I've read a lot of people, saying that auditors cause issues and only film to get a rise. Not so, these companies cause issues before cameras were put into phones, auditors now just show this for the world to see which can make a company better from public pressure
They were clearly encouraging the drivers to filter in on both sides of their access road. In actual fact every vehicle that made that illegal right turn committed at least 3 offences all worth 3 penalty points each. 1st was queuing on hatched area/turning area for oncoming traffic, 2nd was going right of a keep left sign, 3rd again going right of a keep left sign on the entrance road.
Love your videos you are usually informative and entertaining but you're also socially responsible reporting land grabs and in this case dodgy driving. Great stuff Ace keep up the fine work
It is an Amazon problem and they should sort it asap but the manager was quite receptive to the issue and proactively dealt with it - good on him. A good ambassador for Amazon. Fascinating to see them all loading - like worker ants!! A nice video and loving the new MiRider!
Well done ACE! There is a simple solution but as a corporation Amazon would find it below themselves to worry about or implement a cure for such matters. Our local incinerator opens its gates at 7.30am. To enter your vehicle is registered on their ANPR, as you approach the barrier the camera recognizes your number plate and the barrier raises to let you in. If anyone gets there before 7.30am and waits roadside for the gate to open they will receive an Email saying that they have been seen on cctv waiting on the road and if it happens again their vehicle may be banned from the site. No one waits as if they get removed from the system they cant make a living! I am sure all those vans have to be registered on an Amazon system to allow them enter and to load up with items. Looking at them all it is a shame to think that all the goods they are carrying would once have been in shops on the high St! Keep up the great work, top Auditor!
I worked for amazon in a call center... We had so many cases of drivers stealing good it was so often we used to just resend the item... Most never got prosecuted just sacked "becouse apparently it paints the company in bad light" lol 😮😊
Can we summon him? Maybe if we call out his name three times, while looking into a mirror in a dark room? No, hang on, that's the Dark Lady I believe? Hmm.
The roads in Ipswich have become considerably more congested and dangerous since a large Amazon depot opened here!!! You only need to look at the battered vans to judge!
Hmm, that's a tough one. They are meant to be keeping left there, but it looks like they're doing it to try and _not_ block traffic. It's hard to see the purpose of that keep left when it would make more sense to have a contiguous right turn lane, and it's rather curious that there's not a matching keep left when going the other way. Looks like the road design is the real problem there.
It looks as if the problem is caused by Amazon dividing the lanes into left and right to speed up traffic. It means they have to be in one lane when they enter and then split. The split should be via a small roundabout further into the site.
To answer the question of how many parcels do Amazon drivers have or is it based on weight - it used to be based on the value of goods up to a limit of £25k. Most sub/urban routes are between 250 - 300 parcels and are meant to take no longer than 9hrs with an unpaid 30 min break. Unfortunately Amazon flog their drivers to exhaustion every day to the point of exploitation as to complete their routes within their timeframe requires working at a frantic pace which is unsafe and dangerous to the public who share the roads of Amazon vans flying around cutting corners to save valuable time.
Great local reporting, I bet this happens all the time, wonder what time this was? They clearly know about it (as he said) but they just muddy the water (its not me its them) Good to hear they are looking to improve.
Fair play, they seemed to listen, 'seemed' lol I was collared by police myself many years ago as young driver for parking near a junction and directly in line with a lined out strip. I was told that they are in effect a painted traffic island and should not be driven over or parked alongside of the road they inhabit as it forces cars to then drive over the painted island strips. They separate the traffic and direct to give a safe route etc. Maybe things have changed as I no longer choose to drive 🤔 You can see a small solid island on the drone footage with the painted island continuing away from it. The vans are breaking so many. highway code rules and laws. Parking in yellow lines and pavements (pavement parking is one of my triggers, thoughtless for kids, prams, disabled, blind etc) yet I'm the bad guy if I ever dare mentiom it to the pavement parkers, I could understand more on a tight street with no parking anf going the pavement a little bit but quite a few do already have drives and literally take up all the pavement. makes me 🤬🤬🤬 They just CBA, I've reported one to to the police they tell me it's local council issues, local council tell me it's a police issue 🙄 We need some proper laws that are then enforced. People and businesses will still do what they want to save time and energy.
So, it’s been raised a few times and yet nothing has been done about it. So basically, right? Sloping shoulders, couldn’t care less. Send the footage with reg. numbers to the police.
Amazon in general are extremely open and transparent, they've had a lot of stick based on envy and conspiracy (I've mentioned it in one of my videos about pee breaks). The security guard must be so frustrated not bring allowed to be too bossy.
With the *Police and local authorities,* being so eager to earn money off current traffic violations and parking offences.. They could earn a wedge from these guys. Through fines etc.. tee hee!!
Amazon are responsible for this behaviour. The vans being used are on their behalf. The drivers don’t deserve to have a licence. Where’s the law when there is a law being broken - probably stopping a law abiding citizen with a camera. 😅
You are doing a fantastic job telling them about what there drivers are doing which might cause accident. The expression's on there faces were comical nice one...🥺😏👍🌹💐
Having to put a name on a piece if paper just to soeak to management is rubbish. They probably just wanted to get a name. The funny thing though is they have no clue if that name is lagit or not. 😅😅😅😅
how can they charge on street parking, where is the council parking notice, as well as that, is that sign legal size, does not show or say, where it starts and stops, are there marking for that parking, i think thats illegal, but im not a parking warden, just lived in london, certain laws apply
That really is dreadful and clearly sanctioned by Amazon. Of course you could report the traffic offenses but I think all that would do is get the drivers fined and a few points. From what I understand Amazon give their drivers a really shit deal so perhaps that's not the best plan.
Typical in passing the buck get the police to send someone there and record all the vans breaking the law and slap them with a fine and talk to Amazon about their drivers.
That is Amazon's fault. They have introduced a split traffic lane after the entrance and there is no way to go to the right if they enter the correct way. That is why they break traffic laws. They should refuse and Amazon is causing a H&S breach for which they may be liable if there is an accident.
Friend works at the job centre and told me they fast track them to sia to avoid the narrative they are here for benefits ect, loads on government projects doing nothing, hs2 has about 10x what they need in security.
Just cause your work places implements a way of working doesnt mean its legal and doesn't mean your not responsible for your actions on the roads where the traffic police they would have a field day down here collecting all those tickets fees
Amazon are one company that don't allow electric vehicles on the property unless they are amazon approved vehicles due to liability of the vehicles and fire risk to the property the amazon lawyers have said they can refuse staff members to bring electric vehicles on to the property
Excellent vid. Getting footage and highlights a real problem. The main guy was ok but will he do anything constructive? The first guy was making it 'his' business a bit too much but not too bad. Good content
Amazon do usually offer guided tours, council really needs to get rid of that little island. This warehouse has a number online. The van drivers get far too much to do. The story of how Amazon started is quite an endearing watch.

