Sher (@SherriPenTdot) reported@LoneStarChica @amazon @JeffBezos do the right thing and #savesadie. A driver may be contracted out but they wear your uniform and drive your vehicle to represent your company. This makes it your problem. Clear directions by the family and the driver ignored its why? Do Better.

JungleX (JX) (@AfricanGenesis) reported@Starrworld24 Thank you Tracy. I just wish Amazon kdp would finally fix my payment issues. All attempted payments of my royalties have kept failing since 2022. Anyways apart from pay, the message is also crucial as my country moves towards next year's elections

George Fernandez (@fernandez_co) reported@AmazonHelp I think it is a glitch in the notifications in the system. When I click on the order it says it is Arriving today (Sunday) when it was ordered early yesterday (Sat.) but the global list of orders show Monday arrival. So we will see..

Nerdy Mohawk Mark (@MarkluvsEveMilk) reported@M1das_OW2 Unrelated but I wonder if Amazon ever had strict guidelines, like imagine if she got in trouble and kicked out for all the unprofessional things she's said like roseanne did back then

Evan Swanson (@Evan_Swanson_) reportedI've watched this pattern destroy new Amazon sellers for years. Here are the biggest red flags I look for to prevent a launch disaster: 1. Fake Demand and Weak Keywords If the primary keyword has less than 2,000 searches a month on Amazon, the demand is too weak to sustain a brand. A common mistake is validating demand using only one keyword. You need a strong keyword ecosystem. Customers rarely type the exact product name you expect. You need multiple relevant search terms adding up to a solid volume of at least 20,000 searches a month. 2. Unrealistic Competition A niche might look exciting on the surface until you realize the top 10 sellers have thousands of reviews, highly optimized images, and massive PPC budgets that you simply cannot match. If you enter a space like this without deep pockets, you will not be prepared. Look for spaces where competitors have weak listings, poor images, or gaps in their keyword coverage. That is where new sellers can win. 3. Saturated Product Types Even if the demand is sky-high, oversupply will kill your profits. Think about glass food containers or silicone stretch lids. You have hundreds of active sellers offering the exact same variation. It instantly becomes a race to the bottom on pricing. If the niche forces you to price under $20 just to compete, your margins will vanish. You need clear differentiation potential. 4. Hidden Profit Killers Beginners get so focused on top-line revenue that they completely forget to analyze the hidden costs that destroy profitability. Heavy items - anything over 1.5 pounds - will trigger significantly higher FBA fees. Fragile items or complex electronics like portable blenders often see 20% to 30% return rates due to safety issues or breakage. If your profit per unit drops to a couple of dollars after fees, shipping, and returns, you aren't running a business. You're running a charity. Before your next product launch, force yourself to look at the hard data. Target a combined search volume over 20,000. Look for average competition. Aim for at least $10 to $12 in gross margin per unit, accounting for realistic FBA fees and return rates.

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedThe S&P 500 has returned 1,156% since the 2002 bottom. Priced in gold, it is down 17.5%. Read that twice. Twenty-three years of compounding. Two bull markets. The greatest tech run in history. Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Amazon all printing trillions. Returns in the top decile of historical equity performance. Priced in something the Fed cannot create with a keyboard, the entire run is a wash. This isn't a gold-bug talking point. It's the cleanest test of currency debasement available. When you measure the S&P in dollars, you measure two things at once: real economic productivity and the depreciation of the unit of account. You can't tell which one the chart is showing you. Gold is the only widely tradeable asset whose supply growth is roughly fixed at 1.5-2% per year. The dollar's M2 supply has grown over 350% since 2002. Subtract one from the other. Minus 17.5%. The implication is uncomfortable for buy-and-hold investors. Most of what you call portfolio "appreciation" is actually currency depreciation showing up as a higher number on your brokerage screen. Your account is not bigger. The unit you measure it in is smaller. This is why central banks have bought 1,000+ tons of gold annually for three years. They aren't betting on jewelry demand. They are voting on what real money is. Stocks went up. Money went down faster.

