Should Amazon start giving refunds or at least Amazon credit for stopping the "two Day" delivery?

It's part of the reason people buy a Prime membership and Amazon is now making a shit load of money off of the pandemic. Seems to be the fair thing to do.

Yes. They should wave all subscription fees since they’re in violation of the terms of the contracts. Not doing so will result in a class action.

They won't do it until there is massive pressure. Unfortunately if a largely followed person brings it up on Twitter people will scream asking how dare they care about their 2 day shipping at a time like this. Prime is way too expensive for them to just toss "non-essential items" in the delayed bin and ship whenever they feel like it.

by Anonymousreply 9April 21, 2020 4:36 AM

Amazon fucked up. This truly shows the total incompetence of Amazon. Customer service is shut down, yet other businesses have their customer service employees work from home. They have arbitrarily decided what is essential and what isn't essential. I ordered something in March and still have not received it. You are pulling things from a warehouse, adding a non essential item is not going effect other people getting their "essential" items.

by Anonymousreply 10April 21, 2020 4:37 AM

There's no real incompetence, troll R10. Amazon's CSRs can't work from home because many of them are in 2nd- and 3rd-world countries where they don't have the infrastructure to work from home.

This unprecedented shock to the economy is going to create strange results. Nobody was expecting this. I'm still getting most of my stuff within 2-3 days. The only time I don't is when it's not available.

But you're wrong again R10, because it isn't only your pulls, it's all the other pulls by everybody else plus yours, that would then lead to problems with the maxed-out distribution system.

My long term Prime membership comes up for renewal at the end of May. I've decided to not renew it. I've become more and more dismayed at how Amazon operates and treats its employees. Plus I'm just not ordering enough any longer to warrant having it.

I did get my case of San Pellegrino yesterday, however, which wasn't supposed to be delivered until today. They've also bumped up my light bulbs by a week.

by Anonymousreply 107April 22, 2020 4:28 PM

The pandemic has revealed Amazon for the company that they are. They don't care if your package arrives, arrives damaged, incomplete or otherwise useless. This is shown by how they treat their customers, like those who have called, emailed, chatted (I didn't know Amazon offered chat, but after using chat for such issues with other companies for years, I can say it's only slightly more useful than opening a window and shouting at the Amazon warehouse 1500 miles away), filled out their stupid forms, and finally, giving up and tossing Amazon's latest piece of Chinese crap in the trash.

They treat "their" employees worse than disposable. I put "their" in quotes because, like all of big corporate America, they actually aren't the employer of record for the vast majority of "their" employees. Amazon may own the actual company that "employs" these workers, but that doesn't make Amazon their "employer." This is all important when it comes to liability, responsibility, and accountability. When the workers and their families start suing Amazon for the unsafe working conditions, the employer of record will declare bankruptcy, and Amazon itself will escape culpability. Thanks, Republicans, for weakening employment law to allow for this kind of chicanery. Again.

Remember when 60 Minutes (I think) did the story on Amazon in which they described employees crying at their desks from stress, overworked and uncompensated, employees admitted to having to hire people in India to perform Amazon employment tasks for them, at [italic]the employee's[/italic] expense? Bezos said, "That's not the Amazon I know." Yeah, of course we all know Bezos lives in a bubble. If I were the richest man in the world, I'd live in a bubble, too. That doesn't excuse his company from liability, responsibility or negligence.

Bezos is quoted as saying "Your margin is my opportunity." What he means is that he wants to put small business out of business. We all came to realize that Walmart has destroyed main street; now, Amazon is destroying all retail. Two-day (and even faster) delivery is a shiny object that has dazzled consumers world wide. And, as we've seen, built on a house of cards. Meanwhile, local businesses are struggling to afford the rent and utilities, let alone paying people to work there. Say goodbye to Summer employment for kids; those jobs are now "professional" and held by people in their 20s and 30s. Hell, I just got a delivery from a local company, and my driver rode up in a newer Lincoln Continental and was not a day younger than 50... years.

The thing of it is that we're all going to be sorry when the only choice is Amazon, and we're hurtling toward that future at breakneck speed. Tales of Amazon's incompetence combined with market power are already a problem — this thread shows it (aside from two flamers belching at each other) — and it's only going to get worse.

Trick is you contact Amazon using "Help." Then click the button where it offers an immediate call back via cell.

Ordered a used copy of "Lion" from Goodwill Books. One week later the company said they didn't have any copies in stock when I placed my order. Then they claimed that they might eventually be getting a copy in a future shipment but that there was no guarantee.

Re-ordered "Lion" from Thrift Books and very quickly got another copy. Gave the latter company an excellent review, and the former one a bad ie do not use review.

YES. The 2 day shipping is just stupid. There is no need for it at all. Bezos uses abusive and dangerous conditions for our Americans workers to do 2-day shipping. Bezos is just bring slavery back.

Also, why the fuck did bezos dump regular shipping on toilet paper? He was price gouging during an pandemic that why.

FUCK THIS GUY. HE is a complete SOCIOPATH.

Can someone just answer a simple question?

Is Amazon customer service open, that I can call and ask to renegotiate my yearly rate due to the delayed shipping times?

It was brought up earlier in this thread.

Before rageful quarantined queens in their mom's basement devolved into calling everyone a cunt.

Yes, r112. Google Amazon contact number. I number should pop up to call.

R112 You have to start a chat online with them first. If they can't resolve your issue they well take your number and have someone call you back. They called me while I was still on chat with the guy. No one is there to answer their customer service phones.

r111 Nice idea but Amazon is a middleman on those pay movies. They keep like 20-30% of the rental cost. They can't afford to let people rent there for free. The Amazon Prime selections are purchased as a package--one cost for a specific time window like 6 months regardless of whether it gets 1 view or 100 million views (although the distributor makes an assumption about popularity when it comes to pricing that rental to Amazon). Unless its an Amazon show or movie, in which case they own it and are charging other services around the globe those fees.
