I made a 1,300 dollar purchase on Amazon last month and it was not delivered although the shipper said it was delivered. I live in an apartment complex and it was left on the doorstep according to UPS. UPS would not take care of me because they "delivered it". Amazon also notified me that they have no control, or say in signature required when I asked them to send all further shipments this way.

I always trusted Amazon, and while it is true they did EVENTUALLY refund my money, I had to jump through a lot of hoops and bullshit to do it, it took me about two weeks to get my damn money back, or for them to offer a replacement, now I'm getting threatening letters from them stating that they will close my acct if I continue to fail to adhere to their policies. After a lot of searching, I finally had to e-mail them back in reference to exactly what they mean by me "failing to adhere to their policies" in which I received this

"RISK OF LOSS

All items purchased from Amazon are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier."

So just a warning, while Amazon did take care of me, I expected better customer service, and will not be ordering online again as it sounds like they're shirking responsibility. If I order something, i want it delivered. So just a warning to anyone out there, Amazon seems to be taking a 180 degree turn on customer service.

I live in an apartment.  When I get high dollar shipments I request that UPS hold my order at their pickup center.

You had a $1300 package sent to your apartment complex without signature required?   I'd drop your ass as a future customer in a heartbeat.

This sounds like a third party seller...Not fulfilled or sold by Amazon. Clarify this.

Don't have expensive shipments sent to your apt.  Get a cheap ass mail box at the local UPS store and have them accept your high dollar shipments.

Amazon didn't blindly refund your money because they are constantly getting people attempting fraud like this.  They are also not responsible for stuff getting stolen off of your doorstep.

You live in an apartment.  Why would you not request a delivery exception with UPS and have them hold it for pickup if you couldn't be there for delivery.

They said they do not have control over shipments, and that it is the sole responsibility of the carrier. I reckon I could have asked them to hold it at the pickup center, but as far as signature required, I have no say in that.

It was also not a third party, but indeed sold and shipped from Amazon.com.

Set up a UPS online account and hold packages online.  No need to go there to do it.  Also get really fucking creeped out by how much they know about you.

I had pallets of ammo delivered to me when I lived in an Apt. Signature always required. UPS man hated me. Sometimes, he'd dump and run without a sig. I never fucked them, but I could have. Experience: That thing we need when we don't have it.


wtf, OP?

So it too two weeks to get a $1,300 refund? Mother of god, cry me a river. You had to dig for the correct email? Oh the horror.

Have you ever tried to file a claim with USPS or UPS? Damn dude. Amazon is pretty damn good if you asked me based on what happened to you.

It's called UPS mobile.  I get notifications on my phone and computer.  Can have shipment held or delivered another day.  I know exactly the day the package is coming.  Can do the same with Fedex.  Set up you account and get things when you can be there or pick them up at the hub.  

I don't blame Amazon one bit for giving you the run around.  The neighbor went through the same thing.  He had a package stolen/lost that UPS finally paid for .  UPS now requires him the sign for all deliveries period.  

I hate it when Amazon send things via US mail but that is very limited.

When I lived in apartment, all of our package mail was delivered to the main office and kept in their locked closet.
The manager was very nice and courteous. I met her like 2 times during my 2 year stay. I never had to tell her who I was and what apartment I was in.

Every time I walked in, she would hand me my stuff before I even said a word




If it was after-hours, there was a local cop who lived there. He could grab the package for you. He once delivered it to me 10 miles down the road, but of course, on the city dime

I wonder how many of you would be singing a different tune if it was an item from the EE that you paid for that was never delivered

Ive had the same exact thing happen to me as OP. Call me whatever you want, but when I pay for something I expect for it to get here. Why should OP eat $1300 for someone elses mistake?

Always pay with a credit card so you can dispute it if you do not get your item.

Any item I've purchased from Amazon for close to that amount has been sent signature required.

The fuck are you babbling about?

Amazon fulfilled its obligation when the package was picked up by the carrier. Amazon, being the awesome company that it is, refunded the guy out of pocket, and is going to fight with the carrier about a refund.
The package was lost or stolen from his doorstep, or from the carriers truck.

His only fucking gripe that's halfway legit is that they didn't do it all fast enough for him.

Do they let use choose the carrier and terms of shipment? Did you specify "signature not required" for the purchase?

Regardless of their policies, I wonder if that would really hold up if you ended up suing them.

As a third party seller Amazon considers you responsible for the item if the item is stolen after delivery. Requiring a signature is the only way for a seller to prove an item was delivered. Delivery confirmation/tracking is not enough.
