Anyone else remember when they used to give you a refund if it didn't come in 2 days? Lol
Yea that was to kill small businesses that couldn’t compete.
And now that they've done that (or acquired them), poof! You get it when you get it! A familiar pattern.
My favorite is I ordered dog food. It was scheduled for 2 weeks (with prime). It arrived next day. Amazon still said it wasn't shipped yet. To this day "expected delivery date is currently unknown" in the Amazon app. I ordered it in May. It does give me the option to request refund but I haven't done it as the food was actually delivered and this seems like some employee forgot to scan the sticker at some point.
They would give u the refund tho.
Yeah but I did get the food.
I applaud your morality, but have you considered "fuck Amazon"?
I get it, but one also has to preserve their own character so to avoid becoming what we detest in others. For me, telling the lie would not be compatible with who I wish to be.
I did, but I accidentally typed fucked amazonian woman so now I'm distracted...
instructions unclear.
penis is now lodged in the charging port of a rivian delivery van. send reinforcements
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and ~~weak~~ bruised.
I never thought I'd die this way... but I'd always really hoped!
I'll accept death by snoo-snoo
*spongy and bruised
Is it amazon getting fucked over or the seller 🤔
I had this exact delivery tracking weirdness on amazon and the seller was another big company... got a refund and have zero regrets.
I worry about that hitting the small sellers on there sometimes, like I ordered something through Amazon recently that very clearly came from a 3rd party small business and it's a quality product. It got mixed up when I returned something else, and they were like "just keep the refund for both" :/ but I'm worried the 3rd party won't get paid for it now
It's probably the biggest dog food brand in the us
In your case then yeah get that refund lol!
It's just a scrappy bookstore startup bro, they have to use bots because they can't hire customer service reps fast enough, they need every dollar they have to get past their angel funding phase, they only sell the highest quality items at low prices... Why are you laughing? This is a serious issue! They hired someone to engineer a button to order Tide. This is the future, THE FUTURE! WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE FUTURE?!
I think Jeff Bozo will be OK, lol
But how will he afford his fifth mega yacht?
But they'd still give you the refund bro
