Amazon delivery after 9 pm?

I really don't know whether I'm being unreasonable here - but as an Amazon Prime user I get next day delivery. Until this week, that's always been at a reasonable hour - maybe up to 7 pm, but no later - tonight, they turned up at 9.15 - at which point I was in the middle of complaining to their online chat people who were assuring me delivery would be before 10 pm. AIBU to think that most people don't want delivery people ringing the doorbell after, say, 7 pm?

I would far rather have had them apologise for a late delivery, and bring the stuff tomorrow, than be sitting here yawning my head off, desperate to go to bed, but unable to because I knew they were on their way and about to ring the bell. I don't have young kids in the house, but can imagine it might really piss off those who do!

This has never happened until this week, dunno if they're getting ready for the Xmas rush or something, but honestly, I don't want my delivery window to be open until 10 pm at night!

Please don't bother telling me IABU to use Amazon in the first place cos of their failure to pay tax etc. - I know that already :)

I dont think 7 is late at all. Tesco can deliver up til 11pm.

No need to be snarky with the driver either. They have a stressful job for poor pay.

Didn't see the date. MN feel free to delete my comments.

You’re being hugely unreasonable here

When you book next day delivery with Amazon prime, you’re not booking a specific time slot. With the sheer demand for next day delivery services, they have to plan their routes accordingly to deliver to everyone, unfortunately one area will receive their orders at 10am and people miles away will receive their orders at 10pm. This is absolutely fine and Amazon have not done anything wrong. They’re not running late, if that’s what you’re suggesting - they’re running on time to their own timescales, which you agreed to when you selected this delivery option.

As someone with a job, late deliveries are a godsend as I don’t have to faff around with getting neighbours to sign for things whilst I’m at my office. It also means I am eligible for same-day delivery, as these tend to be dispatched in the afternoon.

Also Amazon tend to leave most of my orders in my porch so they don’t go bang on my door violently or anything
