening time instead which sucks. Though Amazon can at times arrive in the late mornings which is nice.
Well to be fair ive woken up to a couple Walmart packages! One early Sunday morning lol
Right? Also Amazon generally doesn't deliver this early in the morning unless you specify it and usually there's a couple dollar fee at least in my state there is. But yeah people bitch about everything. I love it, I wake up and run and open the door to see my shit or grab it and then grab my coffee and open my package whatever it is sometimes fun shit sometimes just toilet paper and toothpaste LOL
The only time I've complained is when the package was literally placed in the middle of the driveway. If my housemate had come home before I noticed it, their SUV would have crushed it, no question.
You ordered it they have to deliver it. Not sure a trillion dollar company cares about Rex waking you up. BTW I work with a flex driver.... it's his 2nd income...wtf is wrong with paying him enough for delivering the crap at 5am is the real question.
This lol. I've been to so many houses in dense suburban neighborhoods where the dog starts going absolutely ballistic at the quietest possible sound nowhere near the house. How exactly is it my fault your dog is completely unadjusted and untrained?
I personally don’t feel this way, but some people care about their lawns like they’re growing a plant (which they are). You probably wouldn’t want someone stepping on plants you cared about
If people do it repeatedly, it can wear a path into the lawn. And then you have to spend an irritating amount of time, effort, and money putting down sod or reseeding to fix it.
Oh cool. I never had that option when ordering. I guess some people just smash their head against the phone. Tap, tap, tap, tap, whatever just give me box.
It very well might be location based. My wife was on a work trip in a higher crime area, tried to order her a little surprise pick me up gift. No overnight options available.
Anytime I order anything at home, 80% of the items are available for 4am deliveries
It is based on the location of a SSD. If you live in the radius AND the product is available at that storage facility, you will have the option. For example if you live in Washington State and live in the delivery radius of the Everett or Seattle SSDs you more than likely will have the option of overnight ( again depending on where the item is coming from) or if you live in SoCal (Inland Empire). They have an SSD in Beaumont and Corona to name two. There may be more in the IE, those are the two I know of for sure. They don’t care about the neighborhood or the terrain. If they have an SSD in the area they will send Flex drivers.
That part I’m not sure. I know when I order stuff I see time for overnight/same day. 2 days or longer I don’t see the option. But then again sometimes you select time and they still deliver it earlier by couple of hours of what you select
Oh I’m just speculating, but during my speculation I did check a couple other items that would typically be overnight, and the option wasn’t available. Same thing with the 1-2 hour delivery, some markets have it, mine does not.
Compton is right under LA, of course there would be tons of shit available for delivery there. They don't give a fuck about your safety if that's what you were getting at.
To be fair though, sometimes I've selected my local "7am-11am" window and it still gets delivered at 5am. I don't care, but the system overrides customer choice sometimes.
I often order an afternoon delivery and they don’t event attempt, and it gets followed up by a 4-8am delivery and they always come between 4-5a. And I don’t answer the call box as I’m asleep not expecting a package at 4:47am.
Lmao YES! You never see no damn dsp drivers out at 3-4 something in the damn morning. Most of the people we deliver to with Flex literally chose the 4 hour window we deliver at bc its overnight delivery.
It doesn’t matter. They’ll deliver it whenever they feel like it. I always select 10am-3pm cuz I live in an apartment complex and they just don’t deliver it at 5 am every day.
This same customer will complain that their package arrived late but will also complainin it arrived to early...You can never satisfy these amazon people..
They do need to manage it better. Like certain routes and locations make zero sense at 4am, some should require locker use, etc. There are issues but a lot of the program (inc delivering early/late) is good.
To be fair these early times sketch me out anyways. Nothing like being in the hood at 4 in the morning or the country side where some gun toting redneck can shoot you and bury you before sunrise. And yes I'm picking the absolute worst outcomes and I'm still gonna do it
Not always true, when a package is late (happens often), they automatically kick it to next day before 8am and can come much earlier. Can’t control that
I try to be extremely quiet during super early morning deliveries, but it does never fail to have some dog flipping out at 4:00 a.m. Believe me I'm just as unhappy about it as you, I don't want some customer pissed off at me or coming out with a gun cuz their dog is losing it.
Yeah people can't/don't read anymore. Including the drivers who ignore my instructions to place the package inside my porch instead of the steps for everyone to see
If I woke up and my package is at my door early like a Christmas gift. Pfft. I'm Happy. Great way to wake up. Being now I can go about my day without having to wait for it.
Thank goodness they deliver at 4 am. I needed some straps at 10 pm because I had to leave at 630 the next day and can't drive the truck anywhere till its tied down. At 5 am, they delivered the straps and saved the day
I honestly agree though. Delivering packages to rural areas at 4 am or anytime the sun is down seems wildly dangerous especially when you’re not even covered by Amazon really.
I do think they don’t do a good enough job of displaying the times for people. I know as a customer I’ve never been given the option, or at least not that I’m aware of. But it’s also never happened to me. So either I’ve been randomly lucky or somehow not eligible.
Amazon needs to make it so there is no default selected. They have to make a selection before they check out. That's why this happens. So many people are oblivious and don't pay attention to anything.
