treeduck Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm just about to make a purchase on amazon and I made sure to have enough in my basket to ensure free delivery (as usual). All items are "in stock" and yet the "estimated delivery" is 19 January. 19 January?? For in stock items? What are they doing manufacturing the items themselves? I could get my items quicker if I traveled all the way to the amazon warehouse by ant sledge. These guys are starting to act like they're the only game in town but they aren't! :madra: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Amazon is the devil! They are killing jobs, buying out everything, and monopolizing the industry. Mark my words.... Amazon will take over just about everything and it won't be good for anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are becoming way too powerful. I know some inside industry people that are quite alarmed by what they are doing. The have the retailer Target in there sights as another giant they are going after. To be that big a player on the world stage is not a good thing in the long run.

blueschica Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 But seriously, I have noticed the same thing with Amazon US. At Thanksgiving I ordered some towels and a blanket way before I needed them. They were promised in two days. I got them FIVE days later, after all our guests had left. They extended my Prime by a month after I beefed about it but it was a big pain. And yesterday afternoon I was looking at something and they said 2 day delivery would be Friday afternoon. How is Tuesday to Friday two days? I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon because I worry about the same things Tick does; but if anything, guilt over using Amazon has made me an avid small store shopper here in our town. I buy a lot of things from family owned shops; it seems like they have all made an effort to have unique merchandise, free gift wrapping etc. that you don't get on Amazon. I think it's the chain stores like JC Penney, etc. that don't really offer stand out things that are endangered. We have an independent bookstore here (the only one in the county) that a lot of people go to because of the owner's knowledge and because they have a really cute cat! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 AND...How it now when I search for an image on google images all the relevant images are watermarked and generally f***ed up? If I go to advanced search and get free to use images only, I get NOTHING to do with what I typed in the search box? Google and amazon = Big Brother 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 FYI, the "xx day shipping" usually means from the day it actually goes out the door. The stuff that happens prior to that isn't included in that time frame, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Another thing about amazon too, if you put something in your basket for later when you come back you often find the price has gone up and sometimes wayyyy up. And prices have gone up in general on this site the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
