So the Amazon plants that sprinkle the same recycled articles into the financial press (Motley Fool, I’m looking at you) to cheerlead Amazon’s shipping ventures and cast gloom onto FDX/UPS have made their way to APC. Amazon ALWAYS makes their deliveries (regardless of who’s actually delivering it)?? Laughable to point of absurdity. I’m ashamed to admit how many Amazon parcels show up at my house every week but let’s just say it gives me a good sample size from which to draw anecdotal evidence. I would estimate 60% make it on time, but often times by the hand of “some guy” in a street vehicle as late as 11:30pm. Another 35% are anywhere from a day to 5 days late (but Amazon almost always shows them as “delivered” in their tracker without indicating who is actually handling the parcel) and the remaining 5% disappear into the ether. When one talks in absolutes that his listeners immediately can disprove, well let’s just say that mars credibility. And OBTW, I live in a city of 5M+.