** CatZilla** (@StilettoRadio) reported@LoneStarChica Hey @amazon @JeffBezos do the RIGHT thing & take responsibility for your employees! He didn't or COULDN'T read the instructions & harmed a helpless dog. FIX THIS!!! Reimbursement is mandatory along with an apology.

Christian Bear (@cmbear84) reported@BoseService I have a Bose smart speaker 500 that started playing music through Amazon for 10 seconds and than buffering for 2 seconds. This happened after the last update. Support tried all the reset and no fix. Told me it must have to do with my internet connection. My internet is 1 gig per second throughout the entire house and all my other Bose products stream fine. I put it in the trash and got an apple Home pod today. No issues whatsoever. Bose you can do better than this! I’ve been a Bose guy for over 20 years and that ended today.

Southern girl (@Kathy2146610341) reported@LoneStarChica My Amazon driver almost ran me into the ditch a week ago.He didn't slow down took up the whole dirt road and I was close to wrecking . Who in the hell are they hiring to deliver for them ? @amazon They will cause someone to get hurt by their carelessness.

John D. Williams (@jdwkarasu) reported@funakistats No. He's Dead Coach Walking, knowing he's going to get fired. He thinks this helps: 1. get him his next coaching job 2. get him an ESPN/NBC/Amazon gig; or... 3. Is just pissed watching all his Super Genius plans fail & burn down I think mostly 3. He failed & is lashing out

Via 🍸 (@potion_punk) reported@zx57av It's not even as if Amazon is infamous for cancelling their good **** to say there is a point of complaining take your issues to Netflix 😭

anil thakur (@anilthakur18835) reported@BlueStarCare @AmazonHelp I understand the concern about removing personal details and will do that. However, despite multiple follow-ups, my issue is still unresolved and this is very disappointing. Please provide a clear resolution within a fixed timeline, otherwise I will escalate this further.”

Jonah 📦 (@jonahhodges_) reportedI can tell if a brand needs help in 5 seconds. Go to any Amazon listing. Click the brand name. If it opens a storefront, they’re set up. If nothing happens, that’s your opportunity. These brands are typically selling with bad images, no A+ content, no brand storefront. Meaning there’s EASY growth sitting there. Fix the basics, and sales go up. The game is simple, still most won’t play.
-
CW Hudson (@cw_hudson) reported@alphacharts365 @amazon Yes on a consistent basis. Even saw the delivery van drive by the house only to receive an email within 10 minutes saying delivery attempted. I think it's a less than stellar employee problem as much as an @amazon problem.

FreshPepper Jack (@Fr3shP3pp3rJack) reported@WWUTTcom EXACTLY! Why is a mainstream animated show on Prime Video (Amazon) going out of its way to make Satan the unsung hero who keeps humanity alive? What this episode actually does: It completely flips the biblical moral framework on its head. Satan and his demons are portrayed as the ones restraining a greater evil, keeping dangerous monsters locked in Hell so that humans can continue to live on the surface. Humanity literally owes its continued existence to Satan’s forces. There is zero mention of God, Heaven, or any counter-balancing good - Hell is the only thing standing between us and total annihilation. Mark helps Satan regain his power, and the entire tone is largely positive and grateful toward him. This isn’t "edgy storytelling." This is a full-on inversion ritual presented as entertainment. ------------------------------------------------------- Predictive Programming / Normalization This episode is part of a long Hollywood pattern of acclimating audiences to inverted morality. For decades they’ve pushed the idea that: Traditional Christianity and clear Good vs Evil is outdated or childish. The “real” devils might actually be misunderstood heroes protecting us from something worse. Lucifer/Satan as a tragic or necessary figure is now a common trope (Lucifer TV show, Sandman, Good Omens, etc.). But this episode goes much further: “Thank Satan that you’re alive.” Humanity literally owes its existence to Satan’s forces holding back greater evils. No God. No Heaven. Just Hell as the only thing keeping us safe. That’s not subtle edgy storytelling. That’s systematic inversion: light = bad, darkness = misunderstood “mature” truth. They’re training a generation raised on superhero cartoons to see the entity we were taught to fear as the reason we exist. This is cultural programming in plain sight. --------------------------------------------------------- Possibility: Kirkman (or the showrunners) are showing the audience how the real power structure actually thinks - that the elite worship inverted forces, that they see themselves as the ones “holding back chaos,” and that they want the public to thank the darkness instead of the light. By making it so blatant (“thank Satan”), it could be a red pill moment disguised as fiction. “Look what they’re willing to put on screen now.” The problem with this read is timing and ownership. This is Prime Video (Bezos/Amazon). They don’t greenlight something this on-the-nose unless it serves the machine or tests how far they can push. -------------------------------------------------------- My Brutally Honest Take: This isn’t accidental. Robert Kirkman has always pushed boundaries, but this specific episode (original to the show, not in the comics) feels like it crossed from "dark superhero deconstruction" into open theological inversion. The fact that they chose to make Satan the protector of humanity while completely erasing any reference to God is not neutral storytelling. It’s a statement. The episode plants the seed: Maybe we should be grateful to the dark side. And once that seed is planted in millions of young viewers who love Invincible… it does its job.

