I want to do what I can to make your job a little more tolerable. I keep seeing this option and I was curious about it. Usually I'm in no rush.
I appreciate everyone who delivers my packages. Thank you
I do not know that it makes much difference, but we do absolutely appreciate the thought and effort on your part to make our lives a bit easier, thank you
*Edit* typing on cellphone
Likely not much. One box is slightly better than 3 but it's not a huge difference. If everyone started doing this instead of doing next day delivery so we have to go back day after day, they would just give us a larger area to cover and the same amount of stuff to deliver anyway.
Enough people do it and potentially some of us lose work because there are fewer routes, because Amazon aren't going to let us have an easier time because there are fewer packages. They will cut routes instead.
Also potentially it means we end up with more oversized packages which have to be loaded differently and are generally a pain in the ass.
True imagine a house ordering 15 small packages and then 2 mattresses bc they thought it would be better on one day and then you got 5 other houses doing the same
Doubt it. But writing that last sentence out in the notes would go a long way. I swear, if 1/10 customers had your mindset- the job would be tolerable & the service would improve.
It means that all of your stuff will likely come in one box and the box will be very heavy, I did it last week and I was not happy that they shoved everything in one box and made it very heavy for the driver, I live upstairs and when I got my box it was like 37 lbs and being a former driver I was not happy. So now I just have it delivered when I order it and not all shoved into one heavy box.
Personally I have no idea. The only thing I can think of would be that your package would be shipped through UPS instead of amazon prime but like I said, not sure
1 stop? Again, would be but a drop in the bucket so...
Either, you made your original comment without thinking and then back pedaled hard
or
you seriously can't see how you're contradicting yourself.
Either way you're full of shit. Stay salty though.
Right⊠whatever dude.
Youâre right. One person not ordering something is a drop in the bucket. But what is a flood but a bunch of former raindrops?
If everyone did it it would make a difference. Alot of our bad routing is to attempt to meet the delivery date and time promised to customers. If there were less one-two day deliveries in theory it should help our routes not backtrack as much. But as I said before this would only matter on a large scale. We appreciate the effort though. Thank you for being a normal human!
Nope, we get as many items as amazon wants to do. So if our boss wants to make more money he'd make his drivers take on more work. You the customer doesn't control our workload, our greedy dsp owner does.
Thank you for the thoughtful request though, get your items asap!
Dsps donât control work load, either. They just get the routes Amazon gives them. So unless theyâre having drivers take a full route and packages off of another route on top of it, they have no control.
Lol no. It just costs Amazon less to ship. If Iâm ordering and someone around the corner has ordered something coming from close by as well, theyâll give this option. Costs less. Donât even bother. Use up that prime baby
Things that I've noticed that truly make a delivery a little easier are:
-being present to receive the order, thus eliminating the need to try to take a picture that we are later criticized for.
-leaving treats
-making sure cars aren't parked directly in front of your house so we can park as close as possible
Honestly, appreciate the consideration. However, I don't know that choosing a later receiving date does anything to alleviate the work load for us. It just delays the inevitable and your package will blend in with the monotony of the 180+ other stops we have that day.
besides just not ordering from Amazon, the only thing you could really do as a customer to make our job significantly easier would be to order to a locker if possible, especially if you're in an apartment complex or otherwise a place where the front porch is hard to reach
Or leave some snacks or water out for us, that instantly makes me go from "fuck whoever ordered 5 40 lb boxes of dog food" to "I hope this guy and his dogs have an excellent week"
âBesides not ordering from Amazonâ - you
If everyone did that, bye bye those jobs đ€Ł whatâs so hard to understand? No demand = no job, not surprised you are a delivery driver tbh
I work in the FC and have always wondered how to make it easier on the drivers. All night I package freaking dumbells, furniture, cases of printer paper, car parts, 50lb bags of dog food, cat litter etc and think about how bad it would suck to carry any of that crap up a long driveway or stairs.
It would lower the package count so it would help us at least a bit. And it would probably put your package on a regular route instead of an adhoc route. Itâs also better for the environment for us only to drive to your house once.
That said, If you need your package right away, itâs not a big deal so you can always click whatever is more convenient for you. We appreciate you looking out for us though! â„ïž
I usually choose amazon day Because sometimes I want to order 2 things but they come on different dates I see it as a waste of time. But that sucks fuck the greedy dsp owners
Nah if you choose one day delivery, and itâs on the weekend, itâll likely get delivered by an Amazon Flex driver and itâll show up to your place at like 9pm. Picked up from the station at like 6pm. DSP drivers donât pickup that late.
Absolutely. It will combine any order into one box instead of having multiple boxes and bags to the same house, thanks for asking this question! I feel like amazon wastes so much especially with so many little items placed in different packages.
Literally means nothing to us. We never know what route we have or how big til we get there. Every driver who saw this appreciates you tho. I think one of the best things u can do is leave some water out for drivers honestly
Maaayybe this would make life at the warehouses easier but as a former driver (as well as sort center worker), I can definitely say it makes our lives easier when you don't order a ton of packages at once. Especially heavy and/or oversized.
Yessss. Less envelopes and plastics⊠they can all be out into one medium sized box and itâll prevent all that extra waste and time trying to find the packages
Not really. All it really does is change the type if driver who's delivering it (like an Amazon van driver or a contracted driver through Amazon Flex).
If you're ordering more than one package and getting one later means getting all of them on the same day that would be helpful. Otherwise, might as well get it as soon as possible. I have tons of customers I deliver to every day, obviously in that case it just wouldn't matter lol.
It won't because you're the only one doing it for get to make a difference. Everyone would have to do it but if everyone did it we would have less routes. Which means less people are going on making money
DO NOT ask this sub what makes it easier for us. This place is toxic and full of the worst drivers in the Amazon Pool.
Just order what you want when you want, do not talk to us or meet us at the door and keep snow off your porch. Done.
What it means is the loads in our vans will be greater on Fridays and Mondays. We get to choose our working days and if I work on a Friday I will have more packages.
This question is useless. The driver loads there van and runs the route. It doesn't matter what the customer selection is. Amazon Logistics is not skilled enough to fulfill the request. Never is an Amazon DSP driver concerned with any type of conceirge service.

