Society Amazon delivery times in your area?

As a head's up they count promo credits against your account.

I don't complain every time. But when it starts to add up, I get annoyed.

I ordered something for my son last night at about 8pm. Just got delivered (1pm next day). Prime delivery is usually pretty quick in Austin, depending on the items. I think one of their big distribution warehouses is just south of town.

Living near a distribution center is key, I've found.

I imagine you have to be a royal pain in the ass to get banned. I'm just giving you a friendly heads up.

Amazon basically has a big ledger for everyone. If they deem you too much of a pain in the ass they'll ban you from using their service.

You basically have to be a completely terrible person to get banned by amazon.

Not really, you just have to fall under a certain revenue threshold. Bezos don't give a fuck if you're a nice guy.

These sound like second work problems, gotta be honest.

I'm not even sure. I think it's 10 bucks a month. I have it, but don't use the video service so I'm conflicted on whether or not it's worth it.

Do "Add on items" drive anyone else nuts?

There's a little cable adapter. It's $5.49 but it's a God damn add on item.

What kind of cable are you attempting to adapt?
Have you tried a cable improviser?

Fires shut down things?

Fires have killed less people than the flu, shutting down for them is stupid

They use all kinds of information like your location as well.

Couple years back I moved into an area that was pretty nice but the neighborhood in itself must have had some people with bad credit scores or some other bad factors I assume.
While my credit score was and is perfect, all of the sudden Amazon did not accept direct debit or bill anymore, had to use a credit card.

Then I moved into a much worse area for about a year, and weirdly they accepted everything as payment again.

Now I'm in a nice area again and all is peachy.
Still, this is some bullshit discriminatory algorithm.
I don't really order a lot tho.
