Mistakes Happen

On Tuesday my most recent Amazon purchases turned up on the wrong doorstep. Fortunate for me, I recognized the porch next door and retrieved my packages.

Unfortunately, I gave the delivery service a thumbs down without thinking and before going out looking. I wrongfully thought it could be reneged. I don’t want a hard working person to get into trouble. And their work is genuinely appreciated.

Do you think there’s any hope this Amazon employee won’t be reprimanded?

  1. You gave the right thumbs down. He/she delivered it to the wrong address. I know they work hard, but being careful is a must.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend. Hugs. ♥

  2. I had that happen once, I saw my package on the porch of a neighbor. But yeah, it was delivered to the wrong place, so the thumbs down was warranted. I know, hard working delivery people shouldn't get dinged for minor errors.

  3. You did the right thing. I have never ordered online but a few of my neighbours in my apartment building have ordered from Amazon. Here in Montreal, I can speak for my building, when the Amazon driver comes with a package, he doesn't even ring the bell, he just places it on the floor between the entrance door and the inside security door. As a result the package has been stolen.

  5. They do have their pay deducted for mistakes. Here some are good and some are not.

    1. We've never had an issue before, so I hope this driver didn't suffer much. Be well, my dear.

  6. The person made a mistake, so thumbs down, as long as your home is clearly numbered.

  7. Glad you got your package. Don't feel too bad, the person did make a mistake. XO

  8. Am thinking that the thumbs up or down is a tally kept by the company to lump into digits presented to management in a graphy once a quarter, and that the delivery individuals never see or know them.
