Amazon Delivery Fail

I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon since I should not really go out that much. So this past Monday, I ordered a tamagoyaki pan to make Japanese omelettes, some salted peanuts, and a book called Red Roulette. When I placed the order, the check out page said the package would be delivered in one-day, so yesterday. I waited all day for the package to arrive, and at 8:30 pm I received a delivery attempted and failed message from 8:16 pm. I checked the activity history on my security cameras there was definitely no delivery attempt made during that time.

This is the third or fourth delivery failure from Amazon this year. It is pretty incredible that they can delivery my crap that quickly, but do not make promises you cannot keep. The tracking data also said the driver was back at the Santa Ana distribution center at 8:30 pm. That is pretty quick if there was a real delivery attempt at my house at 8:16 pm. My guess? My package did not even get put on the truck at 10:26 am, and was generically marked as a failed delivery at the end of the route. That is total bullshit. If the package did not get on the truck in the morning, then send me a message. In either case, the package is not coming, and I do not need to wait around all day for delivery. Instead, I get these useless delivery time updates , but nothing is delivered. It is dishonest and I think it gives their customer a worse experience.

An Amazon delivery van is parked across the street as I type. Maybe it is a package for my neighbor. Let see if anyone rings my doorbell. Maybe I can make a Japanese square omelette for lunch yet.
