Your not wrong they don't even get paid per hour they get paid per batch of parcels, we had bad snow and I said why did you risk coming to my house and he said he won't get paid if it's not delivered today. The self employed sure must suck

Watch the Panorama day in the life as an Amazon Logistics worker, vastly underpaid, overworked ridiculous quotas and 0 work benefits because its classed as self-employed..

Is this about Amazon Logistics? Where they don't bother to deliver at all, and if they do they **** on the parcel first?

I love it when they kick the thing up the drive, man, I think that's really cool.

It's not like you wanted what you ordered at all, you're just so cool with da attijude, mon.

Sorry, I have voted cold as like above only applying £3 pantry credit... I was enjoying the no-rush £1 mp3/video credits and saving them up nicely (allowed me to buy mp3's), but now these pantry credits are pants! Non stackable also.

Yes back to £1.00 digital, pantry may have a use one day when they make it easier to understand.

Deal, thankfully should be expired.

Did anyone get the deal that was mentioned in the OP (prime now credit)? Thankfully it's changed to digital (£1) credit now, which is more use than the £3 Pantry credit.
I tried doing a pantry order and gave up, can't be bothered with all the 15% of the box full etc nonsense. Too much of a hassle.

Wow
I got notification that parcel delivered today while out and it said 'handed to resident' too... strangely nobody was there to accept it...
Read your post, got worried but
fortunately the parcel was in the recycling boxes when we got back...:s

Yeah I order band of brothers blu ray set from amazon, it never arrived but tracking says it was handed to me. Amazon refused to help me and I was told to go to the police. Part of me feels like not buying from amazon now out of principle. I actually paid £2.99 cash and the other £10 was voucher and promos so I told them I'm not going to line up in the police station for £2.99.

Umm what on earth i just recieved an email telling me that they've given me a £3 digital voucher instead of an amazon now voucher credit.

Amazon.co.uk

Just bought a new deal to see what happens its now stating "amazon pantry"

so you can use the £3 credit for digital products too? anyone can confirm this?
anyone have the link for this?

i like the way Amazon has made it a lot harder to check any promotional balance (need to go to video / mp3 then pay with other option 'gift balance' and see promo credit there i believe)

yes exactly originally £3 pantry credit was stackable (so used originally when there was great offer on pampers)
then the next time the £3 credit wasn't stackable although Amazon didn't state it obviously (had to dig in few T&C links)
after a big fuss and some moaning customers Amazon made the £3 pantry credits stackable again...

which was great as soon as (with a little bit of patience) as soon there was a good deal on some bacardi i got a load of bacardi at £14/L

i don't get the £3 offer this time (probably as they toook me of the list lol) so can't see the offer and T&C this time but i guess Amazon wised up and it's not stackable any more....

Thanks for letting me know it's for pantry credit ordered 3 items on no rush didn't look thought it was music as normally it's been digital.
So went back in my orders and changed them to same day delivery. As pantry credits are useless to me.
Why so Hot

I only get £3 Amazon Pantry Credit (and not Prime now credit). I don't use Pantry anyway, so useless for me. T&C says only 1 x £3 credit per Pantry order!

Last year the pantry credits were non-stackable to begin with, then they decided that you could stack them. I think I had 6 that I used all at once.

I've never had an issue stacking pantry credits. It does it automatically when you go to pantry checkout.

Thx to those that selected this, I got most of my items next day with free delivery :smirk:

I'm gutted I've only got £1 digital credit in my account. I buy a lot from Amazon pantry so was looking forward to the £3 credits like last year. If you look their are some bargains to be had. And free delivery with certain items.

I really don't get why this has so much heat. You pay £80 a year to be a Prime member, then you pay a few quid extra for a Prime item, and a few quid extra again because Amazon is frequently more expensive than the competition (but, hey, you've paid to be an Amazon member so why not use Amazon?), and now they're paying you in temporary pretend-money to opt-out of the delivery service you pay extra for, and this is somehow a good thing?

I don't want to buy anything I have Amazon prime and prime now app can I get £3.00 credit for free if they are giving it away

Feel sorry for all the conscripted Amazon delivery drivers being forced to do this job otherwise Jeff Bezos will come and shoot their children.

