One of the final nails in the coffin for me was when I tried to specify the delivery date to a day I would actually be in, and they completely ignored the instruction and delivered immediately. Like, I pay for that option, and you're not delivering the service.
I've also been getting free trials for Prime every so often, so I still get the benefits when I might need them (eg before Christmas). They did make it very hard to cancel, though, half the links didn't work and the instructions were out of date and didn't match the pages.
Was it an Amazon branded delivery truck? Sounds more like a shipping company fuck up if not
No idea whether or not it was a branded truck (it was a while ago), but it wasn't under any other sort of brand - Amazon deliveries are done by people employed by or directly contracted for Amazon.
All of my amazon packages come through UPS or the postal service. Not really sure how much interaction they actually have with Amazon
In the UK it's either Amazon vans or unmarked vans (eg a self employed person who is contracted by Amazon and uses their own vehicle).
