Our main problem is that they keep on delivering to a house almost two miles away. Same house number, different street.

UPS, FedEx, Postal Service, DHL -- all can find our well-marked twin house, which is now about nine months old, and is on a normal public street -- except for Amazon. Every month or two we try again, and they still epic fail. Happened today again with a dog leash -- not only did I have to drive over to pick it up from the nice patient people who live at the wrong house, I now have to return it because it is a different, shorter, model from the one I purchased!

How long until they go the way of past discount store leaders like Korvettes, McCrory, F. W. Woolworth, Grants, K Mart, and a bunch I've forgotten that seemed on the top of the world until they weren't. I've no idea, but discount retail never lasted forever before.

I did make two prime day purchases, going to a locker -- US$75 for a Kids edition eReader, plus a toothpaste three-pack.
