When you factor in the double-digit percentage of those packages that contain damaged contents, contents that will be returned for myriad other reasons, or simply the wrong contents altogether, we're truly living in the most cartoonishly inefficient moment in human history. And yet we're constantly patting ourselves on the back for how awesomesauce it is.


Just chuck it on the huge pile of absolute garbage out back. It’s fine.

Amazon Canada has announced it is rolling out faster Same-Day Delivery options for Prime members in select regions across Canada. Same-Day deliveries are expected to arrive as early as seven hours after being placed.

 

The company states that Prime members in the Greater Toronto Area, Southwestern Ontario and Metro Vancouver are receiving the new benefit. After placing the order, Prime members can expect faster shipments to be delivered. On top of that, members within these areas will have access to a new overnight delivery option.

 

Amazon Canada states that orders placed by midnight will arrive “by the next morning.” This assures that last-minute needs or forgotten orders can be placed before bed and will arrive shortly thereafter.

 

The new overnight delivery method allows customers to choose delivery windows between 4 am to 8 am or 7 am to 11 am.

I ordered a neck-tie last week.  And received a large cat litter scoop.

 

That's the biggest f-up I've ever had.

We’ve had neighbours bring us our parcels a few times.
Always opened first lol. I guess the copper grease and turbo gaskets weren’t of much use.

It's pretty amazing how fast they can get stuff out in the US, I ordered a garden hose around dinner time and it was at my door the next morning before breakfast.

I ordered two items last week and they arrived same day to salt spring. Pretty crazy.

We recently started getting the Dragonfly delivery drivers here. No idea how they got it here so quick.

If you order enough maybe they’ll build a fulfillment centre on SSI. That would go over well with the locals!

There’s a reason Dragonfly comes over now.

Is Dragonfly just a rebrand of one of the previous delivery companies?

Yes, it's some derivative/re-brand of Intellecom, although Intellecom is apparently still around in some form as I had something delivered by them a few days ago.

Not sure if it was because I'm a Prime member, or just because I've ordered a bunch of stuff off Amazon, but Intellecom sent out a big flashy email a couple of months ago announcing the re-brand.

I have some items coming today and it says 8pm to 1am.  I've never seen it past 10pm before.

 

I actully think they would make much better time delivering overnight.  Although it might be much harder to see house addresses.
