Good thing my wife and I canceled our Amazon Account in January. Seeing shit like that show up on Amazon makes me wanna puke. They fired 3700 employees in Quebec recently and now this. Canadians, let"s boycott them all, there are alternatives to American products out there.

Smaller companies that only handle logistics and delivery. But itโ€™s been Amazon ways for a while that none of their subcontractors can grow. They will make it unpredictable so itโ€™s difficult to invest and come back to handle things themselves if a local company come close to making a descent business. They will end the contract and move to a new subcontractor just to prevent a local company to grow and gain leverage. Just like they are aggressively against union.

That practice is actually what made me quit using Amazon even before this latest bullshit. I live in a condo, so if I'm not home, they can't deliver. Every major courier (Canada Post, FedEx, etc) will just take it to one of their shipping locations and I'll pick it up on the way home from work. With the Amazon couriers, I end up playing phone tag with a person who unfortunately has very poor English, and just generally getting frustrated. Plus the tracking numbers just straight up don't work.
