Amazon Prime shipping is a real crapshoot

[thekev]

We very, very rarely have any kind of shipping issues with Amazon, Prime, or even pre-Prime. Been using them since 1999, and usually have around 100 or so orders a year (probably average ~2 items per).

Hahaha, holy smokes:

That is more than I have ordered from Amazon since it came into existence.

Hahaha, we might need to go to an AA support group

Oh, let's see, in that period we had an anniversary, a birthday, and 3 monthly orders of some recurring consumables, it's like 10 items I think (so that's 30 items for just those subscriptions).

Admitting you have a problem is the first step ...

We do so many small orders, even stuff that's about the same price, and readily available at a store like Target. Like shaving cream/razors, packing tape, etc.

If you look at all the things you buy monthly, particularly consumables - and you hit depletion on several items (like my aforementioned example), it adds up!

Speaking of, I just ordered this - from Amazon - for the Tesla

We push the 60-80 mark per year I’m estimating. Some of the shipping is still fast since COVID but it’s not reliable like it used to be. It’s hard to imagine going without Amazon now. I’d cancel Netflix first.

That's what I named my robot vacuum. Bender is nothing if not ubiquitous and versatile.

I have considered canceling my Prime but when it comes down to actually hitting that button I back down lol idk why.

They're fine for the most part. I just noticed the last year has been a hot mess. My neighbor gets a lot of my packages. I'm glad he's an honest guy and will bring them by. I ordered an iPhone leather case once and it said "delivered" and they had a picture of it inside someone's garage. My garage wasn't open. So I went outside and it was in my neighbors garage. He was putting Christmas lights up so his garage door was open.

I like that they have a really good return policy. And also when packages go missing I just file a claim and they reimburse me without question for the most part. I don't have to jump through hoops for a refund with a missing package. I have thought of cancelling because I don't really watch Prime Video and I could probably live without 2 day shipping because their shipping has been all over the place anyway. My subscription ends in August. I may cancel and see how it goes after

I would have gone with a transformers reference there, since they could introduce one that transforms into a vacuum cleaner. Since they never make these things too on the nose, it would probably end up being called horsefly or something like that.

He also blows.

Reference is at 0:44 and onward, since that always seems be stripped from embedded links.
