To feel guilty about ordering from Amazon three times in a week

[Viviennemary]

I just ordered something now I want something else. Not expensive stuff. But I think somebody has to deliver that and I should have done them all together, I've got Prime. It's an extravagance but quite handy. I haven't done my third order yet because of guilt!

Hell I do
Three times in one day sometimes!

They usually batch the deliveries together.

Well you’re keeping the delivery driver and warehouse people in jobs….

Huh? Are you bored and over thinking?

It's more irritating for the person having to wait in for them.

Unless you need the items immediately you can select ‘Amazon day delivery’ and they keep the items across a week for you and bring them together, or twice a week if that’s what you prefer. And you can set your ‘Amazon day’.

Why are you even questioning it?

Do you worry about getting letters via Royal Mail more than once a week?
Visiting a store more than once a week, after all you could have just brought everything in one go and then they wouldn't have had to scan your shopping more than once/restock the shelves twice?

Both I think!

My estate every day there's an amazon delivery van - so what ever I do they are still here - and often park up and walk to several houses.

Even if you do buy at same time and bunch together sometimes delays mean they still come in different deliveries.

Yes you should. You probably don't need whatever it is anyway. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Amazon are terrible employers and think of all the pollution caused by individual deliveries and packaging.

We are decorating - first time in 20 years! - so you can imagine our ordering at the moment. We got an email yesterday asking if we want to start a business account 😮

What? - I have multiple Amazon orders delivered often daily.

Me too the other day - both were things I could almost certainly have bought locally, but had mistakenly left them off an extensive list, and with so much Stuff going on I just couldn’t BA to go into town again.

I always think they're generally coming to my neighbour anyway so they might as well come to me too! But you can choose an amazon day and get it all delivered once per week if you don't actually need it next day.

If it helps you, you can take the view that it’s better for the environment to group them . Very few things we order are actually urgent, and can easily wait a few days.

Just order what you need, that’s why you have prime

If your stuff hasn't been delivered, they usually ask if you want to combine the delivery. There's attitudes towards certain employers on here, but people need those jobs and don't mind doing them.

Three times in a week? I've done more than that. Which reminds me, there's a little thing I needed to order for delivery tomorrow.

I keep getting emails saying do I want a business account.

No, I'm not a business.

I'm. Severely disabled and it's very inconvenient to go to shops.

I ordered. Don't feel so bad now!

I get Amazon deliveries nearly every day.
You get more choice on Amazon - far more choice than in physical shops, which often don't have what I want.

I order from Amazon at least three times a week. I try to group all my orders together. I also recycle the boxes that they come in which makes me feel a little better about it

This thread blows my mind. What are people buying that regularly requires multiple orders a week?!?

Have you tried getting some things locally. Even if you pay a little bit more.

Can you afford it or are you using things like Afterpay (or similar)?

Personally I don't see an issue, if you can afford it...

It seems they treat employees dreadfully so I rarely use amazon at all. Occasionally if there is some item I absolutely can't source elsewhere. I don't even find that what they sell is cheaper than elsewhere.
