I don't wanna judge because I don't know you or your life. But ordering laundry detergent from Amazon is like mindblowing to me. I didn't know people did that when the grocery store is right there.
Right where?

This never works though, especially when you order baby stuff for some reason. If I order diapers, they're guaranteed to show up by themselves. I've ordered 5-6 things and had them show up spread out through a week, sometimes 2-3 seperate deliveries on the same day.Try making a list and have a designated day of the week you order everything and select the option to have everything delivered on a specific day (single order is key). The environment will thank you.
i don't think OP is saying "fuck these drivers for doing their job" dude. assuming this is Amazon's delivery service since Fedex, UPS and the USPS stop delivering at 7/8 PM, it's incredibly dumb and dangerous for Amazon to pressure their drivers presumably under the same conditions they do their warehouse workers, maximizing productivity at the expense of the worker. in this case it's actually inconveniencing the consumer, which flies in the face of Amazon's whole ethosfuck this idiot for bringing me my laundry detergent at this hour. the nerve.

Example - I ordered two boxes of diapers, a box of wipes, a set of new bottles, some detergent and a toy for my oldest. I got - both boxes of diapers in seperate deliveries on the same day, the wipes and detergent as seperate deliveries the next day, and my kids toy and the bottles the following day in the same box. I even clicked "as few deliveries as possible" option.
What am I supposed to do about the fucked up way Amazon sends me shit?
🤔 i wonder if i should support this kind of thingi don't think OP is saying "fuck these drivers for doing their job" dude. assuming this is Amazon's delivery service since Fedex, UPS and the USPS stop delivering at 7/8 PM, it's incredibly dumb and dangerous for Amazon to pressure their drivers presumably under the same conditions they do their warehouse workers, maximizing productivity at the expense of the worker. in this case it's actually inconveniencing the consumer, which flies in the face of Amazon's whole ethos
Yeah, I've tried to line up orders before and it never works. I don't subscribe, because I prefer just going and grabbing it at the store and only resort to ordering in a pinch. I'm just saying that you don't need to make small seperate orders for Amazon to totally fuck it up and split your deliveries to hell, is all.I've had success when I combine everything into a single order for delivery on a specific day of the week, non 2 day shipping. But what works best is if you can subscribe to these products you use on a regular basis and get a single monthly delivery.

I live in suburbia, the truck will pass my house every single day whether I buy something or not, though.
Yeah wtf, I agree.Wtf at the hostility in this thread. I don't know how clear I can make it - I just would like to not have my doorbell rang at 10:26 at night. That's all.
I'm not upset it's arriving late. I wouldn't even be upset if 90% of these things arrived in 5 days vs 3. I was merely asking if something had changed recently or if anyone else encountered something similar so I could maybe find a constant.
:(
will "take your time" delivery change when they arrive? I'll try that. 2 day delivery is rarely important to me.
ya you're right using amazon is bad. OP should have just bought his detergent diapers and socks from Walmart
There should be an option "deliver all together". Alternatively take out the release games and order the other stuff first, order items packaged together, then order games to be delivered asap.hypothetical: game release Tue. Another game releases Fri. My wife needed laundry detergent. I ordered socks for my new cycling shoes. My daughter ran out of diapers. I may order those on the same day but they arrive on different days.
Yep, cause I live in the first world.
he'd get to do it at his own convenience, at least. but then we wouldn't have this great thread.ya you're right using amazon is bad. OP should have just bought his detergent diapers and socks from Walmart

fair enough. as someone who appreciates great threads and hates using doordash out of pure guilt i can get behind this sentiment 100%he'd get to do it at his own convenience, at least. but then we wouldn't have this great thread.
i really do wonder what that post really means. people are largely hypocrites? that's not new. i don't think anyone is looking for a pat on the back, just for acknowledgement of the ridiculousness that logistics has become.
I really only use Amazon (or online shopping in general) for stuff I can't get locally or within a reasonable drive for short notice. Buying laundry detergent and diapers of Amazon just seems weird to me. Why not just get it at one of the many local stores you undoubtedly pass each week?
Or do what most people do and plan a weekly shopping trip from your household essentials and groceries.
Trying not to judge because ultimately it doesn't matter to me how you do your shopping, but it's just weird to me.
You are lucky... UPS doesn't even knock on my door anymore. I rely on delivery notifications to see if something is sitting on my doorstep or not.
Are the lower prices worth this frustration though? You're not going to be saving that much.
And it's hardly saving on gas when you drive past a dozen stores that sell this stuff each week anyway. He'll I'd even bet that OP or anyone else is already in a store that sells this stuff at least once a week.
This. I easily save hundreds or thousands on things I want and need. The range of Amazon is nuts. Books, household essentials, tools, components. The list is endless. The only thing I hesitate to buy on Amazon is food.
Lmfaoreceiving Amazon packages 5 times a week should be in the dsm vi
Yeah the uptick of vitriol on this board has become more and more noticeable.
