Poll of the Day > Amazon keeps fucking with my orders

(+) Yeah! (+)

second time in a row it arrived "later than expected"

Cancelling my prime free trial u______u
---

The free trial is the worst. I got at least four packages late during that. When I subscribed for real much later, I got everything on time. Its a pretty shitty tactic to enrage trial users, and Im sure we arent alone.

I only back-pedalled because they gave me $5 every time something was late and I wanted it for other things.

I think Amazon is going through a business rut right now or something. I've been shopping with them for 2 years and recently I've had late items, and a few items haven't been in stock that normally would be, pre-ordered items weren't in stock even 1 whole month after release date, etc. I'm seeing recent frequent complaints across many Gamefaqs boards right now.
I'm sure they'll pull through eventually though, after the holidays at least (hopefully). They just need to get their shit together. Amazon is still the best online shopping site there is.

so, amazon isn't to blame if your items don't arrive on time.

that's fedex, ups, or usps. not amazon.

once the box leaves the warehouse, it's out of their hands. the most they can do is call the shipping company and tell them to not deliver it and return it to them.

This. It's our fault (UPS).

UPS delivered to the wrong house last week, i wasn't pleased. had to send an disappointment letter to amazon.

Its almost as if there are a billion people ordering things online for some big present giving holiday

Amazon straight up stole $100 from me with that "free trial". It automatically renews, "not free". No notification or warning.

Thieves. They know what they're doing.

Also, you would have to be spending something like $1000 on Amazon annually to make that worth it.

Well it does normally say when you sign up.

Id imagine you contacted their customer service and got the service cancelled and refunded at least.

By signing up, you agree to the Amazon Prime Terms and authorize us to charge your default payment method or another payment method on file after your 30-day free trial. Your Amazon Prime membership continues until cancelled. If you do not wish to continue for $10.99/month + any taxes, you may cancel any time by visiting Your Account.

It says this right below the "Start your 30-day free trial" button.

Yeah

All small.

I did manage to get a refund, though. Somehow.

Like I said, no one reads that crap.

Plus that was a long time ago, it might have been even more obscure.

I did, because I'm not stupid. Read before you sign up for shit.

I'm sorry, Edgeworth. I was a bit too harsh there.

My last order was lost in transit...

I wish Amazon didn't have such great customer service and didn't refund Yellow for being a moron. Not their fault he failed to do his due diligence.

I read that text but I thought it was like 8 bucks or something >:(

This is the same train of thought that people who get season passes and the like, then complain that they didn't at all the dlc day one. No company has ever done this and all free trials that I know of, charge you at the end. To assume different is silly.
---

Why doesn't it read?!
---

I just assumed when it said free it meant free, you know. I'm typically pretty good with my money.

I pay $7 a month for my Android phone.

Whether or not I fell for it they clearly try to get you for it.

I get that, but that's just how a majority (basically all free trials) are if it is a subscription based service. It is rare to see one that actually cancel the service.

Rule of thumb, if a free trial asks for your credit card information, assume it will charge you at the end of it. Just so you know for next time.
