    I had 7 products to be delivered yesterday. Two were delivered to the wrong address and even the wrong city, I know this because the recipient saw the address on it and tracked my phone number down, and messaged me. Then a third item, the most expensive one, a $300 computer monitor, was marked as "delivered" but never showed up.

    So Amazon delivery was 4 for 7 yesterday for me, not a great batting average.

    I ordered another of the computer monitors while I wait the requisite 48 hours to see if the original eventually shows up, as per Amazon's rules. It'll never show up, and my hope it that a refund will not be difficult to obtain. My best guess is that there's a concerted driver network theft ring going on, which I put a higher probability on than wrong address delivery which doesn't get cleared up by the accidental recipient.

    Amazon's fault for not always doing the picture thing when they leave it at the door. They sometimes do, but for some reason, not always.

    I know this was not porch pirates because I was basically waiting at the door and checked within minutes of the alleged delivery.

      False, that is a phenomenal batting average.

        I mean, if you're batting off a tee, the odds change.

          True. Keep us updated, the sketchy computer monitor thing is odd. It's not a small package that falls between the cracks...

            If they both show up, I return one unopened and no harm done. If the original "delivered" one never shows up, then I need to get a refund for something I do not have and can not prove I never received. But I guess it'll be ok as long as Amazon has no picture of the delivery. Which they do not.

              We have an Amazon warehouse just around the corner from where I work. When we go past it during our daily walk, there's frequently a strong smell of something that used to be illegal, but isn't any more. I'm actually a little surprised that anything gets delivered from there at all.

              I was only joking

                Had three successful deliveries today so far. Two of the three wrong deliveries yesterday were obviously honest mistakes, in that the recipient reached out to me.

                The most expensive and most easily resellable item, the computer monitor, is the only one unaccounted for and marked delivered but which was 100% not delivered here. Hmm.

                  Oh, and the cheap shit that got correctly delivered today came with a photo of the item on the doorstep. But the monitor didn't.

                    Got refunded for the missing monitor and ordered a new one to arrive tomorrow. ChatGPT convinced me that if it had been malice on the part of the driver, they'd have never marked it "delivered". I guess the malice is on the part of whomever got my monitor and did not give it back. Hopefully the delivery tomorrow will go without a hitch.
