Fuck amazon

I'd take it over driving for Amazon that's for sure.

I just saw some amazon drivers while I was visiting Los Angeles and felt bad for them. Their tiny vans were absolutely stuffed with packages and probably have to move so much shit around just to find what they need. We dont have amazon drivers in Hawaii so they make USPS workers deliver amazon stuff on sundays, and they are all super stressed out and under staffed.

Some of the review for cannazyme mention it and that they tried to dissolve paper with it and nothing happened. Idk if thats an accurate way to check if your cannazyme is legit or not but I would think some cannabis additives are easier to fake than others.

that what this bottle is, cannazyme. Im not opening it though, its going right back.

By the way think those are expiration dates...here my other bottles of canna. I got the bottle in 2nd pic before the date. Obviously the 1st pic and 3rd pic are exp dates.

If that's Cannazyme I'd think it's the expiration date. I use to use Hygrozyme and I'm almost positive the date on those were the expiration date. That's something where the date matters. Someone could have bought old shit for cheap and are selling it as good shit.

I believe I got some of these at a hydro shop near me. Ya there different fonts and in different areas of the bottle the smaller text date in the 2nd pic doesn't have the dates the 1st and 3rd pic have which is on the right of the bottle. The bottles in the 1st and 3rd pics dont have the date like its written in the 2nd pic at all.

It seems like shipping has gone to shit...I pretty sure the dude might have dropped the bottle over my fence bacuse my driveway gate was closed. My whole yard has nice fence going around it-which is almost an acre and it has a gate at end of the driveway which is basically the opening to the fence. We usually keep the gate closed so the dogs can roam around... anyways I didn't see the dude open the gate...I dunno though he might have. Anyway when the gate is closed I've seen amazon drivers chuck, literally fucking launch the packages over the fence. I try and track so I know when they are going to be here to have the gate open, but its like, just open the gate, my cocker spaniel if out is going to lick you to death, I understand though they don't want the dog to get out.

A few years back in the neighborhood I lived in, one of the usps delivery dudes told me a couple of time that he wanted to shoot my neighbors dogs because they were always barking when he came by. I talked about it with another usps guy that did my route and he said that that dude was off his rocker. He said that that dude was delivering to some old lady one day and she was walking her tinny ass chiwawa on a leash and the dog yapped at him like they do and he yelled at her to "keep that fucking dog away from me or I'll shoot it". Moral of the story, I'd rather have my shit tossed over the fence than have to deal with some dirtbag for harming my dogs. But yeah, Amazon is just a typical heartless blood sucker!
Edit: Some dog must have touched him in the bad place when he was a youngster!

chill on the arguing

Trust me, we are on the same page, I know from personal experience.

I've been shopping at Amazon since the beginning in the 90's when they only sold books. Since then I have purchased thousands of items and spent tens of thousands of dollars with them. In all that time there have only been two instances where I got burned and those were for small dollar items. One was a pack of vegetable seeds and the other was an LED flashlight. Both items were shipped by seller. As @SSHZ said, stick with "Ships by Amazon".

You hit the nail on the head with this description. I'm rural as hell and disabled so going to the nearest big town to pick up grow supplies is hard, some days it's just not possible. I can't stand the way they ship though and have gotten exhausted of complaining to UPS and them about it. I'd love to have a local hydro shop in my little local town and maybe with legalization I'll get lucky and someone will open one up.

I totally get where your coming from, especially being an older disabled Veteran. I would price shop at growgreenmi.com, they have had real good prices, especially in their "dank deals" section, and I haven't paid a penny for shipping on anything that I've ordered. Amazon has good prices on stuff I use, cheaper than the local hydro shop, but grow green has beaten them both on 95% of the things I've purchased. Hate to see a fellow Vet spend more than they really have to in order to get supplies.

whenever i buy stuff off amazon i make sure its being sold by the manufacturer of the item and if its not i usually pass. if its General hydro nutes i want i make sure its the GH seller on amazon.

Tons of brick and mortar shops sell on Amazon too. I get a lot of books on there and I always prioritize their stores over an Amazon warehouse.

Also never had an issue getting refunds or replacements. Shit happens sometimes, and by the time you finished writing this thread, you could have a replacement on the way.

Oh and for shipping it back. I don't know about everyone but around here there are Amazon lockers everywhere. To return an item all you do is go online, select the location of the locker you want to return the product to, and drop it off. They give you a code. Just punch in the code and a door pops open. Put the item inside, close the door, and walk away. You're refund will be credited by the next day. You can also use them as a location to have an item shipped to as well. Just choose that option and select the location most convenient to you during the purchase process.

I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon. I love the selection, prices, and prime shipping. I hate putting money in Bezos pockets instead of local business owners. But the reality is most local businesses don't carry what I'm looking for, so Amazon to the rescue.

My latest Amazon trick is to look for "used" items, which really usually just means that someone bought it, didn't like it and returned it. I recently bought a "used" paid of MX boots that are normally over $400, which I got for basically half-price. They still had the tags and plastic wrap on them. Fucking score for a pair of Alpinestar Tech 7's. The boots did come one day late, so I complained to Amazon and they gave me a $25 voucher. Thank you @SSHZ daughter!

I got a free roomba and a nice wireless security camera from amazon because UPS in Hawaii would not accept returns that contained lithium batteries that were shipped with 2 day air. I kept asking amazon to just give me a ground service and they said they couldnt, so finally they just told me to keep the item. Now I take up every little grievance with customer service because fuck jeff bezos.

That’s what I did when I accidentally got a tent a size up from what I intended, they accept things back and make it pretty darn easy with a ups store drop off, plus you don’t even have to pack it up nicely or anything they do it all for you..