100% ❤️⭐
Our ACE not only films, but also takes action against abuses.
What a personality.
It makes me more than proud.
And I don't even live in Great Britain.
As I said before,,if Amazon says you can not film,,ask why did Amazon sell the camera to me then?
The lady has balls bless her!! Keep it up hun😂❤

You need to contact the County Council Highways Dept and local Police to advise them to take remedial action imo.
Will see how it looks when I go back 😊
Love this lady so cool calm tone when she comes across horrible tyrants
You stumble on interesting situations that need to be brought to light. The hidden walking path story was another good one.
There's another one today too 😊
Basically, if he's being honest, he doesn't really want to know. Actually surprised that he asked you to send him footage.
Just wanted Aces DM lol

Collective noun for a group of delivery vans = Nightmare 😂

Cycling Mikey would have a fit if he saw those keep left violations!

Good work, this company would use an elephant to deliver products if it came down to it.

It’s a known issue they are doing nothing about… go back in four weeks
Auditor like ace exposing tyrant's.
The roads in Ipswich have become considerably more congested and dangerous since a large Amazon depot opened here!!! You only need to look at the battered vans to judge!
Fairly standard for an Amazon depot.
Ace,the collective noun would be a CRASH of vans. Nice to see you back in action 🎬
😂
You go from strength to strength! You are an 'absolute natural' at this! Big respect Ace!!😊😊
Thanks. Could you email me please, I need to chat about something 😊
@@AceAudits I would, but my email isn't functioning as it should be! I've had this issue with other people as well! Sorry Ace!

The problem is caused by the Amazon marshalls who are bringing the vans in via the exit instead of the entrance
Eileen Dover...lolol...you are wicked lady...well done ❤️
Absolutely disgusting but not a surprise Amazon DPD evri all the same taking white van man to new lows
Where's the police that always seem rock up when auditors are doing a legal activity on industrial estates?

It doesn't surprise me 😕
hi ace, hope your well, nice to see you back at it, i worked at amzon a while ago, not the best, in durham
I'm really disappointed Ace! All that greenery and you couldn't find a single bush worth commendation.😂
😂
They spend millions on these buildings but do nothing with traffic management?
well done...ace.
Eileen Dover...🤣🤣🤣🤣
brilliant footage Ace.

Collective noun would be - Delivei?
Very pleasant interaction, but Amazon are too big to give a toss about any complaints.
Until a pesky UA-camr comes along and exposes their wrongdoings to the world 😂
Welcome back 😆😀….🙌🏾
So, it’s been raised a few times and yet nothing has been done about it. So basically, right? Sloping shoulders, couldn’t care less. Send the footage with reg. numbers to the police.
I'm going after Amazon, who are enabling their drivers to do that. Will see how its going in 4 weeks time :)
LOL @ anyone saying the vans are independent when it has the company logos slapped on the side.
Oops forgot to mention great video Ace lol.... But the drivers breaking rules doesn't surprise me at all lol
Looks like two infractions on the public highway. Wrong side of the traffic island on the main road and then wrong side just outside Gate 1. Shocking.
Amazon in general are extremely open and transparent, they've had a lot of stick based on envy and conspiracy (I've mentioned it in one of my videos about pee breaks). The security guard must be so frustrated not bring allowed to be too bossy.

