But I bet they aren’t going to pay their delivery drivers or warehouse workers more, though.
They now get an extra two pee bottles allotted per day.
I believe you mean to say “per week”.
I usually “collect” some products before buying them, so I’m always above their limit. I am totally not getting their Prime scam.
I recently bought 3 products for 50 bucks and had to pay 10 bucks extra for shipping since 3 different vendors. We really need a federated amazon.
This IS federated amazon. What you mean is centralized Amazon. Just make sure to buy products from the same store.
Just make sure anything you order is either “fulfilled by Amazon” or “Ships from Amazon” and you should avoid that. I personally don’t order anything that isn’t shipped by Amazon (either through fulfillment or otherwise).
And if it’s only on 3rd party and no import, amazon aint getting money.
i only shop there when they give us prime for free. sometimes (more frequently the last couple years) it’s only a discounted shorter-term trial–so we don’t bother, but the last time it was a full month–free. yea, we used it a little. and binged most everything worth watching off video, too.
I just sign up for Prime free trials. You can cancel them immediately but still get the full month. I only use Amazon sporadically, though - a half-dozen times a year at most - when I just can’t find the thing I need anywhere else for a sensible price.
Cool, are they gonna start actually shipping products in 2 days again, or are they going to at least stop advertising it?
I’ve been getting my stuff next day for a while now, must depend on where you are.
I always get my stuff spot on when it’s supposed to arrive from Amazon. Within 24 hours most of the time.
It’s going to get so much worse.
I guess exploiting their employees wasnt enough of a cost savings
I mean, how else can Bezos afford his third support support yatch?
You know, the yatch which provides supplies for the bigger yatch which provides supplies to his main superyatch? Man’s gotta live.
I just bought… once? From Amazon, ca. 2007. Then I learned how their warehouse workers are treated and boycotted them since then.
Who do you buy from then that you know has better warehouse worker conditions?
I’ve been reading first hand comments since the Digg days, and can be summed up consistently as:
No prior warehouse experience - doom and gloom unfair work conditions, Amazon evil
Prior warehouse experience - pretty typical, better than average, but metrics are annoying mental overhead.
So I ask with sincerity - do you know that the places you shop app are actually better, or are you just anti Amazon because you have heard bad things, but don’t know about others?
I assume that person is simply making it up. They did not learn about the working conditions in ~2007. I assume the first articles about that came many years later. Google seems to have removed the custom date range, so I can’t check. Feels like that came up around 2015. wiki names 2011

You need to switch to desktop mode.
I bought a book from Amazon on 2007… Then I didn’t buy anything else from them afterwards, because… I didn’t need everythign else from them?
Then this article came out (in 2011): https://www.wumingfoundation.com/giap/2011/09/feticismo-della-merce-digitale-e-sfruttamento-nascosto-i-casi-amazon-e-apple/ and I decided to delete my Amazon account.
I don’t need to make up anything. Believe me or don’t believe me. I couldn’t care less.
I’ve heard Costco is decent to workers and the prices are good, so I try that when I can. There are a few other places that I like for specific items (Chapman’s Icecream)
Besos could easily have the best paid workers, with the best conditions, the best customer service, require delivery that cares, ensure the best quality goods, and still be over a hundred thousand times richer than a millionaire, but he doesn’t. He wants the extra money more. So much power, so much money, so much squeezing the normal folk just a bit harder for a bit more profit.
What a worthless off topic response, that ignored the question, and just went for a weak ass insult. 👏 bravo.
Buy from Congo.
LOL, so much rage in your reply.
I’m anti Amazon because of bad things. I buy stuff through smaller retailer from my country, even if they cost a bit more/shipping is delayed one or two days.
I can’t obviously know “how much evil” other companies are, but in the meanwhile I can pretty much avoid those that are definitely “very evil”.
If that’s “so much rage”, you’re very sensitive.
I stopped buying from Amazon a while back. The service went downhill quickly and the prices are not really competitive anymore, and for the few items they are cheaper I’d rather source it from a more reputable company than give my money to these fucks.
Amazon ad, remove
This just means I order less frequently from them.
This isn’t new …
This fucking thread 🤣🤣🤣
Amazon is evil for raising shipping on their least valuable customers, they are monsters. SCAM!
It’s going to get soooooooo much worse.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
