Amazon’s shipping REALLY hasn’t got that much better over the last 6 months — despite their claims that they are using more & more Artificial Intelligence (AI). They have got better at playing games.

The above was beyond stupid. I ordered 12 copies of the SAME BOOK (as author copies). They SPLIT the order in TWO. Yes, split it in TWO — but not even 6 + 6. Instead 11 + 1. They printed 11 in one location & ONE in another. Shipped them SEPARATELY.

How does that make SENSE?

Two shipping costs to THEM. Stupid.

This, alas, is NOT the only example. I have talked about others too. See below.

From late last year.

From May 20, 2023. An even earlier post.

This is beyond CRAZY.

This is beyond CRAZY. Happens each and every time. You would think they would have FIXED it by now.

You would think folks in Maine would complain.

All deliveries to Maine take at least TWO DAYS longer than they do to New Hampshire.

I have another package, right now, with the same issue.

YES, another shipments of my ‘Bold Coast’ book to ‘Lubec‘, Maine. {Yes, they are selling them in Lubec — & I am delighted.}

I have already talked about this crazy ‘Chelmsford, MA‘ LOOP. Happens every time — without fail. It is STUPID.

I have brought it to Amazon’s attention — but they don’t care.

Well, I am offering you further, irrefutable proof. Check the images. You can see it clearly.

This is a shipment of 24 of my ‘Bold Coast’ book to ‘Lubec‘, Maine.

Amazon really, really struggles with shipments to this part of Maine. Yes, since Lubec is my PRIMARY outlet for my ‘Bold Coast’ books I ship a fair amount of books to Lubec from Amazon. In 2-years I have YET to have a shipment get there without a DELAY.

This to-and-from ‘Chelmsford, MA‘ LOOP that resulted in one day being LOST is easy to see. No explanation. Just PLAN STUPID. ‘Nashua, NH‘ is just 20-miles north of Chelmsford. So, it crosses state lines, goes to another city & comes back. This is NOT AI. This is STUPIDITY.

I spoke to Amazon about this. They acknowledged that they have a problem. Stupid.

Another example of Amazon shipping stupidity.

Yet ANOTHER example!

In the last few months Amazon has been all over the media claiming that they are using AI to make their shipping smarter.
Here are actual examples showing how it has FAILED —
& FAILED BADLY.
