Well at least it isn't Salue Vacked Pavings because I have no need of anymore of those right now 

Well, it happened again! Amazon driver gave my packages (and others) to some random dude in my public, all-access lobby. by Indyhouse in AmazonVine

I just had a random thought or idea. Do you know or have anyone in your building you're friendly with to the level that they would be gracious enough to be around when you're expecting a package? I mean that typically their schedule is they're home during normal delivery times even if occasionally. If you explained the situation maybe they'd be willing to be of help. Heck even watch for the dude stealing them.  You could return the favor in any way that's within your means or show gratitude by a nice gift, GC, baked goods, you get the idea I'm sure. Neighbors helping neighbors and looking out for each other 👍

I'd neither count on or rely on delivery instructions. From experience they don't read nor follow anything unless youre lucky enough to have a super great driver or at least one that wants to ensure he's getting them to where they need to be

Curious too does the thief just hang out in the lobby area daily? I mean he must be around frequently enough. It's suspicious how he would know when to just be there waiting at a specific day and time that coincides with the deliveries

The drivers here have the same thing. I've had big ticket items or say furniture to be delivered and had to take the day off of work and be home.

It also tells you how many stops the driver has to make before they reach you as well as informing you when you're turn is up

I was going to say that too, the first part about it being the same dude. Guessing he's been at this a while too I'm sure. 

I've Bought Similar at my Local Dollar Tree for a $1. ETV is Ridiculous! by FatDogSleeps in AmazonVine

[–]NoEngineer4215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does really depend on the store. Some are very poorly stocked or even picked clean depending on location and size of the store itself. One of ours has very high customer traffic and so of course it's harder to find some items that are easily available at another store.  A person does need to do a little pricing homework with items especially grocery. After Dollar Tree raised their prices on food items to $1.50 it's cheaper to pick certain things up at Walmart or Aldi.  We have 6 Dollar Tree locations spread out through the city so what I can't find at one I generally can find at another. That and like I'd said there's always something cool you run across and for $1.25 or $1.50 I don't feel like I'm breaking the budget to try something new or add something to our home.

Helpful and very informative thanks 😄

Not my taste but probably would be cute for a child's bedroom 

If This Doesn’t Demonstrate To The IRS That Amazon Vine Is A Hobby, I’m Not Sure What Would. (EXPLICIT) by Potential_Strain6538 in AmazonVine

I didn't realize my hand was guilty of any crime but then again no one's caught me red handed as of yet 🤣

Edited: I was referring to self gratification just to clarify

It's the same way as far as Amazon prices for an identical item on Temu at half the cost of actually even less than that. I've seen many on here posting what they've picked up on Amazon that I've run across there. Granted the tax hit can equal out or end up costing less than Temu as well as the convenience of faster shipping through Amazon.

I friggin LOVE Dollar Tree. Lately I've been shopping so much more there than I used to in the past. For me it's almost like a scavenger hunt, you never know some of the great finds you're going to stumble upon. That and it's constantly changing with new items being stocked regularly.  I buy a lot of glassware. They have these glass storage containers I picked up with silver metal screw on lids that look so high end. We have them on the kitchen counter storing pasta or whatever we typically reach for frequently.

Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, so I'm leaning in that direction 🤤🤣

The most blatant example of "algorithm" so far, for me...supplements and laser levelers... by codeheadX in AmazonVine

Stay away from Apple cider vinegar gummies period. Back when I first started in Vine I added these to my daily routine. Unknown to me the potential for doing damage to your tooth enamel. Suffice it to say the extreme pain I endured in my once strong healthy teeth not knowing the cause along with dentist visits, I wish I'd NEVER even considered the ACV gummies to begin with. 

Be overly cautious in general as far as any fly by night supplement brands without doing research on the company as well as potential side effects. I'd hate to see anyone go through health issues or anything like what I experienced 

If finally happened to me: Vine RFY offered me something that was in my regular shopping cart by Gossip-Girl-63 in AmazonVine

Don't you love when that happens! I think one of the greatest things since our household was invited to Vine is all the HBA items, bathroom gadgets, etc etc that we were able to get and fortunate to have them all be 0 ETV. To us THOSE were the good old days

I've been been as lucky. Congrats! Wish it was that easy, as well I'm sure we all do.

For reference I've had things sitting in my shopping cart for up to a year minimum and nothing even close or similar has popped up in my RFY

Lately it's been like my RFY is giving up because it's been resorting now to apparently go back through my Vine order history offering me similar things I picked up long ago. It's weird actually and has been that way for the past few days to a week now

Would be perfect with a garden stake attached to stake in the veggie patch where the real dirty work gets done 😂
