Amazon Customer Service has become awful
Amazon Customer Service has become awful
Nothing as complicated as business accounts for me, but the failure rate on deliveries has increased for me over the last ~12 months. To where if I need a thing with some urgency, I am back to finding and buying it locally because Amazon next day shipping or whatever x timeframe shipping is not reliable.
Quick shipping with reliable ETA was my main reason for paying for Prime, so I’ll let it lapse at the end of the current subscription. I certainly wasn’t paying for access to Prime video.
At least I’m not the idiot buying such urgently needed shit that I feel the need to complain about it on Lemmy when it gets delayed in transit. Shocked Pikachu face?? Delayed in transit? No shit that winter snow storm really delayed my order didn’t it?
I wonder how many late orders it takes until someone decides to buy their urgently needed crap at a normal store like a normal person.
Dude I think you need to get some meds for all that rage.
Maybe they have some on Amazon, I heard they have fantastic next day shipping as it’s such an urgently needed item!
Look around, it’s corporations everywhere. The Internet you are using? Corporation. The device you connect to the Internet? Corporation. The place you buy your food? Corporation. The actual food itself? Mostly corporation. The toilet you shit on? Corporation. First it was delayed shipping your mad about. Now your mad about corporations. Can tell your like 15 years old. Don’t worry kid you’ll get it figured out soon.
You’re talking about “bezos and musk bootlickers” when you’re doing the same shit? You’re bootlicking your local businesses who buy all their inventory from some corporation? Wanna get away from corporations? Move to some remote town with a population or 5000 in some other country maybe in a communist country would suit you well.
Amazon says one day shipping and more and more frequently fails to meet that.
When my cable company sucks, I look for a competing service to switch to. Similarly, I’m shifting from Amazon because of their failure to meet their own commitments, hoping I find an alternate that is more reliable. I am not being inconsistent.
Go ahead and defend Amazon though. You do you.
This almost certainly depends on where you are, I can reliably get normal prime shipping or even same and next day for 99% of non-specialty items
Not that Amazon making service worse for some is acceptable, but that it’s not universal
But will it show up?
In the last 30 days we’re 50-50 that something will even arrive – at the local drop point, at the secure package receipt on the ground floor, at the local post office; 50-50 across the board.
I threw a RAID disk but prime said “4 days” so I bit. 2 weeks later it’s still in the wind but “out for delivery”. By then I bought one local, but got COVID on the way home from the shops. I’ve almost recovered.
I canceled my sub when they announced that paid Prime memberships would still have to view ads.
I use it exceedingly rarely now, thankfully, and without a sub you have to wait a week for something to arrive anyway, so I just expect it to be shit service.
