I must say, I wasn't the least bit surprised upon hearing the recent investigative report about Amazon on BBC Watchdog where prime delivery drivers are pilfering high value items from customers and Amazon is refusing to provide refunds.
Imagine this: you order an item of significant value from Amazon. Amazon then provides you with a one-time passcode, which you're instructed to give to the delivery driver upon receiving your package. However, some delivery drivers, recognizing these packages as high-value, reportedly open the packages and take the items inside. They then proceed to the recipient's residence, and upon receiving the passcode from the unsuspecting customer, they hand over an empty package and make their quick exit.
The unsuspecting customer, upon realizing the package is empty, complains to Amazon, but to no avail. Amazon will then use the excuse that because the customer provided the delivery driver with the passcode, they're assuming the customer was satisfied with the goods upon delivery. Thus, no refunds are given.
This scenario not only speaks volumes about the character of those who work at Amazon but also points to a lack of respect the company has for its customers. It's as if they're implying that their customers are deceptive when they claim they didn't receive their items. The whole concept of one-time passcodes seems less about protecting the customer and more about safeguarding the company.
In essence, it's the responsibility of Amazon to ensure goods are delivered securely and are not pilfered en route. However, Amazon seems to hold itself above consumer protection laws, behaving as though it can do whatever it wants due to its near-monopolistic control.
I encourage anyone who has had a similar disappointing experience with this company to share their stories. It's important that we protect each other from wrongdoings, especially when it seems the quality of products aren't even worth the trouble, as many are reportedly cheaply made goods from overseas.
Instead, let's focus on supporting our local small businesses. They are the backbone of our economy, and deserve our support far more than a greedy, tax-evading corporation. Remember, every pound we spend is a vote for the world we want to live in. Let's make our votes count. #Amazon #Boycott
