Prime Now= Theat to our industry

I have bought from ebay 1 time, was a disaster, never again.

I've had pretty good luck for the most part.

I actually make a point not to buy from people who I know are blatantly me on shipping.

That's how I feel when Shipping via UPS, li they're " me on shipping"

You charge your buyers almost 300% on shipping anyway. They'd be paying the same if not less if they were actually just paying for their shipping.

A company has to make a profit somehow if they're going to deliver UGGS to someone living so far on top of a mountain the county's rural electric grid won't even service them.

We have to service every address, the post office doesn't.

I had good luck on Ebay back when I used it a lot although one time I did have to pay 10 bucks shipping on a part that could have been sent for a 49 cent stamp. They told me they only ship UPS and 10 bucks is the minimum charge they have. If I really didn't need the part I would have told them to go friend themselves. Ebay has gotten to the point where just about every seller pads his pockets with extra shipping and handling charges.

Not anymore from what I read on here. I sounds like now days its up to the driver if he feels like delivering something-- otherwise he EC's it or calls in sick so his buddy gets stuck with it.

When we don't have revenue from big time shippers like Loyal Hamster, we have to friend* the other shippers.

So, it's YOU that everyone.

Thanks Loyal Hamster!!

I just answered my door and my girlfriend ordered groceries through Amazon...I had no idea she had done it..doorbell rings I answer it to some thug with sagging pants who greeted me by saying "what's up big " i was half pissed half laughing

 

[onehandsolo]

Out of the last 4 things ordered through Amazon, 3 were delivered UPS, which kind of surprised me, because usually they are not.

I live in Charlotte NC. There our two fulfillment centers within 90 miles. 90% of my Amazon orders come ups.

I live a surrounding city of you, won't say which but yes there is one, down towards Raleigh/Durham I believe, correct?

Yes, at least the Prime Now center. Right down the road from the Raleigh hub. Serves the entire surrounding area. And they bought billboard space right outside the hub advertising Prime Now.

Wow that's crazy. Have a friend that goes to school close to chapel hill/ Raleigh and said he's seen some of the advertising of Amazon there as well.
