Feb 20 I ordered several items from Amazon. 4 days later I got an email that one of the items was out of stock, and they would ship it as soon as possible. 4 days after that I got another email regarding the same item which said it was out of stock and they didn't know when they would ship it.
After that I went briefly insane. I went to Amazon's site and tried to find where to contact them. I was frustrated that it was not easier to directly communicate with them. Every button I clicked on wanted to send me to another generic menu of options instead of someone I could tell my problem to.
So I found what I thought was the right place and wrote a short but honest and scathing email:
I want this order cancelled and would also like a negative report for the company behind
this.
In this day and age, it is absolutely ridiculous that 8 DAYS after the order was placed
it has not been shipped.
I will definitely be doing as much local shopping as possible and using Amazon only as an
absolute last resort to buy items I simply cannot purchase locally.
You can thank whatever crappy little hydro supply shop dropped the ball for your loss of
my business.
After clicking send, I realised it was going to the hydro shop not Amazon. So now I'm really pissed and keep clicking and clicking and eventually find the right place to send that message to Amazon.
I get up today and have like 20 emails from 3 of the 5 companies my items were coming from, as well as Amazon.
Aparrently Amazon has refunded the money from those 3 orders, as well as 2 of the 3 companies are RE-SENDING stuff I already have, one of them via FED-EX! Fucking ididots.
Sounds great huh? I bet this ends up an absolute fucking mess, with them trying to charge me for items and or shipping.
Guess we'll see how it goes.
