I have yet to see that new Amazon authentication, and I use multiple computers to order from them. One of them being a semi public machine that gets cookies and history dumped daily.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
Roughly 36 hours later and the problem appears resolved, although I am still confused over what happened. The last customer service rep insisted
but from my side, this is untrue. I found the two-step verification settings weeks ago after searching their help pages, and the interface always read "Get Started". The rep also said something I don't understand at all:
So Amazon enables new features randomly to see if customers like them? If so, that sure blew up in their face! One of my banks (JP Morgan Chase) has a feature like this, but (I'm guessing) base it on browser, OS, netblock, etc. and if they nag me a couple times a year, it's cool. IMHO Amazon's approach is a disaster, not least of which because I never asked to have it enabled.
EDIT: I spoke too soon. It's back again.
In researching this situation, I see that Two-Step Verification has been activated on your account
From time to time, we test both new and existing features on our website to determine which characteristics or services drive customer purchases and satisfaction
EDIT: I spoke too soon. It's back again.

I would find the "add-on" items tolerable if you just had to add it on to a single non add-on item if you're a Prime member. This having to have a $25 minimum goes against the point of joining Prime in the first place. I also love how a lot of these items are $4.99 so you fall a few cents short if you try to group them in an order of 5.

So, now you can't filter and sort your lists anymore? I had it filtered by price low-to-high, now the only option left is priority high to low...

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
I've had to save the URLs all this time to sort by both category and price. Now that's broken. This is fucking bullshit. Why do they keep gimping the fucking wishlist!? There's no point in it.

My wishlist still has options to sort by Title, Price (low to high), Price (high to low), Date Added, Priority (high to low) and custom. Unless you're talking about a different list.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
The options were missing temporarily. Maybe enough people complained to get it fixed quickly.

Mine is still sortable by price.

That's so weird, i wonder if you guys are in some bucket of testing like the guy that was getting all that two factor authentication stuff. I assume it doesn't matter what browser you use?

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
I think you guys are looking at two (2) different options.
There is the Wishlist (no space between the h and the L) which is the same as I'm used to seeing it.
There is now a Wish List (with a space) which is what the screen grabs have been posting.

I have no idea what you mean. My "correct" screen shot looks like the same section as Viper's that's missing the same filter items, both are under "Wish List" with a space.

Has anyone had items shipped to an Amazon locker?
I've noticed the shipping times to the lockers lag compared to shipping it to your home.
I usually have items shipped to a locker on days when I'm not home to avoid potential theft when stuff is left on my doorstep.
Anyways, I ordered The Naked Cage (new release BD this week) and it was released on Tuesday. Amazon locker delivery time says it won't be delivered until Monday. It's been sitting at preparing for shipment for the last 2 days.
Wondering why the heck the locker shipping times lag so much?

I wonder if it's because a lot of the locations the lockers are at don't have regular deliveries?

It's supposed to be just as fast. Did you do Prime? It's also possible that you have a stuffed locker location. I'm sure they track availability and don't send out packages unless there's a space open. You're probably stuck in a queue.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
In case anybody is interested, I did finally get my login problem resolved. After trading 3 emails with Amazon support and calling them three times, I finally called Amazon Corporate in Seattle and vented a little to their switchboard guy. He sent me to one of Amazon's "Search and Rescue" call centers (ever heard of them?), and while that guy also had no idea what I was talking about, he either called or IM'd somebody for advice. It is a new security measure, but is supposed to ask only once. Somehow mine was stuck in the "on" position. He submitted a form on my behalf and less that 24 hours later, my account was fixed. It still has a hair trigger...I saw it again after clicking an email link from a UK Marketplace vendor requesting feedback, but this time it wasn't around long. It still feels like sloppy programming, but hopefully they will perfect it over time.
