Old Texas Dude 🌵🗝️⚖️ (@v64OTD) reportedWho else has consistent issues with @amazon delivery instructions not being followed, or products not arriving when promised? Let's call out the large corporate failures. #corporatocracy

Assaf | Money & Finance (@Assaf0013) reported@Lilly7862 Amazon didn't get huge with a glamorous idea — it got huge by solving the boring problem of moving a box from A to B, millions of times a day.

Scarecrow9281 (@Scarecr6574564) reported@MelTankardReist @amazon ...what exactly is the problem here?

DeirdreM (@mit53564) reported@Brash_1 @amazon I haven't had nearly as much trouble as that, thank goodness, but I hear you. That's ridiculous that it happens to you so often, and you're absolutely right that it's not worth all the time you have to spend getting the items you ordered. I hope they get their act together!

EagleRidge17 (@TheEagleRidge17) reported@liz_churchill10 The uni-party, alias the globalists alias Satan. The ''father of lies", lies to control the world as a one world order. America last. United Nations first with one ruler, the Antichrist. Get it now? Read it in the Bible as it is slow walked in reality. The media pushed all this for them. Are these capital crimes? By the way, does amazon sell rope?

Nazmul Hasan Fahim (@buildbyfahim) reportedYouTube links rot. Amazon restructures. Affiliate networks shut down. Your old videos keep getting views but zero conversions because links decay.

Mr Never Sell (@MrNeverSell) reported@StoxSamA Well it do seem to exists caps in this case if he has to discuss his purchase with his lawyers. So obviously something is happening behind the scenes. Or are you implying that he is lying? I don’t mind if people say they think its a small sum, but being rude and attacking him personally just pisses me off. Also this isn’t a moment of crisis. Do you see or hear anyone from the Open team describing their journey as a crisis? Neither Kaz, or any one else from their team gives a rats *** about peoples feelings or gambling on the stock market. He has a company to run. And the company is doing fine. When Amazon was down at most, and everyone on Wall Street was mocking them, did you see Jeff Bezos run and buy stocks? No. So why should Kaz? These people know their companies like they know their kids. They don’t have to prove anything to some whiny and rude shareholders.

Nick Di Fabio (@NickDiFabio1) reportedHow I used my self-publishing to quit my 9-5 in 6 months: • Reinvested everything • Outsourced book creation • Paid for help from people with experience • Worked on my biz for 3-5 hours every Saturday • Found what worked on Amazon & doubled down on it You can do this too.

Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported@Prusa3D Swap out the CHT, and remove the problem color. Looks like 3x that I sent this print today, the black filament got changed. I didnt change it, I just updated printer settings for the MMU, and @PrusaSlicer took that as a prompt to change the stupid red flag to green and substitute "Amazon basics generic" which I never installed or used. INDX cant get here fast enough. I hate the MMU3. So many hours and material wasted on that system.

MAZDUR 🎟️ (@cinemaausher) reported@AmazonHelp delivery was not attempted and it shows attempted, that's the issue

Dr Shawn P Cicoria (@ShawnCicoria) reportedHalf the items coming from @amazon ships broken, was used, or now days late. Quality at the last mile should make or break an entity. Questioning why pay for prime if returns so high. Oh now they charge for UPS or I need to drive 5 miles

Faisal_IND (@bond19872001) reported@AmazonHelp you’re still missing the main point.If the order was not delivered within the promised time because of Amazon’s own delivery failure, why should I be made to bear any marketplace fee? Was I supposed to keep waiting indefinitely for an order that was already delayed for days?And my main concern is the ₹2,160 I actually paid from my card. I want my refundable amount returned to my original payment method, not converted into Amazon cashback/credit.I’m not interested in how Amazon categorises the marketplace fee internally. The issue is that the customer did not cause the delay or cancellation—Amazon did.Please provide the exact calculation showing where my money went and why the full refundable amount was not returned to my card.If Amazon refuses to resolve this, I will escalate it to the National Consumer Helpline/Consumer Commission with the payment, refund and customer-service records.I want my money back through the original payment method, not Amazon credit

Higher_waska (@JethroArnaiz) reported@RJB28780610 @paleochristcon @IanMalcolm84 You say it's deflection then concede the point? Then revert back to the eugenics fantasy. Have you ever wondered why Norway doesn't have an immigration problem? Might be something to do with them being 50% unionized and amazon workers paid £25 an hour not £10 like in Uk.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedPricing intelligence tools exist. None of them are built for brand managers. Built Pricevane to fix that. Watches Amazon, Shopify, Walmart 24/7, flags MAP breaches with screenshot proof, reprices inside guardrails, delivers a daily buy-box and margin brief. Live soon.

