susandennisSo about 2 miles (or less) down the road - away from town, so easy - is an Amazon outpost. It's actually in the end of the Starbucks Headquarters Building. They are a pickup location for Amazon Fresh and have package pickup lockers. For several years they have also been an option for returning Amazon stuff.
And then they were no longer an option and the other options sucked. Too far or too hard to get to or just too complicated.
But, now, they are back and a kiosk! You don't even have to box up our goods. You get a QR code in email and beep it in at the kiosk. Then put it in a plastic bag that they have right there. The kiosk hands you a label. You slap it on and slip the sucker into the shoot. Easy peasy. And fast. The refund was issued in 3 hours. I missed you Amazon SODO!
Now I just need to get them to turn their free wifi access back on. When they first opened, they thought they had it on until I showed them they did not. And there is zippo cell signal in that building. Now it is off again. I did not tell the guy today because I was lazy. Next time.
I did not need to use my feet from the Amazon place to the car an back. The gusts of wind carried me nicely. All day the wind has been blowing and it's been raining on and off.
And now I'm going to have to clean up leaves from the terrace... again.

Date: 2020-11-18 01:41 pm (UTC)The only article I could find from a source I trusted was saying that this is occurring in Canada. Do I doubt that it's not at least in part occurring in the US and other countries? Absolutely not. But it's not 100% even in this article.