I get the £3 Prime Now option, but they don't do Now in my area, what's the point in that?

just bought a £3 cd & got £3 pantry credit, not bad.

Certainly Amazon aren't bothered about breaking the law either. Also clearly not interested in any form of critique of their patronisingly twee adverts on social media...

Sports Direct were paying minimum wage, it was declared that the time staff were being checked by security should have been paid for. NI doesn't pay for pensions, it used to, but now the cult of the NHS takes £120,000,000,000 each year. Before Amazon were big over here, catalogues used self employed delivery drivers paid per parcel.

Blimey, it's just like being on Question Time here... :smirk:

because they are lazy

This is what happens when you increase minimum wage and insist all companies provide a pension. The small companies do exactly that but the big companies avoid by making employees self employed or just simply not paying the minimum wage (sports direct). It annoys me when panorama make a documentary about what is happening but don't look at the route cause, the government trying to make companies pay for the stuff they already charge the individual for through national insurance.

I got app credit

Well with the Uber drivers victory in court regarding being classed as s/e rather than employed and being the same situation they won't be classed as s/e for long.

Their choice of job! Plenty of options out there

How do I see how many credits I have? How can I get the Prime now app? Thanks

I like how prime now sneakily put £2 (optional) tip for the delivery driver, which you can change to 0 or whatever you want.
How about paying them properly?

Can you still sign up a 'new' email address for prime trial, then add your 'normal' account as family member to it?

K

I knew someone who said he used to work at amazon. He's from Lithuania and brings his work ethic with him. "It was fine, as long as we met our quota's and deadlines they paid damn well, the people who failed were always **** around"

If you think it's a crap job, another man will take it, and do it better than you. It's the world we live in today.

Yep, correct. You go: 'Flip, I am out of coffee'. Open app, order and two hours later: Ding Dong! Completely mental :smile:

Any Amazon logistics guys here? Do you actually get the tip that customers leave you in the Prime Now app?

What a ****!

I used to do the same but now I am prime member.

I vote all Amazon Prime deals cold as its the biggest con in history

you really do have too much time on your hands

I use to work at amazon logistics and put it this way..it is terrible and run by idiots so wouldnt surprise me and i was a head office transport division manager

I refuse to buy anything from amazon, their delivery drivers at total tw@#s

​Somehow I don't think Prince will be too bothered about this material being distributed.

Wished I'd read this first.Just ordered a couple of things

You'd think so, but I keep getting offered Prime Now credit even though it's not available in my area. Talked to Support and they said there wasn't anything they could do. Bit annoying, as there's now no incentive for me to choose No-Rush.

Apparently the Prime Now credit is only being offered this weekend though (I'm presuming Monday too), according to Support.

Cheers! well the lightning deals for me have been pretty poor, i bought a knee support a few days ago for £7.99 before this offer was on, but today the same knee support came up again for £7.99 and i bought another with no rush for the £3 credit so i now have support for both my knees!

What happens if my prime runs out before i use the £3 credit can i still use it or do i have to hurry up and use the credit?

​similar thing for me. Yesterday lunch time I ordered a couple of things that said prime. guaranteed Sunday?? One was even dispatched yesterday evening but won't be delivered today. I know it is a busy weekend but they know it is coming.

To get this offer you have to buy something from Amazon but I don't see a good deal for Black Friday

I wasn't paying attention last night when I bought something. I now have £3 pantry credit. Whoopdedoo. I should have selected next day. I'm amazed pantry is still going as it is, it's seems more expensive (yes a few cheaper items but overall it's poor, the selection isn't as good, there's the delivery charge and you have to fit things in a box. Then you have Ocado, Tesco and Sains doing cheap delivery passes which isn't much simpler.

its credit for 'pantry', which is kind of like subscribe and save, the idea is that you fill up a box of everyday items like shower gel/food etc which is delivered to your door... basically its like online shopping at tesco.... what i dont understand is from the items i have looked at its more expensive than the supermarkets and they charge £3 for delivery....combineing that with the fact that you cant stack credit makes the credit useless...

I've used pantry credit that I've collected over time in one shop. I buy four promotional items that I could make use of and get free delivery as a result. The other items I buy are useful and not too different from supermarket prices. Look at threads on here about merging credits for one order.

still only £1 digital credit for me!

