Amazon Strikes Yet Again

Second Post of the Day

Believe it or not, Amazon has messed up two more of my orders - making a total of six problems I've had with them in less than a month!

To refresh your memories:

1) An envelope containing jump rings to make sleeve buttons arrived empty. Still no refund or replacement.

2) An order of buttons also arrived as an empty package. After 18 days, I finally got a replacement set.

3) My favorite shampoo and conditioner arrived but were more than a year past the date of their expiration. Amazon said they'd send a replacement set.

4) The silicon mold I ordered to make Elsie Mae's Christmas ornament never arrived, although Amazon argued with me about that. The package was empty and had never been sealed. I am keeping an eye on my account to be sure I get my refund.

Well, yesterday was a double Amazon doozy:

5) The replacement shampoo and conditioner set arrived and were almost a year past their expiration dates, just like the first set.

And last but not least,

6) A package meant for me and shown as delivered did not arrive. This is not my front porch!

Guess which box I clicked for feedback? Yep, the "Not so great" one.

Fortunately the person who'd gotten my package was a neighbor and brought it over to me.

I shop Amazon for a lot of reasons, but a big one is because it helps me out physically. Right now shopping locally means walking around stores, fighting crowds, standing in line, and going from place to place and that is a lot for me. Plus, hauling the walker in and out of the car takes it out of me, too, especially after I've done it a couple of times. (It's heavy.)

I have never, ever had trouble with Amazon like this before. I can't help but wonder if it's the warehouse the items are coming from and that there are problems there.

The Prime shipping saves me lots of money, but if this trend continues, I may have to begin making my purchases at other online businesses. 

I sure hope not, but I've lost a lot of faith in Amazon. Stay 'tooned - we shall see.
