Will Amazon Delivery Try Again Same Day

Last Fri night, after a particularly long day and a *ahem* few glasses of wine, I had a flash of brilliance. While mindlessly scrolling through Amazon, I noticed they have a nifty new delivery service called Subscribe & Save. In a nutshell, you subscribe to the delivery of products yous routinely use and the more y'all subscribe to, the more you save. It may have been the vino, but honestly, I was pretty turned on.

My goal correct now is to reduce my mental load, because I am telling y'all, I am effin' exhausted. From the fourth dimension I get up, until the fourth dimension I fall asleep my head is in a loop. Have all parties I care for been fed, watered and taken care of? Is the laundry washed? Did I miss a borderline? What'south for dinner? Exercise we have what nosotros need for dinner? Oh crap, I demand to pay those bills. When was our last dentist appointment? And on and on and on it goes. If you don't know what the mental load is then you're a human being, and you should caput on over and read this. If you lot're a woman, and then you are nodding your head in complete agreement here.

So all of this is to say, by subscribing to the delivery of toilet newspaper, detergent, feminine hygiene products, dishwasher tabs and smelly washer stuff, I was effectively reducing my mental load. Five less things I had to worry about ever again. Hooray for me and hooray for Amazon. I revelled in this modest victory until I got a discover on my phone from Amazon that read.

"Nosotros attempted to evangelize your product." And this is where I snapped.

Full bullshit. No one attempted to deliver anything to my dwelling and the reason I know this is that I work from home; my office overlooks my front walkway. The reality is that I've been ordering from Amazon Prime number for well over a year now and Canada Post has never delivered a parcel to my door. If it's pocket-size enough it hits the superbox a block away, and if it's a bigger box, I get the attempted commitment discover every single time. Until now, I've looked the other way, merely not anymore.

At present Canada Postal service has ripped my joy from my easily and handed that mental load right back to me. By having to make time in my day to go option up what I've ordered, and making certain I become there while information technology's open up (our local mail office even closes at luncheon for an hour – and so must call up that!), they've simply replaced i task with some other. So where practice yous go when yous're hopping mad and demand to vent? Why Facebook, of course.

In under an hour I had xix people confirm my suspicions. Canada Mail service is making simulated "attempted" deliveries across the country and people are pissed. That's bad for business—Amazon'south business. If that many people simply on my Facebook folio are having the same trouble, then I can only imagine the trouble is much, much worse.

Today I went into my local post office to complain. The lady there told me that their delivery guy is out on delivery until 8pm every twenty-four hour period delivering packages and that they were just trying to help him out. Um, what? For over a year?

I told her that if I take to come in and pick up the package it completely defeats the purpose of doing this, so that I would similar my packages delivered to my door from now on. "All of your packages?", she asked.

While I can absolutely sympathise with this person'south plight, I am non a Canada Postal service employee, and information technology is non my job to help reduce the burden. That's a employee/employer dilemma that needs to be solved within Canada Post. Sorry guys, just my mental load is at full capacity here, you're going to have to work this one out on your own. I'd advise you get on information technology straight away though considering….
