Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Amazon

Cannot speak to the last mile consumer delivery. However, Grand Son-In-Law works for DHL in Hebron, KY. DHL is building a huge distribution center adjacent to CVG. Amazon is building an even bigger distribution center next to CVG. While Amazon is not DHL's only customer, DHL has a contract to guarantee Amazon a certain number of air cargo containers per day to ensure they can cover the volume.

My former office was on the approach to the long runway (36R?) at CVG. Early morning (6am - 8am) the Amazon cargo craft were continually lined up nose to tail on approach. Seemed like maybe only one in four craft were commercial....

I also use Amazon a bit because the closest store to my house NOT named "Piggly Wiggly" is 35 to 40 miles away. One way. I guess I'm used to sort of planning ahead and will order as need be. I rarely ever need something "right now" that I can't get at the Pig.

AA batteries or maybe a broken shoelace. Rest can be planned.

Our Amazon purchases are far up the last six weeks. A $300 book case and various tchotchkes for Momma. Three new fishing reels, two new rods, spools of braided line in 8#, 10#, 20#, and 30#, supplies for DIY Walleye spinners, a bunch of spinner lures, and terminal tackle for me. I ordered replacement parts for my SIL's aquarium filter which would have been impossible to find in any B&M store/

The fishing tackle I might have been able to find between Cabelas and Sportsman's Warehouse with four hours on the road and 10 gallons of gas.

Delivery? Sometimes UPS, sometimes USPS into the mailbox, occasionally Fed-Ex.

If you are buying from Amazon sign up for Amazon Smile and pick the organization you would like to donate to. All the hunting organizations are there (RMEF, F,DU and many more). It doesn't cost you any more to use it and the proceeds go where you want it to. Last year $58.00 was donated to the Ruffed Grouse Society in my name. It's not a lot but every bit helps and it didn't cost me anything extra.

Gun Owners Association - is on there too I believe.

Amazon a good place to buy many auto parts and cheaper too, especially for older vehicles. In a pinch I recently bought a 2 pack of plastic wheel well splash shield retainers at a local Auto Zone for $6.00 plus tax when I could have got a multi-pack of around a hundred assorted such fixtures for a little over twice what just the two piece pack alone cost at Auto Zone.

I buy from Amazon usually something every month. Some is significantly cheaper than local prices.

I am not spending money at Amazon
I am Making money off of them
For the past 2 1/2 weeks I have been working on Building upgrade for Amazon 10 miles from my home and have not missed a days work since the Pandemic Started
10 hour days and Saturdays.

I made an order to give them some money back but when they told me it would take over a month to get what I ordered I went to EBAY. I looked in 5 Local Stores before i went on line.

You oppose the business that keeps you working?

I'm not sure I follow.

It appears to be temporary job on improvement project for Amazone, therefore, he owes them nothing.

I get quite a bit of stuff from Amazon. I'm 10 miles outside of town. By the time I drive 20 miles, plus around town, waste several hours not finding what I'm looking for, I'm pretty pissed off. Amazon takes me a few days longer to get stuff delivered but it saves me a lot of stress. Now days if I go to the mall, it is just for the hell of going to the mall and wandering around, maybe finding something I didn't know I needed, but not truly shopping for anything. 'bout the only stores I truly LIKE to visit are gun stores / sporting goods stores.

I don't think he owes them anything either but how would it being temp work differ than him being FTE? Do the checks somehow cash differently?

I know you're a polak but Jesus Christ.

Try and contain it every now and again.

I'm the same - except my commute to town is longer/farther.

The one store I really find useless - Costco. Other than occasionally protein bars, I rarely go in there and find something I have to have or need. GF gets a free membership from her work otherwise I'd never go.

If it wasn’t for Amazon improving the facility he would be working. Are you that dumb?

ConseulO, did you mean that he would NOT be working ?

2nd question:
Are you also Polish with no polish?
