I had a long streak where I never saw those adhesive stickers or papers inside the envelopes.

But you have to buy over $35 of items at BestBuy.com to get free shipping and only $25 at Amazon |

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
I stopped shopping at amazon months ago and cancelled Prime then. My brother received a $200 amazon gift card as part of his work bonus and he gave it to me. I used it to order a CD box set yesterday on my parents account since they still have Prime. It showed that I would get it today when ordering and when I tracked it earlier it said the driver was five stops away. Now it says there is a delay and to come back later for an update. Fucking idiots.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
Pre ordered Rocky 4k box set about 6 weeks ago and still haven't received it even though the last time I looked it was available for next day delivery.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
Anyone else with Prime having issues with slow shipping? I seem to rarely get the two day shipping or even close.
I ordered an in-stock Blu-ray yesterday and it isn’t estimated to arrive until March 22nd which is five business days from me ordering. It just irritates me a bit because that’s a selling point of Prime and Amazon hasn’t been delivering on it for a while now. |
Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
I can't say that I have seen that. But I also live in a high population area, the D.C. / Baltimore corridor. And AIUI, at there's least one big fullfillment center close to me.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
No issues for me. Sometimes I can order something as late as 5-6pm and get it the next day.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
Seems like more and more 3rd party sellers are taking over amazon.
What's more, not only do these sellers not play by the same rules sometimes (charging shipping for returns, or no returns, no free shipping, etc), amazon doesn't make it too apparent that it's a 3rd party you're buying from - they're kinda hiding that info more and more. |

Amazon sold and shipped https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...d6172d529f.pnghttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...4f4f6e5ca0.pnghttps://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...bb7ad93fdf.png The 3rd party shipped by Amazon also gets free returns w/free return shipping. The 3rd party sold/shipped likely doesn't have free returns or a prepaid return label (though they *might* refund return shipping). I don't expect free shipping from a MP vendor unless it's "Fulfilled by Amazon." Some do it, most do not. If it's not a "Fulfilled by Amazon" shipment then I carefully look at the vendor's return policy before purchasing and weigh that against my desire to own the product for the listed price + shipping considering any such restrictions. I've still been burned a time or two and it's made me far more cautious with a "new to me" vendor causing me to ignore most of them. I just wish Amazon offered a search filter that excludes all but Amazon as the vendor. |

If it's "Fulfilled by Amazon" then they have to abide by the same return policies as Amazon, so the experience is essentially the same as buying from Amazon. Very easy to do returns for any reason, and usually free return shipping. So, for searching, just choose the Amazon Prime filter option.

Not always - sometimes the details can be different, like proving free shipping on returns that aren't damaged, like, say, shoes that don't fit.

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
Not really a complaint but finally had to, well chose to, cancel a small order due to multiple delays in shipping. It's only a cheap USB SD card reader (Transcend RDF5) but originally it was to be delivered no later than Wednesday the 15th then delayed to today and now upwards to the 28th of the month. I finally took the choice of simply cancelling the order. I admit the price was good but not if it never ships. -rolleyes-

Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
This was a first for me. I've had Amazon delivery drivers drop off packages using their personal vehicles. But this time, the driver had their *child*, about 10 years old, wearing an Amazon vest, drop off the package. The girl got out of the car, ran up to my door, dropped off the package, then ran back to the car.

That's why I said "usually". There are some items where return shipping isn't free, but on "Fulfilled by Amazon" orders, that's at the discretion of Amazon, not the 3rd-party seller, whose individual policies vary widely. For all intents and purposes, the policies and experience of "sold and shipped by Amazon" orders and "Fulfilled by Amazon" orders are identical. That's why, if you want to avoid varied and uncertain third-party seller policies, the "Prime" search filter checkbox is an effective filter for that.
Why can't I determine and default specific options? If you like specific settings for *every* search you must select them *every time* and there are times when those options just aren't available. That part I don't get at all... and it's all based on how you word the search. It's often better and easier to use Google for searching Amazon... and that's just a bad solution. |

Is it possible the girl could have been a dwarf / midget? |
Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
Could have also just been a kid who wanted to spend some time doing what their parents do. I'd help out both of my parents at their jobs occasionally in order to spend time with them. Wouldn't have wanted them to get fired because someone misconstrued what looked like OMG CHILD LABOR!! For that matter, both of my kids sometimes go to my wife's work for a few hours, and sometimes help her out, too.
FWIW, I wouldn't have my kid deliver the package themselves. Ride along with me? Yeah, maybe. |
Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
If their other options were leave the child at home alone or pay the absurd price for child care, I'd probably do the same. I'm sure the child loved putting on the vest and acting like they were doing real work.

On a side note they're going to start putting a warning message on stuff that is returned a lot: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/techn...ts/ar-AA19bKHV |
Re: The complaining about Amazon thread
^Interesting. Although, the product they mention in the article doesn't seem to exist on the amazon website.
