amazon constantly promising me next day delivery and then adjusting it back to the following day after I place the order.
Don't tell me I can get it tomorrow if I can't fucking get it tomorrow. I'll go to the damn store!
- I cancel the order every time they pull that.lemmy_k

- the only way amazon will stop fucking people is if they do actually go to the store, rather than threaten to.Fax_Benson

Stop buying from Amazon, people.Nairn - i don't have a car, so things like pet supplies are principally what I buy from Amazon. Petco does have free delivery now so maybe I'll stop...sarahfailin
- fuck. amazon. There's literally zero reason to use them.section_014
- I love Amazon's hub. No need to go to the fucking post office.i_was
- Nairn, tell me where I can get a 1 gallon can of oil based varnished in my state besides Amazon. Or a box of 1000 T15 bugle head screws?lemmy_k
- There are no other retailers in your state or means of ordering from the manufacturer? is Amazon literally the only internet company available? I suspect not.Nairn
- I mean - you're in California, the world's fourth largest economy, home of the internet, and you're telling me Amazon's the only place you can buy from? Crikey.Nairn
- I admit - I've used them for three purchases from companies that use them as their storefront - twice for the same last minute order - over the last decade.Nairn
- amazon will kill everything if you let it.Fax_Benson
- I wish I didn't have to use Amazon, but with the ongoing death of retail, my local options are forcing me to go online more and more. :/monospaced
- There's nothign wrong with online - it's often a lifeline for small retail shops to sell further afield (wasn't that half the point of the internet?).Nairn
- Around here, when the local shop closes, so does their online storefront in my experience. Amazon, sadly, is a last bastion for so many things, and I hate that.monospaced
- there's a reason they're closing. paying a non-amazon premium is worth it in the long run, otherwise the internet will go the way of the high street.Fax_Benson
- amazon is the last bastion because it has killed everything else. that's its business model.Fax_Benson
- Nairn, the state of CA has decided retailers can't stock 1gal cans. No one else will ship. You could always deliver to me from another state for free.lemmy_k
- That sounds like a specific edge case that could probably still be solved by not shopping with Amazon, even if it costs a bit more.Nairn
- Sure, look into that for me. You can pay the difference.lemmy_k
- lol, ok. Enjoy.Nairn
- It's so frustrating that I can't find a decent toy or kids clothing store within 30 miles. I don't blame amazon directly, but I'm sure they're partly responsiblmonospaced
- kinda sick of Gap/Old Navy/Carter's shitemonospaced
- Sounds like someone could make some money selling 0.9Gal cans online in CA... ;)
Sorry, that IS a weird outlier case, so fair enough - buy THAT from Amazon.Nairn - Just.. don't buy ALL your shit from Amazon.
Please!
xNairn - @mono - don't you live in ... New fucking York?! How can you not find places to buy shit? How bad are things over there?Nairn
- It's sorta bad. I left the city a year ago and moved a few miles out into the suburbs. Retail took a hit long before covid, but the virus ended a lot more.monospaced
- We have places to buy shit. But it's increasingly inconvenient, requiring longer drives than I'd like. Going into manhattan is a slight chore now.monospaced
