Are returned packages ever sent off as "new"? I suspect a headphone i recently bought was already opened prior just because its missing the silican gel pack that is supposed to be there based on unboxing vids. Could just be a fluke tho

Do you feel bad for the delivery people being blamed for poor package handling when you know that they just toss shit around during shipment within Amazon's network?

0 we don't generally box stuff unless it comes to us damaged, then we rebox it. We found some buttplugs a few weeks ago. Someone even looked up the customer on facebook to see what she looked like and apparently it was some 40 year old woman.

Not at first. An example is that we used to have a required stow rate of 190 Packages/hour. They slowly raised that over time, 220, 250 and then suddenly they had a revamp of the whole system and expect us to hit 400 packages/hour. It's been a year since that system launched and we still don't have consistent 400 Stow rate people.

I used to have phases of taking a bunch of it to have a chill few weeks when i was getting burnt out. Lately I haven't been able to because of my department.

Full time at a Delivery Station which is Amazon Logistics (AMZL).

I'm not too sure about this. At my station we do have a Return To Station department but I don't know if that deals with actual customer returns or just packages from drivers that were undeliverable.

I don't see it as an imminent threat.

A guy at a company I work with literally bought a piece of equipment new from Amazon. When it arrived, the box was clearly previously opened. Inside the box was a lesser model. Someone did a bait and switch and returned a cheaper model. Definitely wasn't new.

I used to unload packages on a conveyor belt. Grueling work but a good work out, once you get used to it it's not so bad. A lot of people like unloading.

Eh Amazon just throws money back at the customer after every complaint so it's fine.

Well the new system was supposed to be faster, but it had other issues that made it end up being even slower.

I heard it's pretty bad at Fulfillment Centers. A few of our lazy employees transferred over to an FC after they had moved some schedules around. One of them got written up twice in his first week for not being back at his station on time. He quit soon after, and now he's trying to come back to our building.

I mean T1s recently got a pay bump at our station to around $17 depending on tenure. T3 Employees (usually assistant management positions) got an even more substantial bump to like $22. I'm already doing T3 work as a T1, but there's not spots for me to really fill. I'd raise a big stink about it, but at the same time it's better than doing all the physical labor on the floor, and i have a nice desk with a multi monitor set up and no one really bothers me with too much stuff. So for what i'm doing i'd say it's worth it, and it's going to be more worth it soon.

I assume that the fulfillment center is more like the customer service side of things but I really dont know.

Fulfillment Centers deal with packaging customer orders. The facility itself carries the item which is found, packaged and labelled.
Delivery Stations handle the packaged item and are the final location before the item is delivered to the customer.

There are also sort centers that i believe are in between FCs and DS, they sort out which stuff goes to which delivery station, they're generally way smaller and FCs are the biggest.

Fulfillment Centers are the shit you hear the
horror stories about. I think that's where they pack everything.

Sounds like tc has a relatively reasonable delivery center.

Yep its pretty chill, people who can't hit stow rate just get put into other functions.

I'm just a Tier 1. All the Level 4+ Managers talk the most shit about Associates, other managers, processes, and most of all higher level leadership. I don't think I've been purposely omitting any information to try and paint Amazon in a better light because why would I? And yes people aren't treated very well at the bottom levels at Amazon, I myself am a victim of that, I should have been promoted a long time ago, but the system sucks. I started this Ama because I thought people would want a different perspective other than "I don't get bathroom breaks" or "I fell asleep on the floor because I didn't have time to walk to my car." I'm in a different position than someone who just spends all day handling packages, but I've also been in their shoes.

200% and it's so fucking shitty. I've been getting used and open trash since like December.

The 100% way to know is if there's a LPN sticker on the box. That was definitely returned at least once, if not twice or more.

Even without the sticker, they've been sending trash that's opened and dirty and shit. All "shipped and sold by Amazon" and listed as brand new.
