Oh For Goodness Sake

[andrewducker]

I have Amazon Prime, which means I don't pay any postage costs for things bought from Amazon. Which is nice, and has so far saved me more than the yearly cost (£49).

It's great - except in one respect: They sometimes send things "guaranteed next day" - which means it goes by Citylink rather than Royal Mail. Citylink's nearest depot is in _Livingston_ - 28 miles away. The Post Office depot, on the other hand, is a 15 minute walk from my office.

Is there a way to say "For God's Sake, always send _everything_ by Royal Mail!!!"? No, there isn't.

I also have Amazon Prime. Amazon have a LARGE warehouse in Glenrothes which is where most of their scottish stuff gets dispatched from. The citylink depot is right next door - hence why most Amazon stuff comes from citylink. This greatly pisses me off since if I'm not home(like today) I have to drive 18 miles to the citylink depot in GLENROTHES, which involves driving past the Amazon warehouse to get to, I'd actually be quicker going to the Livingston one.
