Our son borrowed our truck to go get his daughter from college for summer. He called me all upset that a big dent is in the truck. Luckily the security cameras had the incident recorded. It was an Amazon prime truck that backed into the side and drove away!!

3rd party Amazon driver did that to my truck at 3am but it clearly did way more damage to his brand new Honda than my old 06 f350. He left parts of his taillight on my bumper and on the street. Literally just scratched my truck is all it did. Good thing I bullet proofed the ole girl.

All that room, and they needed to get that close.
Yep. It looks like he got lazy and parked perpendicular to the parking spaces for a quicker exit. Seconds count. LOL. Dumb on his part. He might be looking for a new job once they find out who the driver was.

They are among some of the poorest delivery drivers which I assume is due to lack of any quality training. There's also likely so much turnover that Amazon doesn't see the point in investing resources into teaching their drivers how to evaluate and make good decisions. Having been in the industry for 15+ years, I've got a critical eye for this sort of thing. From their terrible driving and parking to the awful, inefficient delivery methods, it's a good thing Amazon makes so much money because if things ever got tight, it wouldn't be tough to make up cost in the delivery end.

All of my Amazon drivers pull up blasting reggae music, slamming the brakes and not paying attention to a dam thing. I have 6 kids, two younger ones that play outside nearly all day.

My wife normally raises hell if I’m not home. lol. Problem is she the one that orders all this Amazon crap.

When I was driving truck and doing local delivery I would always bitch about the UPS guys. They didn't park, they would just stop in the middle of everything. If there was a dual spot concrete dock, the would park in the middle.

And her lawyer quickly found out he was out gunned by Amazon’s 10,000 lawyers.. Would love to know what she actually received.

I have been on the phone and Amazon customer service for hours trying to upload the video
I'm not surprised. The convenience of order "everything" is a huge plus, but their outsourced customer service SUCKS. I'm sure anyone who uses Amazon knows exactly what I'm saying. It's frustrating, but they're close to a market monopoly so complaining is useless.

It seems like every time my friend orders a larger big ticket item there’s an issue with something.
Either parts are missing or they send the wrong stuff or it’s damaged. They always make it right but I don’t have the patience to deal with them. Like this time he ordered a bike rack and hitch for his vehicle and it came with none of the hardware.
I’d just go to the physical stores and see if they can come close to matching the price with Amazon. If they can’t that’s all right too. I don’t buy very much from them anymore.
