o/t online shopping

as always i leave it til the last minute for certain occasions, can't buy flowers too early anyway
being a postie working 50/60ish hrs 6 days p/w and usually dead on my feet by aif 2 most days i haven't set foot in a supermarket since mid november bar xmas eve just to buy cards & chocs
drove by tesco earlier, **** that, it looked rammed! went to lidl, got some flowers but no card, then went to 2 local shops, still no cards!
already pissed off after 30 mins in car trying to thaw my fingers out i chalked **** on it
got home, wife went "pffft" at the flowers!
got on prime, added roses, her favourite pop and chocs and a card delivered along with potts teacakes, bacon & mushrooms for brekky at just gone 4!

maybe a few quid more expensive but **** me, it beats the supermarket sweep any day!

 

Prime. Discuss.

 

Think it’s very good value if you have enough deliveries and especially if you have any interest in the Video/Music etc. services.

 

as much as people slag amazon off on their treatment of workers, yes royal mail workers are probably better off in t&c but we still get treat like crap too
i can't speak highly enough of amazon in their service, i usually have 2 shops per week, 3 this when i noticed i had no lagers in thurs when i got home

 

Let's go all B2B, EDI, WMS, etc

 

care to elaborate on the abbreviations as i don't know them

 

Really is, we've had it years before they launched prime TV I think (or certainly before they started competing with Netflix)
Pre Covid we probably had about 1 or 2 things delivered a week. Now it's almost everything, even when shops were open with all the queuing to get into places we just ordered everything from Amazon.
If things are slightly cheaper elsewhere it often works out "cheaper"as we don't have to add delivery on. It's nearly always next day and they update you with delivery slots now too and returns are usually free return postage.
We have favourites saved and can just ask Alexa to order them. Then as you say throw in the Music too and I think it's probably the best value subscription I have. Never even crossed my mind to cancel it.

 

Business to Business
Electronic Data Interchange,
Warehouse Management Systems,

I think you have just come,

 

still means nothing to me i'm afraid

 

As a postie of 38 years I've always done plenty of overtime but this last year as been unreal.
BUT at least we are earning getting daily exercise and not cooped up like millions of people.
A little tired though lol.

 

but bet ya wished you had the last 2 days off, my fingers are fecked! ;-)

 

Dunt bother me this weather as its better then rain,snow and ice although i finally put my shorts away and put trousers on .
People were saying it MUST be cold if you've got them on lol.

 

We've just moved over to Amazon Web services at work. I've no knowledge beyond that as I'm just user of the system all it ment for me was we went to a Windows 10 desktop.

 

Doesn’t sound like something I’d enjoy

 

i'm still an all year round shorts guy, 38 yrs? betcha gotta cushy rural in a warm van ;-)

 

No iam on van share and since it started I've had 83 partners, got a regular one now lol. Been on same walk now for 35 years, only got two years till retirement (unless there's redundancy) and if there is Iam taking it if given half a chance.

 

Postman at work has been like a cat that got the cream the last few months since he found out about the big backdated pay rise they're getting

 

van share? that's been a while, or seems that way, i'm a mere 16 years in, no way will i make to 38

 

trust me, it'll end in tears for us, the deal sucks

 

Definitely they don't give you back pay from last April to now (26th February when we get it) for nowt. Wanting more and more from us and concentrating more on parcels. Wanting to kick Saturday into touch so no cover men needed so that's 20,000 going.
