70. No offense taken since...

Fri Apr 27, 2018, 11:48 AM

Apr 2018

I have never bought anything using Amazon Prime in my entire life of 78 years.

This item was bought on eBay and arrived in a large cardboard box and only name on the labels is "Amazon Prime". No labels present showing UPS or Fedex or USPS had anything to do with it. May be Amazon Prime uses some other delivery service, unknown to me.

My main complain is the delivery person left the package on 1st floor near the main entrance, and I live in a condo on 3rd floor. I would never have found that package since nothing was ever delivered to me near the building entrance.

The 3 services I use (UPS, Fedex or USPS) ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS leave packages at my front door on 3rd floor.

I am filing a complain with the vendor on eBay for arranging delivery through Amazon Prime.

No offense taken since... quartz007 Apr 2018 #70

Uh, you realize that people re-use Amazon packaging to reship things? Blue_Adept Apr 2018 #72

In this case, there are only 2 labels on the box quartz007 Apr 2018 #74

Again, if it was something you purchase on ebay, the vendor re-used an amazon prime box to ship it Blue_Adept Apr 2018 #75

I can easily agree it could be a re-used box quartz007 Apr 2018 #90

You orders from eBay and the seller there ordered it off Amazon. tammywammy Apr 2018 #93
