If you have prime, isn't it two day delivery? And if you have prime already, why pay so much extra for the next day? Just curious.
Do they sell porn at Amazon?

We're defending the driver and all the shit s/he goes through on any given day.

Shall I reveal all now, or wait and make the announcement when the package actually arrives?

It is only $4 more for one day shipping. If you need/want something in a hurry it isn't a terrible price.

If you're prime, next day is usually an extra $2-4, which is nothing if you really want it. I don't do it personally because most of my prime shipments come next day anyway. But it's not unusual to get next day.
Because I'm going to be away most of the day tomorrow running a test at work and won't get home before the apt. office closes to pick it up if they come by my place while I'm not there, and then leave tomorrow night for a wedding on Saturday, and won't be back until Sunday - and the office will be closed so I won't get it until Monday at that point.

Haha op, you are so fucked. Thanks for the thread though.

Had to post here, I work at FedEx ground in CT. Now like any jobs there are some drivers who are slow, lazy etc etc, but not too much of that here. The biggest reason for late shipping 99 percent of the time are the loaders themselves, or the trailers that drop stuff off in the morning. Yesterday for example, 79 stops, 167 boxes, could only finish 65 before it got too dark and unsafe to deliver in. Today, 95 stops, 280 boxes, deliver them all and I'm home by 6 instead of ten at night.
Only difference? The time I left the terminal. Everyday I get there at 6 am, but may not leave til 9 or 9 30 because a trailer driver took a wrong turn, or decided to get breakfast, which fucks up the entire day. When they are on time, I leave at 6 30, usually get it all done. Then you have misloads, packages that are put on the wrong truck, a fourth floor office that ordered 50 computers, oh sorry the elevator is broken. We only make 2 bucks per stop and 20 cents per box, so sometimes, it's been a real long day, and maybe driving all the way to you for one box isn't worth the 2 bucks, not when we have to pay for our own gas, or risk and accident driving late at night, only to get to your street and it may or may not have mailboxes that we can read safely. So to be frank, go fuck yourself, and if you need your box, order it express guaranteed.

I just wished my UPS guy knocked,

He wasn't alone.
Remember being a kid, and getting something from a magazine or contest. 6-8 business weeks later... so awesome when it came.

those were the best when I was a kid cause I always forgot about it so when it did come I was all fukyeah
Should be noted that UPS Drivers are paid hourly and not by the box like Fedex. But yes UPS also have misloads. UPS Drivers also have to carry giant overweight boxes up flights of stairs. UPS drivers also have to deal with weather and traffic. A snowstorm in Louisville can lead to a whole semi full of packages being late to Indianapolis.

No way, all this over a leather case?
That's the best, trying to lift a box that clearly says team lift up a flight of stairs while the perfectly capable guy who ordered it watches, and oh shit if I drop it and and hurt myself, I have no benefits and I pay for the contents of the box out of pocket, then also get suspended or fired, awesome.

Such a major backfire. People are just piling on now because it's like a free pass to be a dick.
As for your package not being delivered, I get how it's annoying. Luckily it's noting important and Amazon is cool about compensation. If the worst thing in your life is a late package right now, that's pretty good.

Yeah but my anecdotes are more important than yours.
Yeah, I'm really confused about my estimated shipping date right now, it's supposed to come tomorrow but just left the distribution center in CA today (I live in NJ). Oh well.
Also, my UPS guy is the best, he just walks to the back yard and leaves it by the door, so simply, yet so convenient.

And why brick and mortar is still better when the product you want is available at a decent price. Shipping companies really need to improve their system.
It did cost him his job, at least. Hopefully he never finds work in delivery again.
How do you know it's a pointless package? What if it's important medicine or a business parcel and it was guaranteed to arrive that day but it doesn't? The idea of a package not being there on the day it is promised to be is indeed meeting the definition of incompetence--you didn't fulfill the job you were supposed to.
Speaking of which, the mail lost my insurance card that my parents sent me so we have to order a new one and it's going to take at least 3 weeks -_-

I've had UPS deliver things pretty late, but it was years ago.
I don't think he's the asshole here.

If it's that important then you pay extra to make sure it arrives directly in your hands and you sign for it.
If it's the company sending it to you then they make sure that it's priority #1 and they make sure you signed for it. Who wants that backlash?
Okay so now that I read a few more posts maybe it is just a Kindle case but that doesn't mean that, in general, it's being self-entitled to want your package to arrive the day it's promised to you and that you paid for. Especially if it's important. A businessman could need a package delivered before he takes a flight out of the city or something, for example.

Came for the package delivery bitching, stayed for the Mana Legend meltdown.
He deserves a medal for breaking a customer's monitor? What are you people, on drugs? He deserves to be immediately fired (which he was) and fined for the cost of the monitor.
And for having such a huge amount of disrespect for other people's property he probably deserves to have a few of his things broken as well.
He should be out playing basketball.

Out of curiosity, just how fucking big is that stick up your ass? Because holy shit, you sound like a tool.
Hold on.
Did you pay extra so that the package would arrive today, or did you pay extra so the package would arrive today or tomorrow?

Because I'm defending the delivery guy and he's freaking out because his porn won't come until tomorrow?
I know that feel, OP.
I got two packages being delivered. It was supposed to be here yesterday. The place stops delivery at 8:00 PM.
Come 7:50 I figure it's not happening so I step out to get some beer at the corner. I get back at 8:05 and there's a missed delivery note on my mailbox. The time of attempted delivery? 7:59.
Goddamn I was pissed.