Any chance you have access to a student email, .ac.uk? Student Prime is £39 pa up to 4 yrs, you say your course lats that long.

That's life as a parcel delivey driver. Amazon don't employ them, just like they don't employ the Post Office drivers who leave a card but don't knock.

Only folk who will take the jobs and accept this are EU migrants. The Brits won't take the jobs they say. I wonder why.

​That's correct

lolol

Surely you won't get Prime Now credit if your area doesn't have Prime Now... I'm in Edinburgh and we don't have it yet, even though I'm a Prime member. All that Prime Now gives I understand is delivery within 2 hours?

So you won't be offered primenow credit if your not on prime.

How has this got so much heat? Pantry credit is useless. This 'deal' leaves us worse off than the usual £1 digital credit.

I think k prime now credit is for prime customers becuase you cannot order on primenow app without a prime membership.

I still only get £1 digital credit - how do they select this?

they have given me apps credit !

I got prime now credit 3x £3 but the stuff I need it's not available on the app.

amazon being very cheeky! ordered a few items yesterday morning (friday) and all the Amazon Prime stuff says "FREE One-Day Delivery : get it on Monday, Nov. 28"

Thank you.

So you get free stuff that you then have to pay for shipping? Even though withPrime you get free shipping? Sounds bizarre.

I looked into Prime on the Amazon website a few months ago, to see what you get for your money but gave up. Want enough info for me to make a decision. I'm still not sure what you get in terms of music streaming and downloads.

Lol sorry basically Amazon pantry is a pantry service where you can buy canned goods / cereal etc.. stuff that belongs in a pantry.

Pantry delivery is not part of Amazon prime, the delivery costs 2.99 for your first box and 99p per box after.

You aren't honestly expecting Amazon to give a toss, are you? The site sells bootlegs, and also uploads those bootlegs to its servers as part of it's "AutoRip" feature - an act which is also illegal. And it's no use trying to blame the sellers as it clearly states said bootlegs are "sold and fulfilled by Amazon". There is no report function, Amazon ignore anyone trying to point out they're breaking the law. I've reported all the Prince bootlegs I found to F.A.C.T. who said they will also forward the links on to the BMI.
But take comfort in the adage "the bigger they are the harder they fall".

I got £3 pantry credit :disappointed:

got mine with Roku for £17.99 : )
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00K71I68K/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

I know less now than I did before.

Prime sounds confusing.

Still getting the £1 digital credit (better than £3 non-stacking Prime Now credit)

Been doing £1 digital credit with anything I order for a while but £3 pantry credit yesterday. Didn't bother ordering in the end. Rubbish.

Pantry is 2.99 shipping pal

Huh?

Doesn't Prime give you free shipping?

Agreed!!

I got £3 pantry credit but says that you can only redeem 1 credit per order

Sorry, I have voted cold as like above only applying £3 pantry credit... I was enjoying the no-rush £1 mp3/video credits and saving them up nicely (allowed me to buy mp3's), but now these pantry credits are pants! Non stackable also.

Damn I'm tired I wrote basically basically twice

Not a Prime member. What are pantry credits?

Free Corona time!!

Yes, likewise I was and agreed. Anymore orders and they can now work harder for next day! I was ordering on a no rush basis and stuff was turning up in 1-2 days anyway, but now everything will be on a next day guarantee and if they miss I will be contacting them!

Nah mine is for pantry. Which is pants.

£3 pantry credit for me also

Stuff I've ordered this week has been turning up next day with Prime tape sealing up the boxes. And I always choose free super saver, I'm not a prime member.

Your not wrong they don't even get paid per hour they get paid per batch of parcels, we had bad snow and I said why did you risk coming to my house and he said he won't get paid if it's not delivered today. The self employed sure must suck

i only get option for £3 credit for Pantry

Is this about Amazon Logistics? Where they don't bother to deliver at all, and if they do they **** on the parcel first?

I love it when they kick the thing up the drive, man, I think that's really cool.

It's not like you wanted what you ordered at all, you're just so cool with da attijude, mon.

Lol

Hmm I still see only 1 pound credit

Doesn't apply to all accounts.
