Well you'd hope no one would be dumb enough to still give them a discount.

Amazon to open cargo network in Wilmington

I did some shopping at Target this weekend and everything but one item I bought was cheaper than on Amazon. I use the barcode reader on the Amazon App. Target price matched that one item so I ended up getting everything for less. If Target sold all the same items as Amazon I would cancel my Prime Membership. But they are lacking in a few categories.

In my state Amazon is not currently charging tax, and I get a 5% kickback on the Store Card so at a total of about 13% combined, it's pretty competitive. I would love for a Target to come to my town though. If I want something today I'll happily forego the discount.

When I retired I cancelled my cable subscription, installed an antenna, and I use the Prime acct for free movies and a few paid ones. I'm easily saving over $500 a year just on cable.

I really don't care for Amazon, they are easy to order from but thats about it. I got a delivery yesterday, and once again they left an item out of the box. It took over two weeks for them to ship something 291 miles away to me. None of the Prime prices are great either, they add a few bucks extra to cover that so-called free shipping.

Prime prices can swing further than Hillary's poll numbers from one day to the next. What might be a great deal today can easily be highway robbery tomorrow.

Stop buying stuff and save money.

since we live 45 miles from the stores amazon is good for us. however have had some problems lately with some sellers.

some sellers give free stuff to frequent buyers in exchange for reviews , usually a 5 star review when it should be 2-3 stars. we used to have confidence in the reviews. not anymore.

scratch is right. they pad the price for the free shipping. but i still use amazon for hard to find items and gift cards for the grand-kids.

used to order 2-3 times a month. havent ordered anything in 2016. we just keep a running list till we go to the big city.

Fed Ex is also speeding up delivery while we are worried about Orion....

Apparently they cut 15 routes out and laid people off in West Carrolton because of Amazon taking their business elsewhere. This area is gonna get hit hard.

How is that so? We're still the last leg of delivery.. I highly doubt they cut 15 routes

I was told this in a sales meeting yesterday. The lack in Amazon volume isbkilling our area. They said other centers in the are could possibly see cuts from 1-5 routes as well as layoffs.

We are slowly phasing Amazon out.


We are the last leg less and less.

 

[Thatguy123]

I don't see it. We're running 2-3 routes more per day than this time last year. Hope we don't phase Amazon out. Their volume provides teamsters jobs

Amazon is phasing us out. Not the other way around.

Don't be so sure.


We raised their prices knowing we'd lose the volume.


It's high volume low profit stuff. Can't say I blame ups.

There seems to be nothing but bad news concerning Amazon. Meanwhile.... Our CEO says that he feels comfortable with our relationship with them. LOL!

 

[browntroll]

not sure what they pay their drivers but last time i saw a guy get lost in my apt
complex for 5 min, eventually its gonna add up to their delivery cost compared
to having us do the work. should be fun when the teamsters try to make amazon workers union.

Amazon is becoming the next Wal Mart in terms of quality. They're going to have some serious issues in the next few years.
