It’s cheaper to keep me happy. I've had that too, more than once. On one occasion, I'd ordered a laptop battery, but I was sent a bottle of anti-bacterial soap instead. It was the seller who sent it and it was funny. It didn't bother me in the slightest because Amazon covers it anyway. The seller refunded me and told me to keep the soap lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 'don't be evil' thing was dropped not long after Google started. They just couldn't stick to it. Another DuckDuckGo user, or maybe..Bing?

Phil Deakins Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Everyone is giving me money! I started this thread because the 'over and above' refund that I received yesterday from an Amazon seller just added to my view of Amazon, and I wanted to share my view. A few hours later, I received an email from Sky, saying that a refund has been included in my account. The email said.. "We have credited your account to say sorry for the recent issues you experienced with your Sky Broadband and/or Talk." But I haven't had any issues with broadband or talk (phone). I use broadband for hours every day, and the phone hasn't been down at all. I looked in my account and the refund is for £95! What is the world coming to when you can't spend money without them giving some of back to you??? Edited July 26, 2022 by Phil Deakins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google is the best search engine, so I use that 🙄 It's some of what they do beyond the search engine that makes it a bad company, imo.

It doesn't make any difference to me but it would be interesting to have that gift thing explained. I might have a look at it Is it that, taking a 1 year membership now, is charged at the current price? I just realised that I changed from monthly to annually only a month ago, so I have 11 months left at the current price before the new price is applied, and using the gifting trick won't be any good for me.

Yes it will. Gift yourself a year's Prime membership now, at the low rate...but don't cash in the gift you receive from yourself until just before renewal. The only tricky part is setting yourself a reminder to do it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what you mean by "walmart 54", but I had occasion to visit my local Walmart late one night. It was an amazing transformation from the daytime Walmart. There were about five times the number of employees you see in the daytime, all running around with pallets of merchandise, restocking the shelves. They were all very friendly and willing to help the few remaining customers, but it was obvious that they were focused on other matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put a reminder in my calendar and also in Alexa. What I need to think about is whether I want to do it, since Amazon is always so very good to me for some time. I have until sometime in September to decide. But thank you for explaining the method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a studio 54 reference about the wild pictures that people see on the internet at Walmart.. I don't know if it's on certain nights or not and probably doesn't go on in every Walmart. But I've been told more times than i can count by men and women to never go into Walmart in our town after 9pm, because the other meat market opens.. They say it's like a free for all in there and everyone's up for grabs.. hehehe Men hitting on women, women hitting on men, men hitting on men, women hitting on women, like it was a night club or something. I think a lot of it has to do with being the only place in town that is open 24 hours a day. Edited July 26, 2022 by Ceka Cianci 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hexem Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I'd like to point out that regardless of how they treat employees, LL could learn a lot from Amazon's customer service. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
