It’s very likely that Amazon sometimes marks packages as attempted delivery mistakenly or even dishonestly. Amazon does not appear to have a widespread policy that would support such an action. But with so many deliveries and so many employees, it seems likely that dishonesty would sometimes be the outcome.
For many Amazon items, you can choose various shipping options. To ensure that a signature is required, choose the shipping option with that instruction in it. If such a shipping option isn’t available, then you can contact the carrier and request a hold on the item so that you have to pick it up from the carrier.
If your Amazon package arrives open and items are missing and/or damaged, then you should contact Amazon. They might not resolve the issue directly, but they will redirect you to the carrier and/or the police as needed. Ultimately, the resolution varies case by case, but there are actions you can take.
For standard charging, most Kindle versions can go from a dead battery to completely full in five hours or less. With a fast charger, fast wireless charger, or any other charger that speeds up the process, a dead Kindle can be charged in as little as 2.5 hours. It depends on the version of Kindle and charger.
Yes, Amazon S3 has permanently lost data. According to Amazon’s own numbers, the service likely loses small amounts of data every single day. That said, S3 provides robust data protection that outperforms the vast majority of similar services, and the rate of data loss is exceedingly small for any user.
The message primarily means what you would expect. It is telling you that the delivery person physically handed the package to its recipient. Usually, it means the order has been delivered and is complete, but if you didn’t receive a package with this message, then you will need to contact Amazon for reconciliation.
This will vary wildly depending on many different factors. In general, a movie will come to Prime Video after it loses popularity at the box office, and that typically takes anywhere from 1 to 12 months. That said, competition can snag exclusive rights that keep a movie from coming to Prime Video indefinitely.
This depends on many factors that include the popularity of the content, the studio that produced it, and the many legally binding agreements that dictate publication rights. For most content, you can expect it on a streaming service within a year of its original release, but that doesn’t guarantee it will be on Prime.
There is no simple or short answer to this question. Amazon’s ability to air a show on Prime Video depends entirely on contracts with the copyright owner, and those contracts come in all shapes and sizes. A show can be available anywhere from the same day to years later, or even never if another site gets exclusivity.
As the phrase suggests, this means that the package went through the formal customs process for the country in question and was allowed access. The package is free to continue the journey that ultimately brings it into your possession. Still, this is only one step in the journey, and things can get complicated.
In general, an Amazon order number is not a high-risk piece of information for you to share. There are good reasons to share it, such as working with a secret shopper organization or trying to get rebates for giving out these details. Still, it is not a great idea to share order numbers with the masses.
You first need to make sure that the destination country is eligible to redeem Amazon gift cards. Assuming that it is, you can change the Amazon store settings to operate for the country where you are sending the card. Once you do, you can purchase the card and fill out the information to send it to the recipient.
In general, it is usually safe to buy a laptop from Amazon, but circumstances can vary. Amazon.com hosts a lot of different sellers, and they do not all live up to the same expectations. If you take the time to vet your seller and the laptop you want to buy, then you can get a good deal and have a good experience.
This message is telling you that Amazon received your order, confirmed payment, and is now picking and packaging the item (or items). In many cases, there can be days (or more) between the time you place an order and this message appears. The main reason for the message is to let you know that shipment is underway.
In general, it is perfectly fine to reuse Amazon Prime envelopes for additional shipments, and they will often perform quite well at the job. In order to do it, you will need to remove any previous shipping information to avoid confusion with the new shipment. You should also ensure that the old envelope is undamaged.
If you get more items than you ordered, there are two ways for you to deal with the problem. You can contact Amazon and try to return (or purchase) the extra products, or you can hope they don’t notice. In either case, regulations in many countries protect you from being billed for items you didn’t specifically order.