🇺🇸Warped Willie🇺🇸 (@WarpedWillie) reportedBecause of the refund & lost order, figuring something funny was going on. Just went over all my purchases..10 years with Amazon..351 items ordered & received. I ordered a new card when the problem with it was only with Amazon. They won't even let me add a new card. 🤬🤬🤬

Karikalan Chinnadurai (@kalan_011) reportedMeet Jeff Bezos. In 1994, he had a great job on Wall Street. He quit it to sell books on the internet. Most people thought it was crazy. He did it anyway. Bezos was working at D. E. Shaw when he noticed the explosive growth of the internet. He started looking for something that could be sold online. Books stood out. Millions of titles could be offered online — far more than any physical bookstore could stock. So he left his job. Moved to Seattle. And started Amazon. The company was incorporated in 1994. Amazon opened its online bookstore in July 1995. The first months were chaotic. But customers started coming. By the end of the first month, Amazon had shipped books to all 50 U.S. states and 45 countries. Then came the bigger bet. Amazon didn't stay a bookstore. It expanded into music, video, electronics, marketplaces, cloud computing and much more. In May 1997, Amazon went public at $18 per share. At the end of 1997, Amazon had already served more than 1.5 million customers and generated $147.8 million in revenue. But Bezos was still thinking much bigger. He built Amazon around a simple principle: Start with the customer. Work backward. Keep investing for the long term. Years later, Amazon became one of the world's most important technology and commerce companies. Bezos eventually stepped down as CEO in 2021 and became Executive Chair. He also founded Blue Origin and acquired The Washington Post. The interesting part of Bezos' story isn't that he knew Amazon would become enormous. He didn't. He saw an emerging technology, made a calculated bet, and kept expanding the opportunity. Sometimes the biggest decision of your life is leaving something that is already working to pursue something that might become much bigger. Want to know more about his journey?

Lorbleno (@lorbleno) reportedJeff Bezos sat down with CNBC in 1999 to announce what looked like Amazon’s next big move. The company was going to sell art, antiques and collectibles online with Sotheby’s, a 255-year-old auction house. Amazon put roughly $45 million into Sotheby’s. It had the customers, Sotheby’s had the reputation, and everyone thought the combination would make online auctions safer and more profitable. The site launched with rare books, fine art, gold recovered from a shipwreck and collectibles worth thousands of dollars. Less than a year later, it was over. The problem was not demand for expensive things. The problem was friction. Customers had to move between two sites, register twice and figure out which company was responsible for what. Amazon and Sotheby’s called it a friendly separation. In business language, that usually means the idea looked better in the boardroom than it did for the customer. The company that would later make buying almost anything feel effortless had to learn that trust and convenience are not separate products. A famous name can bring attention. A big budget can bring traffic. But if the experience gets harder after the customer arrives, neither one saves the business.

Borris Manville (@BorrisManville) reportedI discovered some rather unfortunate news this morning. When I took off my house slippers this morning as I was starting my laundry, I found a rather large hole in my favorite pair of socks. Upon checking the other sock - it also had several holes. Sigh. I bought these back in 2022 "Copper Fit" work boot socks. At the time, there were constant commericals for the "healing properties of Copper-Infused socks." I got two pairs for $12 and they have been great, but now I'm down to just one pair. I did order three more pairs this morning on Amazon, and they are supposed to be here on Sunday morning.. But there was a stretch of about 30 seconds where I was nearly inconsolable...

3V0 (@3V0_VTubing) reported@NivenAnthony @MelTankardReist @amazon I give it two weeks max before you buy something off of amazon and forget this existed. Thats what you types do all the time. And if you think Amazon is a problem, why ******** are you using X, which allows people to post tons of pornography?