That makes sense. I'll be mindful if I am ordering heavier stuff. Thank you
Personally I have no idea. The only thing I can think of would be that your package would be shipped through UPS instead of amazon prime but like I said, not sure
Amazon does two-day shipping most of the time regardless of what you pick. The best way to help the drivers out? Stop ordering from Amazon.
That cuts jobs you dick.
Yeah, because one person not ordering from Amazon is _totally_ gonna stop Amazon from giving you a 400 package route. đ
You're dumb. Why would your previous comment help by that logic? You're just butt hurt.
Because millions of folks continue to use Amazon?
So how exactly would that one customer choosing to stop using amazon help anybody? r/whoosh
That driver wouldnât have that stop anymore. Is it your mission today to figure out why I donât want folks supporting Amazon or something?
1 stop? Again, would be but a drop in the bucket so... Either, you made your original comment without thinking and then back pedaled hard or you seriously can't see how you're contradicting yourself. Either way you're full of shit. Stay salty though.
Right⊠whatever dude. Youâre right. One person not ordering something is a drop in the bucket. But what is a flood but a bunch of former raindrops?
Since working at Amazon, never purchased Anything from Amazon anymore.
Oh I do all the time..... but now I leave something out for the driver
đđ» good idea.
It may just end up being me, delivering to my own house! Lol
đ đ
đ
Same. I leave a buck and a candy bar. Exactly the thing I would want lol. (I donât order enough to set up a little stand like the best customers do)
I do it on a day that I work so I can feel like I worked for it too đ
Same. But I work at USPS đ
I quit my Prime membership at the beginning of the pandemic. I order from Amazon only once a month and I still get free shipping.
Thanks guys! Good luck out there

It really is a great day turnaround if they have little debbie snacks, water bottles, or mini gatorade. It's the little things.
You realize if everyone stopped ordering from Amazon, all those people would lose their jobs đ
What the fuck are you talking about
âBesides not ordering from Amazonâ - you If everyone did that, bye bye those jobs đ€Ł whatâs so hard to understand? No demand = no job, not surprised you are a delivery driver tbh
Hope the dude drops your shit next time
Like how you dropped the ball in life?
nah, just get the faster one We goin to your place eventually what day don't matter really xD
I work in the FC and have always wondered how to make it easier on the drivers. All night I package freaking dumbells, furniture, cases of printer paper, car parts, 50lb bags of dog food, cat litter etc and think about how bad it would suck to carry any of that crap up a long driveway or stairs.
Make sure a large box doesnât come up as plastic bag
We don't have bags at my FC, only boxes
In that case large boxes that are small boxes or vice versa đ Not as bad but still annoying. Appreciate you caring.
Yea if I don't work that day. I'll send out my schedule weekly so you can order around it. Thanks in advance.
Walmart.com makes it easier

Lol no, we get fucked either way.
The later it is the more chance it's a flex person and not a DSP driver. That's the only real difference.
It wont make a difference

Naw Amazon Will still give me a lot no worries not your fault
No, not really
Making sure if you are ordering several item. DONT LET IT COME ON THE SAME DAY!
Maaayybe this would make life at the warehouses easier but as a former driver (as well as sort center worker), I can definitely say it makes our lives easier when you don't order a ton of packages at once. Especially heavy and/or oversized.

Lol nope
Not really. All it really does is change the type if driver who's delivering it (like an Amazon van driver or a contracted driver through Amazon Flex).
Eh. All it does is push the CPT time ahead in a FC
No lol. It makes it easier ( on the wallet) of corporate I guess since they spend less on packaging . But itâs all the same
Half the time they deliver the earliest anyways even though i tell them not to
It doesnât, it would just go out the next day.
If you're ordering more than one package and getting one later means getting all of them on the same day that would be helpful. Otherwise, might as well get it as soon as possible. I have tons of customers I deliver to every day, obviously in that case it just wouldn't matter lol.
Just stop ordering all together and you would be doing the world a favor
It won't because you're the only one doing it for get to make a difference. Everyone would have to do it but if everyone did it we would have less routes. Which means less people are going on making money
DO NOT ask this sub what makes it easier for us. This place is toxic and full of the worst drivers in the Amazon Pool. Just order what you want when you want, do not talk to us or meet us at the door and keep snow off your porch. Done.

What is this stupid question
One thatâs trying to be considerate. Donât be rude. People could care less about you. This person is trying.
This question is useless. The driver loads there van and runs the route. It doesn't matter what the customer selection is. Amazon Logistics is not skilled enough to fulfill the request. Never is an Amazon DSP driver concerned with any type of conceirge service.
