Amazon is the shop, I go to when I can’t find it literally anywhere else.
The search is dysfunctional. The shipping information assumes a Prime subscription. There is constantly some try-hard upsell-advertising. And Amazon is usually not even competitive on price. The emails don’t even matter - I download the invoices.Don’t forget the fact that you absolutely, positively cannot trust the quality of the item that will arrive. At this point, you’re much more likely to get some third party knock off with a lot of popular items.
Usability-reducing features like this do me a favor by giving me yet another reason to use Amazon less and less.
Lmao, Amazon is worried that google and all the other competitors will scrape their information and make money off it. “Yes AI is amazing, but not like thaaaaaaat!” They’re trying to out dirty each other.
Thats what I was thinking, since now they all compete against each other we can expect everything to get shittier as more walled gardens go up.
Which is stupid because it’s the equivalent of saying “you can’t send someone to Walmart to buy an item for you. That should be illegal!”
I currently have a different problem with Amazon. I ordered a graphics card four weeks ago. No high end thing, a simple one with a price tag of €132. They confirmed sending it, then something happened, and shipping was delayed. I got the offer to cancel my order. Nope. I want that card. That’s why I ordered it. They currently have 10 of them in stock, but now priced €199. If I would cancel and order new i would have to pay the new price.
Yeah. Shit like this sorta reminds me of the reports I’ve been hearing about warranty replacements on drives. They don’t send you a replacement because that drive is worth twice what it was so they refund your money you originally paid. It’s almost like it’s turning into eBay and the highest bid.
How about just stop buying shit from Amazon? My confirmation emails haven’t been existing for the last 2 years.
What about when you purchase an item and then 24 hours later, you get an email to purchase the item you’ve already purchased.
I’ve wondered that for years, email was/is a privacy nightmare even before google got in the way. I wish more companies reconsidered what they’re sending via email.
