Amazon use shitty link now.

[Piglet]

Argh! The only reason I've been spending more with Amazon than I could pay elsewhere is that they didn't use Shitty Link.

Way to go to ruin a business. Use Shitty Link!

Dear Customer,

Greetings from Amazon.co.uk,

We are writing to let you know that the following item has been sent to:

Me

using City Link.

Your tracking number is AHSHITITSSHITTYLINK. You can use this number to track the
delivery status of your order online by visiting Your Account at

So: it'll be broken, lost or yet another "We called while you were out. Please spend the next hour and a half driving to collect your parcel from our shit-hole of a collection depot as we couldn't be bothered to ring the bell because were running a bit behind time and needed to meet our sla to be back at the depot" note stuck through the door.

i have amazon prime so usually use 'first class' so i uses royal mail.

Oh noes!! That's a terrible decision

The only way I'll use a company that uses shitty link is if they'll deliver to work, then the post room can sign for it; never had an order pretend to be delivered that way.

Arse cakes, that is utter crap. why would they do that?

[Zofo]

If you have problems with a courier company do what i do, arrange to collect it, quick phone call once you know its on the way is all you need, course I never had to travel far to get it so...

At least they actually reach your front door. When they ‘deliver’ to me they normally just throw a ‘missed you note’ at the car port doors at the back of the house as they drive past. W*nke*s.

Last amazon thing I had came from royal mail - it was a big full colour hardback starwars book a relative bought for son's birthday. It came in the standard amazon cardboard packing but wasn't shrink rapped.

The posty for some reason pushed it under the side gate that goes to our back garden but didn't leave a note. It then sat there for 2 days getting rained on till someone noticed

Its shit how they post books in those crap carboard wrap arounds.

City link

You just fancy the girl on the front desk of your local depot...

As the mrs pointed out to me we've always had exceptional delivery from Home Delivery Network when Amazon sent stuff through them - early delivery or leave it with the next door neighbour if we were out. It'd be a real shame if shittylink have won the contract by undercutting

[Piglet]

Royal mail, Home delivery network, or carrier pidgeon are all fine with me. Shitty-Link...no thanks. I'll just shop elsewhere.

City link suck. badly. I used them once for a return to base PC repair a few years back. They lost my PC and when they eventually found it and returned it 5 weeks later, it looked as if they had played a game of football with it. No compensation, nothing.

They are the last company i'd ever use to get anything transported. In fact, I'd rather not use them at all.

[Piglet]

Guess what. I got a card through the door today.....

Before I do any more orders online I'm going to check the courier service used and choose from the firms which do not use Shitty Link

I never had any issues with them. When my friend and I used to order from "Overclockers" they'd dispatch the items locally via City Link. And because OC only deliver to your home address (they're funny about that) we were always at work, so we left a note for the driver on his door with the work address (which is at the local industrial site, where he had to travel anyway) and he'd always try home first, then come along to our work with the goods. He was a nice chap, went out of his way.

Of course that's one delivery driver, not the company.
