Do u dont wanna Amazon has stopped delivering to us
My wife used order a lot from Amazon. Living in a tiny town without many shopping options it was quick and convenient, but about six months ago things started being late by weeks or simply marked lost. I rarely order from Amazon and we hadn’t discussed it, so when I order some shelves a month ago I assumed they’d be delivered on time, but they were so late I eventually cancelled and got a refund. Apparently my wife is been having this problem regularly and only receives one out of maybe ten orders. I ordered some thermal labels and photo album corners and I guess I have to find them somewhere else. It will say the item has shipped, then go to a distributor about sixty miles away then just be marked lost or delayed until we ask for refund. I didn’t realize it was every order until I mentioned to my wife that my labels hadn’t come and I keep forgetting to check the order update. I guess being a rural address they just don’t want to deliver here anymore.

It's been happening to me with every order, but usually it's a day or two later, when I made sure to order enough minimum to get same day delivery.
Then, the other day, I something for same day that we needed immediately. Got the notification late at night that it was delayed to the next day (yesterday ). I'm used to that by now so I was kind of expecting it. Get the notification early in the morning that it was out for delivery and should arrive by 10am. Great.
At 9:29 I get a notification that a delivery attempt was made but they would try again later. I get this three times over the next half hour or so. I check the tracking and it says it's in Windsor Connecticut - I'm in Massachusetts....
No more updates all day yesterday, and then I wake up this morning and I check it and it tells me that delivery attempts were made but it was undeliverable, and that the package was damaged while trying to be delivered.
Then it says I would get a refund (within a week) and could reorder, without even giving me any other option or offering to replace the shipment. I'm not happy because this was heavily discounted and I can't get that coupon or extra discount back to use again.
