They’re opening more delivery depots as well under the ‘Zeus Logistics’ / you’re a contractor not an employee with rights schtick.
Like at the moment all Cork deliveries depart Limerick at 9am.
I think it’s €14/hr for that gig, but your day would be micromanaged way more than any other driving job.
Amy chance this makes it easier to get laptop batteries?
Wonder if they’ll be able to do as exploitive labour practices here as they can in the states.
Fucking finally. Now open Amazon Fresh here so I can stop ordering from Tesco with their shit alternatives when what I ordered is out of stock.
I worries me given their reputation for treating their employees poorly
Will they be setting up a dedicated Amazon.ie as well?
When I saw this facility with loads of vans outside months ago I assumed it was already open. Maybe they had a small amount of deliveries taking place to shake down the facility before the “official” opening. Or they were using it as an intermediate distribution centre.
Take my money papa bezos
Amazon is a plague on the world and you should avoid it.
Fucking hate amazon tho..
Ooooh. Now, as an Amazon seller, let me ship my stuff to there instead of fucking Germany 😂
“Fulfilment centre” – it’s a fucking warehouse.
Placed an order recently, nothing was grouped and each item was delivered by a separate delivery driver.
Much handier when An Post had the contract, will be avoiding ordering in future.
Can we get our own website now? I don’t even use Amazon that often, but I’m still sick of having to use the German or UK one.
Ah, fond memories of delivering for them last summer. No paid overtime, peer pressured out of stopping to take a proper half hour break (if you did no one would come help you with deliveries, which would be the norm) and an arse backwards management structure that ensures nothing ever gets changed.
I can proudly say I don’t miss pissing in a bottle in the back of a van..in the dark..
I used to work in one of their warehouses.
I’m not sure what it says about me but I’ve had *loads* of jobs that were far worse and genuinely did not mind the work at all. A lot of the stuff you hear about them isn’t really true.
For instance the pissing in bottles thing…..
Do people piss in bottles? Yes. But it’s not because they’re overworked. The guys who piss in bottles (it’s only men that do it) do it because they’re too *lazy* to walk to the bathroom.
It really is only the laziest, slobbiest, most disgusting people who do this.
Amazon.ie, now with 25% paddy tax, because we can
/S sorta
Look any day we’re less dependent on a uk anything is a good day.
So apart from slightly faster delivery on a random assortment of things, does this have any implications for me, the Protagonist of Reality, a consumer?
wonder what the working conditions will be like though?
All done on £ pricing, go direct buy direct fuck these wasteful scum.
Do they still charge us a duty fee deposit when we order from the UK though? That’s what really stops me from using Amazon more. Also the fact that it’s a shitty company that abuses its workers and which is slowly destroying local businesses around the world…
Amazon: although we still haven’t figured out how to make an amazon.ie…we’ve tried everything and we are out of ideas.
Also fuck amazon
Let the bottle pissing commence
I hope this means returns will be easier. At some point in the last year many returns that could go to Dublin went to the UK and required me to pay postage. You got up to £9 back but twice the postage cost more than that. It just seemed like we were being punished as it was noticeably harder to return things compared to before.
Which one should I be using until then, German? Genuine question.
Will these employees be able to use the bathroom? /s
Does this mean same day delivery?
Shop local
Someone get as many union flyers as possible and plaster them at every corner
And still won’t send a firestick to Ireland..but will ship an international version for € 20 more.
Amazon would want to cop themselves on and create an [amazon.ie](https://amazon.ie). The current setup has Irish Amazon customers being screwed over. Can’t buy a bunch of products because they’re UK only (even Amazons’ own Eero products wont deliver to Ireland). We don’t get most of the content on Amazon Prime digital, we can’t share Amazon prime benefits with our family, etc. etc. It’s very frustrating.
People complaining that there’s no jobs here, now they’re hiring unskilled workers and we’re complaining about working conditions.
Bye Bye irish independent shops.
I hope to fuck this means we can finally get a decent selection of power banks. It’s so hard to get Anker ones here.
