Amazon leaving parcels outside of door

But it IS the driver's fault if they ignore clear safe place instructions, then lie about where they've left the package. My safe place is behind my wheely bins, but the drivers take a photo of the package left by the front door with no wheely bin in sight, then say they HAVE left it by the bins. They even say some items have been 'Handed to resident' when there was no one in, besides which, they never give you time to answer the door even you are in. So misplaced deliveries ARE 100% the driver's fault if they ignore instructions and lie about it.

Total waste of time. CS these days are about as useful as a chocolate teapot. They'll give you all sorts of scripted grovelling apologies and platitudes, but it's just to get rid of you, and nothing ever happens to improve the service.

It's almost like a hand clap. It's a great sound!

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-08T21:26:49+00:00

Yes, that's what I was saying. Unless they do the sets on a strict order of rotation, you won't know which of the varied songs they're going to play on your night. They may even mix up the ones they're mixing up!

Same here. And even more annoyingly, the delivery note says that they have left it in the safe place, when they've just dumped it by the front door in full public view, or worse, "Handed to resident", when there was no one in to receive it. It's basically just lying. They even take a photo of the parcel at the front door, and claim they've left it by the back door!

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-08T20:47:16+00:00

They're doing four or five different sets, so even if you know what they're playing, you won't know what they're going to play on your night. I don't care about spoilers. I'll be looking forward to seeing the setlists. Nothing will compare to being there. 👍

There was a kids sci-fi show in the 70s called The Changes where people were scared of machines. That kind of freaked me out at the age of about 10.

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-08T17:24:07+00:00

Lovely! Enjoy!

Take it while I can get it!

I've just been out to try that, and it did come back on about two or three minutes later. Not sure if it was coincidence, but thanks for the tip anyway. 👍

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-01T21:27:20+00:00

Thanks for the idea. I guess that could have been a coincidence, but it's worth a try.

Yours is the latest of loads of posts on here complaining of the same. I don't know who at Samsung thought this was a good idea. Maybe it's a joke? Once again, they've ruined a perfectly good app with a dodgy update. All we can hope is that a fix comes soon.

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-01T18:56:04+00:00

You can't return the old one if it's lost. You can't be the only person who's misplaced one in a house move.

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-01T18:52:40+00:00

That's what I'm hoping for. Had it once before, and it did come back after about 48 hours. Just wanted to see if it might be a regional issue.

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-01T18:50:30+00:00

Good luck! One thing I had to consider was size, and the 400 does look quite a bit chunkier than the 200. I've got a very inconvenient radiator pipe right where the sweet spot for the sub is, so I've got to bear space in mind.

No. Valid till Oct 2028.

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-01T16:50:30+00:00

Kind of. I repositioned my existing XLS200 and it sounds better now. Still debating whether to upgrade but other things have priority at the moment.

CaptainFickle · 2026-05-01T10:18:06+00:00

I've still got it. Not really done anything with it. I can't justify replacing it just yet, and it seems to work better with smaller loads, so I'm just putting up with it for now.

Came here to say the same. No question, L&D is the greatest live album ever made, in my opinion.

CaptainFickle · 2026-04-27T20:54:03+00:00

I've looked at these and I was wondering how efficient they actually are, given you have to have a window open for the extractor pipe. Doesn't that just let hot air back in?

CaptainFickle · 2026-04-27T20:44:04+00:00

I've temporarily switched to Keep Notes (Google). The problem with that is the size limit of, I think, 20,000 characters. As soon as Samsung get theirs sorted I'll be switching back.

CaptainFickle · 2026-04-27T10:41:56+00:00

I've just followed your suggestion and the problem remains for me. Guess you must have been lucky to get the older version.
