A buddy of mine drives for Amazon got mauled by a GSD in a nice neighborhood while out delivering in August of last year. Delivery instructions said deliver to the back porch, so he walks around just as the homeowner was letting the dog out.
Rear facing camera on the truck caught him trying to outrun the dog, falling, and getting his neck and half of his face tore into. His first call was to 911, second was dispatch, and the third was to his attorney. He basically owns that house now.  Pro tip guys: If you're expecting a package, maybe lock up your dog. |

My only problem with them is how they drive.
UPS and Fedex always back in, not Amazon. Then they just blindly back out onto a 55mph road. I've had several new misses. Some them just park in the road blocking one lane of a State highway. Other drive through front yard to turn around. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Amazon dude face planted on my front deck last week. He didn’t use the handrail going up the steps, he instead came at the stairs from the side. Broke two boards and fell on his face. Camera recorded every bit of it. He finally stood up, cussed the stairs and waddled off. I laughed extra hard.  turn it into a GIF.

My personal experience has been 100% opposite.
The UPS guy might be dressed like - well - a UPS guy. But that doesn't stop him or his peeps from damaging/losing/destroying pretty much every package we've received in the last 12 months. Amazon drivers have, with very few exceptions, all been courteous, kind, and most importantly - our packages don't look like they fell off a trailer. The Fedex guy dresses like a blood, scouls at me for no reason, has the loudest stereo of any of them, and listens to 'hate whitey' tunes. But he still gets the job done. |

My sister who lives next door is always getting a parade of Amazon, Fed Ex, and UPS trucks dropping stuff off. I've nothced Fed EX drivers getting by with just a shirt or sometimes a vest while the Amazon drivers all look like Joe Shit the rag man. I think I've only seen one one actually wearing some semblance of a uniform. The OP is right, they're always blasting that damn rap music. They are also crummy drivers. Since we share a common drive they're always coming within a hair's bredth of backing into our car. I will agree delivery work is a pretty crappy job (having worked for FedEX one Christmas season) but these guys are bottom of the barrel.

strictly a ghetto amazon driver thing. amazon van pulls up the other day: rolls down windows (if they weren’t already) and proceeds to walk across parking lot and up the stairs to our place, possibly head bobbing the whole time. i could clearly hear the music downstairs in the parking lot over the sound from my TV.

I can't think of a single job as a kid where the boss didn't provide 3 or 4 pairs of pants and the same for shirts, the ones with your name in the white oval with the red border. That would include working in gas stations pumping gas and changing oil as well as a machine shop running a manual lathe. |

Amazon doesn’t deliver to me because I’m out of their zone (fedex/usps/ups does ours)
But Amazon does deliver to my parents. Mostly young black females that have always been very polite and apparently have never been on a farm as they are always amazed. The last one was a guy probably in his 30’s. He was listening to a podcast when he drove up but he delivered our chainsaw blades so what do I care? |

Previously I got my Amazon packages through USPS, I was fine with that. They opened a new warehouse in a city near me and they hired drivers. I live in the Blue Ridge foothills and the lazyass drivers are claiming the roads are too dangerous to drive. This is in spite of the fact that UPS and FEDEX are here making deliveries every day. I looked back at my orders and I've had only one in the past 45 days delivered in their advertised time-frame.

They were treated and compensated well enough that they took pride in their work. If you give mediocre pay, and treat them like pack mules you aren’t going to get a workforce that cares about doing more than the bare minimum. At my old job I got into it with my bosses several times about low level employees not seeming to care. I’d ask them straight up “why *should* they care?” And the only response was basically “you gotta work hard so the company does well!”. They didn’t understand that 18 year old kids working part time jobs don’t give two fucks about the year end finances of a corporation. |

When Amazon started their delivery service, it was incredibly bad for me. Their guys were chucking packages out on my lawn, shoving shit into the mailbox that didn't fit in the mailbox, constantly leaving me packages that were for other addresses, constant problems. I started putting in some complaints online and someone did end up getting in touch with me and things got better. Not as good as UPS or Fedex, but better. Then the other day Amazon sent a legit 10/10 hottie delivery driver, with a unique accent and everything. Put it this way, she was so hot and so out of place that for a moment I thought she must be an undercover FBI agent or something and I shouldn't accept these packages. But no cops popped out and it was just the regular stuff I ordered. I don't know if they sent her to me to resolve my complaints, but if they did it worked because I am now ordering random trinkets from Amazon every day hoping to one day see my angel again.