It was nice to see Eileen Dover make an appearance!
Could get CyclingMikey there to do his Gandalf action.
😂
Trouble is Police couldn't care less these days you only get done for speeding nowadays no other traffic laws seem too matter
You are doing a fantastic job telling them about what there drivers are doing which might cause accident. The expression's on there faces were comical nice one...🥺😏👍🌹💐
That look when they realise there is a camera looking right at them and the recording light on it is flashing 😂
Amazon cannot swerve their responsibility as ultimate employer in my opinion. They can't simply shrug their shoulders and blame subcontractor drivers.
Great Work ACE 👍
Thanks, can't wait to go back and see what improvement has been made
@@AceAudits Did you ever go back?
@@Flukey11 not yet
Having to put a name on a piece if paper just to soeak to management is rubbish. They probably just wanted to get a name. The funny thing though is they have no clue if that name is lagit or not. 😅😅😅😅
you tried Amazon not really bothered as well as council send it to Police well done
Anyone with any sense would split the 2 lanes at entrance to take the back log away, I see that happening now after i wrote this
95% of the vans were Amazon owned. Also why is a security manager wearing his badge the wrong way round. At least he was willing to listen. Nice audit
I apologise, it wasn’t an SIA badge in his hi-vis
Great video
A group of vans are called a fleet.
how can they charge on street parking, where is the council parking notice, as well as that, is that sign legal size, does not show or say, where it starts and stops, are there marking for that parking, i think thats illegal, but im not a parking warden, just lived in london, certain laws apply
Does the neon drone wrap help much in terms of VLOS?
Yes, aids with a longer vlos, and deters birds. It works well and it weighs 249g. I spraypainted it, not a wrap 😊
Power to you Ace for raising this with Amazon. Basically…snivel…Ines not…snivel…really interested. Blah blah blah
That really is dreadful and clearly sanctioned by Amazon. Of course you could report the traffic offenses but I think all that would do is get the drivers fined and a few points. From what I understand Amazon give their drivers a really shit deal so perhaps that's not the best plan.
100%, he tried getting the reg numbers from me, but I was quick to stop himand tl him it's an amazon problem, not a driver problem
Hey Eileen Over. 😂 I'd love to comemt, but if I did I get a ban.
ACE when they made you sign in you should have written Peanut butter lol
😂
If not too far from you think should do xmoor pharma, place where pure adults had a bad time.
I'm in the Manchester area
Next time use Jenny Tailier as a 'name'.... 😂😂😂
😂 Love it
Typical in passing the buck get the police to send someone there and record all the vans breaking the law and slap them with a fine and talk to Amazon about their drivers.
The high street is dead. It looks like this now 😭
Given what you witnessed, I would suggest collective noun should be a congestion of delivery vans 😅
James on that coconia! Just playing he did his job with respect and honour.
That is Amazon's fault. They have introduced a split traffic lane after the entrance and there is no way to go to the right if they enter the correct way. That is why they break traffic laws. They should refuse and Amazon is causing a H&S breach for which they may be liable if there is an accident.
open the gates early you have a large parking area that will sort the problem
Great video. Highlighting the issue and handling it like a pro 👌
This is the future please be careful in judgement of what lies ahead
Why is it that probably 90% of security personnel are foreign with little grasp of the English language and British law?
cheap labour, i guess?
Friend works at the job centre and told me they fast track them to sia to avoid the narrative they are here for benefits ect, loads on government projects doing nothing, hs2 has about 10x what they need in security.
Well spotted....they have made a rat run for rats....
Just cause your work places implements a way of working doesnt mean its legal and doesn't mean your not responsible for your actions on the roads where the traffic police they would have a field day down here collecting all those tickets fees
What is the correct noun for a group of delivery drivers, over paid if they're not delivering ha.
Amazon are one company that don't allow electric vehicles on the property unless they are amazon approved vehicles due to liability of the vehicles and fire risk to the property the amazon lawyers have said they can refuse staff members to bring electric vehicles on to the property
Excellent vid. Getting footage and highlights a real problem.
The main guy was ok but will he do anything constructive?
The first guy was making it 'his' business a bit too much but not too bad.
Good content
A drive of delivery vans?
Ace❤❤❤❤
Well done Ace! Amazon get away with too much in this country! Tax comes to mind!👌
So, Amazon wants your name *and date of birth* just to enter their premises. That's over-reach.
Yeah totally. Hope they enjoyed my fake name lol
The manager was kl
Amazon are overpriced yet they seem to be selling a lot.
