Nope.
I have a mechanic who loves to shop on Amazon. I walked in with a muffler and was surprised when he told me that he got it on Amazon.
We recently got Avon back, some days I have more Avon than Amazon.

Recently? I have been delivering Avon for years. Dread Avon Wednesdays every other week. Especially when they get their catalogues.
I've been getting a split off of another driver who has an Avon customer, those catalog boxes got bigger. They're twice the size now.

They don't fill half of the truck like they used to. In my center the routes in the crappy side of town and the lower income rural areas used get blown out with Avon. Now it's only a few scattered deliveries here and there.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I ran a few of those rural route. It was amazing how the route blew up on Avon day.

Our center doesn't get nearly as much Avon as we used to.

Here it was mostly the areas in town. I don't miss it. The preloaders would usually end up mixing stops together. It was a mess.

Seemed like a normal day here. I heard Amazon's sale was a flop. At least in my area.
I heard that it hit us unexpectedly as the centers/hubs closer to Amazons main warehouse got destroyed and we got a lot of the overflow. Never saw so many 2 day packages in my life, not even Black Friday/Cyber Monday aftermath.

There should never....NEVER EVER EVER...be an unexpected package arrive at a center unless it was not scanned at all between the shipper and arriving at the center. But I hope we get some of that action here. My route is sometimes cut on Fridays.
Yup, bbi, and one piece of tape no matter what it weighs, much better than the straps when the 2 cent necklaces would fall out. Overgoods.....
