Did you know that Mozilla FireFox has a special message when you type about:robots in the nav bar and hit <enter>?

Looks like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/aufG0.png[^]

If you click that button that says [Try again] then it says ---
[Please do not press this button again] // which is an invitation to press again

Is it just me, or is Amazon messaging getting worse and worse?

I just had an email to say that two items I ordered on Tuesday would be delivered today! (It's 21:19 local time, BTW) That's not bad - I know they are extra busy what with the lockdown, so an extra day isn't too bad at all.

But ... the items were delivered around 7 hours ago ... and they track the drivers to within meters for every delivery, so they normally report delivery in minutes via email.

I do hope they aren't using AWS - that wouldn't look at all good for it's expansion capability, would it? Laugh | :laugh:

Slightly off topic, but...

Current circumstances aside, Amazon delivery is fairly good, but not as good as they think they are in my opinion.

Delivery slot? That will be between 7am and 10pm. DPD can text me in the morning to provide me with an estimated hour slot for their deliveries, which they have yet to miss. Amazon, how about a 3 hour slot which will help a bit?

"Amazon locker delivery will be made before 9pm". 8:55pm I get a text to say they will not be delivering today, just as I am pulling into the locker location.

...and the number of missed home deliveries (as in they fail to turn up) is countless. Yes, they usually extend prime for an extra month in return, but I have to contact them every time for this.

Rant over. Putting the kettle on...

It goes without saying