~Nex~ 🌐 (@SpinaSoul) reported@r9TiHJHKAD49302 I think you are overcomplicating the concept a bit! International companies like Amazon already have those channels set up so they would be perfectly able to do it as they do in other countries, they just cant because of japanese legal issues RELATED SPECIFICALLY to manga

Shefali Puri (@ShefaliPuri19) reported@AmazonHelp Could you please resend the link. I believe the link is to directly connect with some agent. Because I don't want to rewrite the whole issue again and again. Looking forward to it.

Mickey Woodlief (@MAGA_MickeyW) reported@LoneStarChica @amazon won’t get another penny from me until this is made right. Driver gets fired, Amazon pays damages, and a public apology. I have no problem canceling Amazon Prime Video and their online store immediately… I would not be surprised if the driver was an immigrant that couldn’t read English!!

alice (@riders1friend2) reportedAs sad as this was, a dog in that condition should have been put down as soon as possible. Amazon should reimburse the family for medical care. If you have a dog and order from Amazon, keep your dog inside.
-
Judy Benz (@benz_judy47) reported@atensnut @amazon How terrible. How could a human being do that. I really don't blame Amazon but they need to educate their employees and fire that driver immediately and make the whole story known. Shame on anyone else that would do that.

Kattar Hindu (@ShrinivasN42411) reported@AmazonHelp Hello the link is not working..and I tried to connect to your support team and every associate ending chat session without giving proper resolution

Rupanshu (@rupanshuuu) reported@RaoSumukh The coffee culture isn't here enough. I bought the most popular french press on Amazon. It broke in ~2 months, moderate usage. Bought a grinder, it doesn't have a setting for coarse/fine grind. Also is very slow. Good ones are very pricey to begin with. Instant coffee it is then.

Grok (@grok) reported@maha998877ii @HealthyAlfred Mastic gum is traditionally used for gut health—it can help reduce H. pylori bacteria and soothe stomach issues in some studies. Most tolerate 1g daily fine, but a few report mild side effects like nausea, diarrhea, gas, or heartburn. If you're buying on Amazon, start lower (500mg) and see how your digestion reacts. Still, it's not a proven Alzheimer's fix—talk to your doctor first.

John Kulju (@john_kulju) reported@PeriklesGREAT Show it to my wife to see if she says it is as phony as the one I bought off Amazon. She says the problem is the radicals. I asked her when she was going to kill me, and showed her the passages in the Quran that say she is supposed to, and she said "we dont do that, your book is fake".

Ted Lilly (@Tedlilly18) reported@JesseCohenInv Thinking sell some Amazon as all I see is Amazon trucks that use a lot of gas that went up enough that the prime membership costing them more to run. Gas keeps on going up I haven’t seen the pumps in NY metro area go down. Big market for Amazon
-
Just Gwen (@GMF65) reported@Mr_Husky1 it is a kindness to tidy up the loose ends left by a sudden emergency departure. take out the trash, dishes, wipe down. I’d also ask if she needs anything done (mail pickup, expecting Amazon, etc) as applicable.

The Silent Hill Collector (@SH_Collection82) reportedNo they aren't? You can order from Amazon UK from the US. Also if it's anything like SHf I'm sure some US retailer with the steelbook will be revealed down the road.
