Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

That's the one thing I don't like about prime. Those stupid add on items that they won't add on to a prime eligible order. What I usually do is find another listing for that item, or a slightly different variation of it that is prime eligible and order that by itself. You say you the $4.99 box of staples is only an add on item Amazon? I'll order the $3.99 box that is prime eligible. Doesn't work all the time though, obviously.

Most of the $5 CDs are now add-on items.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

People still buy CDs? Amazing.

It's rather sad Amazon has been out of PS4 Pros at least a week now, but every other store has them.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I am surprised that nobody else is complaining about Amazon's new login procedure. Every time I log in, their site greets me with this


At first I thought it was a cookie thing, and not saving cookies between sessions was causing me extra work...but no. I ran a test just now that saved cookies and was still prompted. In a way I can respect strong security, but none of my BANKS are this anal. So is this affecting everybody or is my account special? I do not sell on Amazon.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Never seen that before.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Thanks, Cardsfan. That's a ray of hope. Now I just need to find somebody at customer service who gives a damn long enough to help deduce the problem. Amazon does have a "Two Step Verification" system they discuss at

https://www.amazon.com/a/settings/ap...eadcrumb_adsec

but mine isn't switched on. Can anyone think of other settings? Come to think of it, I do have an account (but no products) at createspace.com. Wonder if that's a factor?

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Motherfuckers have been out of Surge for a month. Price keeps updating, but it's still unavailable, and it's pissing me off.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I've been invited to do the two-step authentication but I keep skipping it.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I'm on Amazon a lot but haven't seen the verification stuff. Surprised it would trigger everytime though, usually it would be one of those "logging in from a new location" type of things.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I'm usually on Amazon daily, including today, and have never seen that.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Never seen that either.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I"ve seen it on a couple of browsers I don't normally use to order. A code was sent to the email, I copy/pasted it in, and proceeded. No biggie.

What annoys me more is after a few orders where they *do* ask for the password it defaults to being logged in to order - even though I never check the box. I can order anything I want with no password entry needed - but to check a order I still have to log in. This can be "fixed" by logging out and logging back in but the process reverts again after 3 or 4 orders. It's almost like "one click" (which I also do not have enabled - IMHO it's a totally stupid option) - or maybe it is "one click" - don't know as I don't have that stupidity enabled.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

See. I always check the box to keep me logged in, and I get pissed when it asks again. I'm the only one with access to this computer. What's really mind boggling is that it will let me buy a digital code (Xbox/PS4/whatever) without re-entering my password, BUT turn around and ask me for my password to view the code in the digital library.

I also want to know why the fuck they stopped having those nice gift cards with the peel off strip and went back to scratch off shit. It's not a fucking lottery ticket.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Not really a complaint, but thought this was an amusing story to share.

Early last week, I ordered an SD card, new cell phone case and 2 BD's. Had it shipped to the Amazon locker near my house. I occasionally have items shipped there on days I'm not home.

Kept checking the order status and then noticed a day later that the item was shipped back to Amazon. I checked with customer service via a chat on their website and they said don't worry, tracking number is wrong, it's just late.

5 days passed and still nothing. So I called them and the person I spoke to called the Amazon carrier and the carrier said that my package was damaged during transit and undeliverable and they had to send it back.

Gee, thanks. I would have appreciated an e-mail to let me know. They gave me a refund, but gave it to me as an Amazon GC to my account.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

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. :(

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I just noticed all the $5 blus are now Add-Ons. Bad Boys is $3.52 - IF you buy $25 worth of stuff. So much for being Prime. I guess Prime Platinum is gonna be pushed soon.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

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.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

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.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Yeah. My wishlist always had options to sort by all those fields. And still does.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Mine hasn't. Maybe I'm in a Beta group - if so, look forward to having your lists all jumbled up.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

WTF? Wishlist is back to not being able to sort by price again. WTF is Amazon doing!?!?

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Mine is still sortable by price.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Same with mine. What do you guys actually see? Mine looks like this.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

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.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Day Eight: Still no sorting by price. Welcome to your new Amazon, customers.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

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.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Amazon does a lot of randomly chosen focus-group A/B testing on its site. They are testing to see if you make fewer or more purchases while changing the options.

It could come back at any time.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

All lists sortable by price here.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

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?

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I was going to try returning via locker the other day but the ones near my house were full. :(

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I've done it a few times, having stuff shipped to a locker location at a grocery store when I knew I wasn't going to be home. Pretty simple and straightforward.

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

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

I've done it. Mostly because I'm very untrusting of getting packages delivered to my location. Now that I've gotten to know everyone, I don't worry about it like I used to.

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.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
 

Is there any other kind?

I work around a lot of enterprise-level user-facing platforms (I think I have that term right). It's rare to go a day without at least one of the programs letting me down. And sending me into a fit of rage.
