Like, you order on, say, Wednesday, and it says the fastest available time is Saturday, then you pull up the page on Thursday, and it says theres a same-day option for later in the day, and even the free option is now Friday (instead of Saturday). And the funny thing is, you can’t even cancel the earlier order, that now has a later delivery time. Wtf is this? Bezos trolling?

(This isn’t a “lets trash amazon” post, I just can’t understand why companies do this weird shit, I always thought order earlier = arrive faster, this is just… weird)

    For me it randomly changes the delivery day after the purchase. Like:

    • “You’ll receive it tomorrow”
    • buy it
    • “Nah fuck you, it’s Saturday”

    Oh and wanted to cancel amazon prime because I’m tired of their bs and guess what: Both app and site sends you to a blank page when you try to cancel, you have to call support to do it. Fuck amazon

      Yep hate this. It never errs the other way. It’s always over optimistic at the time of sale. Sometimes it really creates a problem if speed is what you need and the whole reason you chose that product with those options.

      My country has very good consumer laws regarding this. If you in any officially contact them, either to a company address through a letter, phone, email or chat, they have to legally process it. I’ve toyed around with the idea to contact some shitty companies in the worst manner possible but haven’t gotten around to it lol

        The problem is: Calling should be the last thing to do if for some reasons the process went wrong or there are technical problems, not because Scamazon decides to give you white page because they dont want you to cancel

      For me they quoted next day, but it took 5 since they had already shipped the one in the close delivery center by the time they had processed my order.
