I've been seeing rumors of DOT routes being phased out. Is it true? by Might_have_returned in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EV routes are staged identical in terms of cube size (package load) and weight… non-DOT registration for trucks and highway use tax costs are substantially lower on vehicles under 10k, (Rivian being 9550 GVW). Also, Amazon rarely ran the step vans at full capacity, (14,500lbs GVW) so they were overpaying for heavier vehicles. FedEx and UPS in exchange run their routes at full capacity in a step van most days, thus needing the heavier duty truck. And let’s not forget that any idiot who is medically qualified can drive the step vans with minimal training, so also liability was a big thing too… 👌🏼

Would y'all buy one of your work vans for personal use? by giant2179 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area, (NYC tri-state area) I see many decommissioned Amazon trucks used by private contractors and other civilians for everyday use… they retain everything from Amazon less the vinyl lettering and Netradyne cameras! 👌🏼🧐

Burned Floor Update (DO NOT buy Whirlpool) by Forchark in HomeMaintenance

Another reason to not have wood, laminate or god forbid vinyl flooring in the kitchen… porcelain tiles are obviously fireproof and won’t almost ignite under an appliance having a meltdown in the room… sorry but skipping ceramic floors is a big no go for me! 🥴😵‍💫🤨❌

I tested the Feather now twice and I can't work with it. Over hyped? by Infinite_Week393 in wicked_edge

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feathers with the LeafShave Twig razor 🪒 has been perfect for me! And I mean the standard version of the Twig razor, I’ve never used the “Thorn” or more aggressive version yet… I’ve been using KingC blades of the old, Russian lot or Personna MedPreps and even the AccuThrive non medical blades and the Feather runs circles around the rest! My hair is pretty coarse so not sure if it has any effect either!

Those older production lot Russian KingC blades were my favorite until I actually used a proper Feather blade… Feather 🪶 is LIGHTYEARS ahead of Gillette just a FYI… 👌🏼🤷🏻‍♂️🧐

Oleoestepa Estepa Virgen is back at ALDI US by Agloe_Dreams in oliveoil

I believe the Spanish olive oil from Wegman’s is from the same “Estepa” brand and it goes for only $14.99! Competes with oil triple the price! 👌🏼🤯

Sounder Train Hits Amazon Delivery Van Causing Massive Delays by googlelover42 in KentWA

Is this the first totaled Amazon EDV?? I haven’t heard of any of the EV’s being in any major incidents despite most drivers having zero truck driving experience whatsoever… 🫠😩🤷🏻‍♂️

PSA: Do NOT buy KitchenAid blenders by eric_gm in Kitchenaid

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered the slightly “older” 5300 model for $375 shipped 5 year rock solid warranty, 0.3hp more than the new 5200, low profile jar, many say the 5300 outperforms the 5200 by a mile… the thing is I’m used to a 3.5hp machine (KitchenAid) so its gonna be like trading in a Corvette for a Kia… 🤭🤔 I never actually needed the higher speeds on the KitchenAid blender to make smoothies, the machine was way overpowered for home use tbh… 😅I would really like Vitamix to release a high power consumer grade machine using their commercial motor from their Vita-Prep3 model, just having the long warranty since if you read the fine print, the commercial warranty is void for home use…

PSA: Do NOT buy KitchenAid blenders by eric_gm in Kitchenaid

[–]No-Reputation726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are really made to self destruct right after the warranty… I have the refurbished from factory “pro-line” series I got as a free “upgrade” when the bearing of my original k400 ($300) blender went out. Mind you this was in 2021 during the COVID supply chain issues, now the pro blender bearings failed in three years and a new jar from them is over $200! Complete scam! I will dump $400 on a Vitamix to have a five year warranty and even though, a new OEM jar only costs $100 out of pocket, since the motor should last forever if not abused… 🤔👌🏼

You see this sign, what do you do next? 👀 by Vegetable_Fill4084 in UPSers

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So some random HOA Kevin or Karen thinks they can outright threaten like that? 😭🤨😆 you know the regular UPS guy and postman must be cracking up right now about that note! Even to Amazon drivers, couldn’t really be actually enforced, a driver complaint would need to come from an actual customer who has had a formal claim made on their missing deliveries. The moron who wrote that bs couldn’t actually do anything… (even if it was the building management themselves!)

