Amazon needs to stop using crappy carriers.

[ChaoZ]

They've switched to Ontrac in my area, and they must be the shittiest carrier ever. The tracking says my item was delivered, but I don't have it. Too lazy to ring the doorbell to notify me (is this a new trend)? Left at front door? What? It's definitely been stolen.

This is the 3rd time this happened. Damn you Amazon and your cost cutting measures.

/end rant

 

[nageov3t]

everything I've ever ordered ever from amazon was shipped UPS (not counting stuff from 3rd party sellers)

Everything comes to me via UPS 2-Day.

Prime FTW

 

[shortylickens]

I've had more than enough problems with UPS to make me reconsider my Prime membership.

 

[Meghan54]

Problems with UPS usually, not always but usually, are a result of your local UPS, from the last hub to you.

In our area UPS is THE carrier and I cannot tell you of all the problems we've had to endure from FedEx.


Then again, with 2-day shipping via Prime, the packages seem to be treated much better. After all, they're segregated from the ground shipping stuff and seem to be handled better.

 

[xSauronx]

cant recall the last time I had an issue with UPS, FedEx or the USPS. *shrug*

 

[Jesusthewererabbit]

I've had lots of issues with UPS. I deal with them all the time at work, and they are horribly understaffed here. I've had lots of 2 and 1 day air stuff delivered after 9 at night. Give me FedEx any day. They don't seem to enjoy raping your packages nearly as much as UPS.

Still, thank god for Prime.

 

[erikistired]

they are using velocity express here lately. it's some dude in his own car dropping things off at the door, not ringing the doorbell. i actually miss UPS lately.

 

[boomhower]

Lately I have been getting USPS on my smaller Prime stuff. It is still getting to me in two days so I don't care. Plus USPS gets here before UPS.

this.

I've never heard of Ontrac.
OP, do you live on Titan, Saturn's largest moon?

The bay area. It seems like Ontrac is now a huge part of the west coast.

 

[zinfamous]

well, fuck me silly. I live in the Bay area, too.

:hmm:

 

[Terabyte]

Yep, I'm on Prime and I get my stuff via UPS or Ontrac. Both shipping companies usually don't knock on the door. They just leave the package at my doorstep - good thing my neighbors aren't thieves

 

[zinfamous]

So...is it gonna take Ontrac to get this Bay Area ATOT meet going? huh? hmmm?

:sneaky:

 

[slightlyhuman]

fuck ups and fedex. i work at ups.

 

[Tristicus]

fuck ups and fedex. i work at ups.

Well fuck you!

 

[thescreensavers]

Lasership here, but USPS delivers it.

 

[lokiju]

I have prime and everything is UPS.

No issues so far.

The only time it hasn't been UPS is when it's freight items and then they have a local company that does a great job.

 

[foghorn67]

If you're a Prime member in socal, they deliver with OnTrac. Or if they can't ship in time for a UPS two day delivery, they'll send it overnight with OnTrac.

if you're living in socal, amazon shipping should be the least of your worries

 

[eplebnista]

Prime here too is UPS. No issues yet.

 

[Terabyte]

I think that's why we sometimes get packages delivered by Ontrac

socal in general is the least of my worries.

 

[mrjminer]

I ordered two things to be delivered the same day with prime, one of them with standard, 2-day prime shipping and one 1-day.

The 1-day came FedEx, the 2-day came UPS.

I've never had a problem with either here, other than the only FedEx location being 30 minutes away for when I miss something that's signature required.

Last package from Amazon was shipped via UPS and the box was all banged up. The product had a crack in it and I had to send it back.
