Amazon Prime Bags at our Door

 

Monday evening an Amazon package arrived that I had ordered the previous week.  Sadly however there were four more bags labeled Prime and full of food that we had not ordered.  There were no clear addresses on the bags.  I tried to contact Amazon via their website but got no way to communicate with anyone.  I called Whole Foods and they said it was out of their hands.  Jim googled Amazon customer service phone number and came up with someone to call.  With a short wait, we talked to a real person who had no answers either except that someone else would get a refund.  

I put a notice on Next Door Digest and one person said she would check if an order was missing.  I heard no more from her and no one came by to pick up food.  Jim brought the food in lest animals get at it.  We refrigerated the perishables.  So there is nothing to do with all that food except to enjoy it I guess!

Last night Jim had the spaghetti and meat balls deli meal and we both enjoyed a half corn muffin.  Tonight we will have the expensive ($16.09) pork loin and more of the muffins.  I don’t know that we are eager to eat spicy dumplings or some of the frozen meals.  I emailed the pantry at our church (Arm in Arm)  and they will take the plantain snacks.  I will see if they will take refrigerated or frozen foods too. (They did and we dropped off several frozen meals, milk, cheese and half in half)

Eboni, our leasing manager here at Barclay Square, says this happens more often.  She didn’t know of anyone who was missing food.  I was hoping Amazon could track down the driver and send him or her back to correct the error.  I think someone was tired at 8:00 pm and didn’t want to find any more places in the dark so the food was just dumped with us.  The whole experience was frustrating and sad in that someone or maybe several families did not get the food they ordered.
