LaserShip, Amazon's New Shipping Partner, Might Be the Most Hated Company on the Internet

There are certain industries that inspire outsize amounts of rage when they screw up.  Airlines are one.  TV providers are another.  But angry comment for angry comment, there may be no more rage-inducing business than package delivery.  If you want to garner widespread customer fury, just deliver a package late or damaged and wait for the storm to roll in.  LaserShip -- an Uber-like service that delivers packages for Amazon, Walmart, and Sephora, among others -- might just be the most hated company on the internet.  Some comments, helpfully gathered by the criticism website lasershit.com:

LaserShip -- and the ocean of dissatisfied customers it leaves in its wake -- is an inevitable result of stratospheric growth.  Reliable shipping companies like FedEx, UPS, and the USPS aren't able to deliver all of the same-day, next-day, and two-day packages that Amazon's Prime customers are paying for, and the infrastructure just isn't there to do it as cheaply and efficiently as Amazon needs.  That's led to parasitic companies popping up to take advantage of Amazon's need for cheap, fast package delivery.  The poster child might just be LaserShip. 

Amazon uses a variety of ways to get people their packages.  Because its volume is so huge, an algorithm automatically chooses the best available option between the USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon's own Flex delivery service, and any of several companies Amazon calls DSPs, or delivery-service providers.  Customers can't select which shipping service they'd prefer; there's too high a chance that one of those companies is maxed out on how many deliveries it's making, or that the cost for Amazon would be too high.  A same-day delivery done by FedEx could cost Amazon $50, according to Kevin Porter, who has worked for LaserShip, FedEx, and UPS as a courier.  So Amazon sources cheaper options.  One of those is LaserShip. 

Twitter and many message boards, including posts on Amazon's own forums, are full of complaints about LaserShip.  Packages aren't delivered.  Packages are delivered late -- this is more troubling given that Amazon often claims a strict delivery window of the same day, the next day, or in two days -- or are left outside.  Packages are marked as delivered and not delivered.  Packages are delivered to the wrong address.  Packages are often just completely lost. ( The message for that one is, "LaserShip is unable to confirm control of your package at this time.")  Sometimes, an error will show up on the tracking page: "Parcel damaged and will be discarded."  Customers who attempt to contact LaserShip report being totally unable to solve their problems; they are better off contacting Amazon or whichever company they originally purchased their item from. 

AND
Tom Mara of LaserShip cultivates an innocent persona.  It's as if he is playing a character in a play, with very thoughtful displays of his personality.  He completely puts on the innocent or especially sweet act, which is easy to believe.  You shouldn't take your first impression of him or any of them at face value.  If you don't know a person well, they can mislead you into thinking they are innocent or sweet.  The only real way to know a sociopath's true personality is by getting to know them well.  But if you listen to your intuition, you may get the feeling that their persona is just too simple to be real.  Non-sociopaths are genuine people and not a perfect picture of a simplified personality. 

WARNING: PLEASE BEWARE OF Predatory, philandering, sick men there, including but not limited to, effeminate Tom Mara who feign victim when they're exposed, outed or confronted. 

I would just like to warn anyone looking for a position with this Company.  Most of the people there are unskilled labor just trying to make ends meet.  It's very diverse, which is a good thing, but then you realize, people are stuck there, with little to no education.  LaserShip counts on this ignorance or lack of the ability to see that anyone has the ability to go somewhere where they can prosper and thrive. 

I would say this isn't a company for anyone with any integrity.  It's especially not fit for females.  Predators to the Nth degree.  All in management, sales especially. 
Remember Uber, in the news recently?  You NOW have an idea of what LaserShip is like.  A bunch of dim-witted, philandering, Neanderthals who haven't realized that growing up and not cheating on your wives is not that bad.  Beware of all of them, who pretend that they're family men and the ones who, especially project that they're so virtuous -- that projection is the red flag.  They really wear who they are on the sleeves, so just watch and listen, but only if you have to work there; otherwise please stay away. 

My package was sent back today and all the delivery man had to do was ring the panel bell which was right on the wall, Lazership sure don't go out of their way in making sure you get your package, they are even worse then USPS and FEDX.
