Amazon.com - AMZL Shipping? What a joke.
I'm fairly sure that AMZL is just their branding for the same regional last mile services they have always used, such as Lasership.

I've been getting my Amazon stuff delivered by a guy in his private hooptie, but I get it when they say I will. Two days. No problem for me.

At least mine showed up the 2nd day so I can't complain too much.

My packages were delivered by the same guy. He either gets around or there are a lot of shady guys with beat up minivans.

I had several problems in a row a few months ago but it seems they have smoothed out recently. Everything I have ordered came on time lately.

I do hate the demise of the brick and mortar stores but a lot of them did it to themselves. I am not going to pay 5-10 times the amount for an overpriced version of a product when I can go on Amazon and get a fairly priced one in 2 days. And I don't mind driving to a store to get something except on many occasions I would get there and they would not have it, even when I had called or checked their inventory online prior to heading out.

I still do plenty of business as brick and mortar places when I can but most of my shopping is done online. I simply don't have the time to drive to 5 different places to get what I need and don't have the money to pay several times the online price.

Yeah, holy shit they were a terrible delivery company. Tried multiple times to deliver to my office at 8:30 or 9:30 at night...then would try again the next day, at the same time. I had to call lasership and complain before they actually attempted before COB. Roll Eyes


You can guarantee if LaserShit is delivering your packages,something's getting fucked up.

In my case 1)Delivered to a similar address - 50 miles away different town. 2) Chainsmoked in delivery van, so bad it completely destroyed the package and contents. 3) numerous lost packages.

LaserShit has a less than 25% success rate delivering packages to my house. Worst company I have ever dealt with.

Something is up with Amazon shipping in general lately. I had to call them tonight to get my money back for two items that just never came, nothing 3 weeks after prime 2 day delivery guarantee.

I buy a ton of stuff from Amazon and am a Prime Member. Luckily, I have never had any issues with packages delivered by AMZL. They have delivered on time, but it has made me suspicious when I see a dude pull up in a regular car and drop off my package. I do like the fact they take a photo of the delivery.

I guess I am lucky that so far I have not had any problems.

"AMZL" is similar to Uber. Local people, using their personal vehicles, are delivering packages.

Well, I had some more packages delivered today via AMZL. On time. I like that they deliver in the morning -- that's a benefit.

Still no wheelbarrow tire, though. Confused

A monkey on a unicycle is probably more reliable than Lasership.
