Its no delivery, its a transaction.

this is not a delivery service - it's curbside pickup.

oh, I didn't realize non-delivery was implied

Delivery is what happens if it’s not spam or abuse.

Unless you want delivery.

It seems you fundamentally misunderstand what a delivery is.

So it gets delivered. And it is cash-only. How does that work? COD? I assume someone must be there to accept the delivery anyway (as apposed to just leaving it at the door). So I guess you just pay the person delivering it?

The package in transit belongs to Amazon not to the addressee.

There's no explanation there, just a declaration without evidence, or much thought. For example, someone still needs to deliver the keys, and the vehicle itself, of your online order. UPS might be able to deliver the keys, the car itself, probably not.

Define "delivered" please

thisisit | karma 6946 | avg karma 3.27 · | 2017-10-27 10:00:39+00:00

Sure but the problem lies the exact definition of delivered. What does delivery mean here?

If you pay a deposit, isn't there an obligation to deliver?

In my experience it will be delivered and the sender will be politely asked to pay for it. They don't have to pay for it but it's rude not to.

As opposed to the promised and paid-for feature where the delivery isn't enshrined in law? What an altruistic company.

They didn't deliver the package. They did the opposite.

chuck8088 | karma 8 | avg karma 0.44 · | 2014-07-24 19:31:01+00:00

Just so you know, it's a 3rd party doing that delivery.

Is intentional "no delivery" a thing? It should be.

dredmorbius | karma 63069 | avg karma 2.05 · | 2019-08-18 08:55:28

It's not the delivery, it's the unboxing.

For a pick-up / package-hold service, the unboxing could be supervised. Delivery drivers aren't going to want to wait for recipients to remove packaging. And in many cases, the signer won't be the same person as the unboxer.

Why not proof of delivery?

chrismeller | karma 1967 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2019-02-05 15:21:23+00:00

Wait, what? So delivered doesn’t mean delivered... who thought this was acceptable UX?
