My Amazon purchases have a better life than I do.

Not sure if I should post this in the vehicle electrification or this one but has anyone seen the Amazon Rivian vans? I'm not sure if they've made their way above the border yet?

Amazon tracking now tells me the item is back in Vancouver!
Maybe it's the brand new employees in the fulfillment center who haven't figured out the inventory management system yet?

I don't think drone delivery is ever going to take off (pun intended). Last mile delivery will likely continue to be humans driving vans. If their Amazon locker box idea catches on that would be a great logistic last mile optimizer. However, the majority of people aren't utilizing it.

Only ones I've seen are the typical Mercedes/Dodge/Ford ones, not Rivian. There is one driving around with a caved in side on the drivers side.
Also, I take back what I said about driver actions not being Amazon's problem. I've seen multiple issues in the last two weeks with these vans. These drivers seriously need better training.

Real world scenario training. We're talking Bezos here.

Before, drivers would use personal vehicles like small SUVs.
Know it all.

I don’t think a lot of these delivery people have ever driven a vehicle as long, let alone tall and wide.

Perhaps these drivers, but not the delivery companies that delivered Amazon packages prior to this. They all used similar large vans.

I was in the garage the other day and an Infiniti pulled up, and the guy got out and handed me a parcel. I commented on his nice delivery van, and he laughed and said a lot of the part-timers use their own vehicles. They get a mileage allowance to cover the vehicle costs.

Won’t go into details but I caught a Logistics driver doing something clearly weird on camera, so might want to watch your Ring device or whatever you have for the immediate future

I asked what organization the money was going to, she didn’t know.
Odd.

...if that’s how you want to rationalize not giving during the holidays and make you feel better from the disappointed grin you were likely given
I don't think it's the least bit unreasonable to inquire as to which organization one will be donating. For all anyone knows the money might be going to the "Kanye West Holocaust Denial Fund".

Large cities (in the downtown core) are having a locker system set up where the person would go get the last mile from the lockers. Avoiding vans driving around congestion heavy downtowns. Saw a presentation where underground parking areas have been used for this.