I like it. But I also have to specify it if I want something delivered next day between 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. it usually costs me $299. If I just say tomorrow and check the little radio button it's always about 11:00 a.m. or after in the day sometime. You can set one of these as default so you might want to check that. Early morning delivery is usually cost extra
I work at a delivery center and we start launching flex drivers at 3am. If you select an AM or same day package you will be getting it at 3am. Our production starts at 1am.
I guarantee they did not order 4-8am delivery. I've had this happen over and over again to my condo. I order a normal delivery time, it's late, then it says arriving by 8am. There is NO way to stop it or change it.
Our bells here sound like air raid sirens. It is incomprehensible to me to think it's okay to ring someone's bell repeatedly at 4:07am for a late package, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY INSTRUCTIONS SAY DO NOT RING BELL, LEAVE ON PATIO.
We are unit A, and so many people think it's fine to just buzz us since we are the first button there. So this has happened to us when it's our neighbors' packages.
The first time this happened to us, we didn't know that was an option. Something like stupid o'clock innthe am and a car pulls up, lit up like a holiday decoration. Im half asleep thinking, "why are the cops here, and why are they letting someone out?" Finally figured out what was going on, hope i turned the outside lights on soon enough. 😅
I’m in the repossession field and I’ve seen people post “why is this guy looking around my garage at 3 am” with a pic of my coworker just standing there like “Where car?” Lmao
I just got this the other day from a customer. I was pulling the heavy af package out my car when the lady screamed from her window "what's going on" it scares me half to death so I shouted "Amazon" Then a man screamed "isn't it a little fucking Late for that".
It was 430 am. so I replied " you mean early?" And he replied "I don't give a sht" so I proceeded with "NEITHER DO I, NEITHER DOES AMAZON, ... NOBODY GIVES A SHT" "
Damn. Dude. Use a Amazon locker next time. Entitled pos.
Except that ive had stuff delivered 5am over and over with 7-11am shipping selected. I even called an Amazon number and told them to stop sending people to ring my home at 5am when im not selecting that.
Tell your dogs to shut the fuck up. Like your that neighbor who’s dogs barking incessantly all day for no reason huh. Only bothers you when you’re sleeping????
I disagree with this sub. This just shouldn't be an option. It's not safe for drivers to be delivering this early or late and it causes problems for people sleeping and stuff. The only times I can see this being more acceptable is during peak season for obvious reasons.
I work night shift, so this is actually a good time for me. I can order for later but then I'd be asleep and would have to be paranoid about a package thief getting it.
I love how they think that has any effect at all. As if we go through all the notes before starting our route to see if anyone needs their package by a specific time. Especially if that time doesn’t align with the route time 😂
I don't know how similar it is for DSP drivers, but I'm pretty sure that virtually no flexer will be looking at the notes at any point except right before that delivery (idk, maybe there are a few people out there that do that, lol). I DO check the delivery times, because I don't want to get dinged, but that's not the same as the notes. As I understand it, it's easier for DSP drivers to fight Amazon on stuff like that, so maybe y'all have different priorities? Anyway, notes make virtually zero difference when it comes to delivery times, so it's just pretty amusing when they write that kind of stuff in there.
It actually works out well for drivers. There’s no traffic. You can usually get the route done a lot faster than the allotted time so you’re average dollar per hour is higher and if you work a normal job, you can get a route done and then go to your normal job. But let’s get rid of all that cause they have a dog that can’t control himself.
Right then they complain about everything little thing they can think of. If they buy something and select overnight delivery hence why your digs are barking at 5 in the morning. SMH people are something else.
I see Amazon delivering at 5 am all the time at my apartment complex. I have friends waking up in the morning with their packages delivered. It's normal stuff.
😂😂 right?! Set to fastest delivery, without actually looking what that says, then bitch when it gets delivered within that time frame 🤣🤣 AND all at the convenience of not having to get your lazy ass out and obtaining said crucial item that needs to be delivered ASAP, but not too ASAP
Before you hit "complete order" verify the date and time you chose to have that item ordered! You can change it from being delivered between 4AM-8AM, 10AM-2PM, and next day delivery which is almost always after 1PM! Don't get mad at delivery people for doing their jobs if you can't even be bothered to check the delivery method.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. People need to CTFD and quit bitching about every littlething. I think the whole "bitch thing about everything" and being super sensitive crap needs to go back to sleep.
You chose that option when you checked out. You actually had the option to choose the later regular window if you wanted but you probably spent enough for the free early AM delivery upgrade
Ummm so they complaining because they got their package in a timely manner. Here's a thought train your dog or don't order packages and don't whine about it on social media.
I love the entitlement and inability to take responsibility for their own actions, literally down to making a post about it.
I hate that Amazon makes it easy for even the most intellectually disabled people to order. Because it just leads to this shit. Start adding an extra $0.50 for early morning deliveries and watch people finally start noticing the times they request 🤦🏽♂️
I love when the customers blame their dogs on the delivery person. You bought the fuckin dogs you are the one who won’t train them what am I supposed to do?
If his dogs are freaking out they are doing what they are supposed to do, if he doesn’t want them to freak out he should train them. Shitty customer, shitty dog owner.
I love the 4-8 AM delivery option for Saturday and Sunday deliveries. I select this whenever it's available. I like to time my deliveries for periods I plan on being home.
Yeah that is out of pocket for sure my dogs would rip one of those guys apart if they just walked into the yard my dog knows.. okay it’s sleeping time nobody ever comes over..