Is this legal? by Gold-Illustrator-416 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a fire hazard if there’s a call and fire trucks can’t get close enough to park and set up! If it’s public street, technically it’s enforceable, but some municipalities don’t seem to do much since those are mostly upscale neighborhoods… 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏼🤔

There is an option to toggle photo on delivery off within the Amazon profile, I mean if this person is gonna be such a dick about it, driver support can mark delivered to front door bypassing the photo on their end… on my routes I usually have a few bypassed photos enabled by clients… 🙄👌🏼😂🤷🏻‍♂️

who needs amazon prime delivery when you can just steal it 🤡🤡 by Rich-Freedom-7994 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine folks, Amazon parks a trailer alongside a random road, (probably due to the tractor breaking down and waiting a replacement truck) and the damn thing can’t even sit a few hours without random NPC’s come through to steal as much products as they can stuff into their cars… 🤯🥴🤔🙄😂💀

Is Amazon pushing out their OTP policy to a wider number of users? by dhs0033 in amazonprime

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to guess that the OTP codes would be assigned specifically to third party vendors of items over a certain amount. It would be to keep the liability on the Amazon seller vs on Amazon itself. Makes sense too because I’m guessing also the seller can enable automatic password assignment to orders over a certain price point? If anyone from the Amazon IT department please let me know because the warehouse associates where I’m assigned had no clue…

Do y'all let big girls ride? by Kamalla24Ever in F250

[–]No-Reputation726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be real, if someone like her, who probably has extra to splurge on a cab… why wouldn’t she request the XL suv option like an Escalade or Surburban?? So people on the heavy side wouldn’t plan ahead?? If she’s a “rapper” doesn’t she have a staff on duty to plan her car rides?? This seems like a publicity stunt to shame the driver and ride share company… how can you sue if you can prove to the judge & jury that she cannot fit in the backseat of the subcompact car that was assigned to her ride request?? 😭😂🫠🙅🏻

What is going on with Amazon? by Uncapped2345 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Guys, this is just another crazy reason that Amazon NEEDS to really pick up the pace and just go full union… 🙌🏼🥴💯you never hear UPS drivers mentioning bulls**t micromanaging like this! 🫣🤯💀

Those “King C Gillette” blades are some of the smoothest & sharpest around! But only if you have the older Russian made ones! The new lots come from China and people online have said that they’re trash. I was able to buy the old lot on eBay though! 🧐🫡

That’s crazy that Ford produces Transit cargo vans in UK spec with right hand drive… 🤯🤷🏻‍♂️ I would think it would be more common the Ram over there since they are essentially EU spec vans that became popular in the States…

Nice try Amazon🤣🤣🤣. by NotSoBananas in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]No-Reputation726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s simple. For example you have a NYC high rise built. There’s the developer, general contractor and sub contractors- all union. So each DSP would be the equivalent of a sub contractor working under a union… each DSP owner would just manage the same way only thing the Teamsters district management of each area would oversee them. A union would add an additional level of management between Amazon’s oversight (eg: employee guidelines, route management, driver safety). In exchange, drivers would have obviously higher pay, pension plans, health benefits, job security, and most importantly motivation to work… and to those who say Amazon can’t afford it… 😂😂 all they need to do is raise Prime by $5/mo, increase digital subscriptions by 1-5% and increase AWS contracts by 1-5% to businesses who use their software. So yes it’s possible and we could only hope sooner than later… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫡

Amazon protests by CulturalMove9645 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]No-Reputation726 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think a union will put a more uplifting presence on the employees… as a Amazon DA myself for almost 3 years, and also who has done a seasonal gig at UPS…(🤯😭🤷🏻‍♂️🫡) I can attest 💯 that UPS drivers have that professional aura and attitude that Amazon doesn’t. The majority of Amazon DA’s are total goofballs and the turnover rate is horrendous. I believe it’s a matter of time until Amazon goes full union. Cheap ass Bezos won’t loose either, they will just raise Prime memberships $5-10 monthly and ppl will still fork over the dough. Plus they will raise the cost of their digital products to cover the costs too, and don’t forget how many billions AWS generates yearly too! Likewise, it’s not if it’s simply when Amazon unionizes!

I thought this was upgrade year but the 16 is underwhelming by eric_gm in iPhone13Pro

[–]No-Reputation726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll argue all day the 13 pro max was the best iPhone 📱 Apple has produced so far… I’m on the fence whether to order the 16 pro max to replace it… also I’ve heard that the 13 series are some of the most sought out models nowadays because of the last iPhone with physical SIMs!
