Comment on Why your Amazon order confirmation emails have become so unhelpful

Comments

I've been unsubscribing from a lot of mailing lists the past week because my email was getting cluttered.

I noticed many Amazon emails, not just the 'ads' but also the order confirmation, order shipped, rate your order, etc emails related to a purchase. Honestly, never look at any of them because I know most will arrive either same day or within the next 1-2 days and I don't care for rating my orders.

It's only when something hasn't arrived within that timeframe that I check the app/website, both of which are much more useful.

If your delivery is fulfilled by amazon, they'll ask if you want to send a "thanks" to your driver. My understanding is there are bonuses for good levels of "thanks" and so it's worth clicking though and giving them as much thanks as you can to help them out.

I rather those drives have Health Care than having to suck up for bonuses.

I agree with you, but it's one of those things that exist today that can help them out.
