My wife's new phone case fail. Login/Join

Ordered a case for the wife's new phone from Amazon...

As you can see as I hold this package up to a lamp it is completely empty... yet it was tightly sealed. Roll Eyes
I told her I guess the bubble pack IS the case! Big Grin She didn't buy that.

To amazon's credit it took less than 2 minutes to get a replacement on the way via their chat support.




If it ain't woke... don't fix it.

Order probably got mixed up by the employee and there's probably a clear plastic screen protector floating somewhere in there.

LOL! No I checked thoroughly. Nothing but air.

I had this happen two months ago; I ordered some Wago lever lock connectors from amazon. I got an empty envelope that hadn't had the sealing tape strip uncovered. To their credit, Amazon apologized and sent a replacement order overnight.

I have a policy, NEVER BUY FROM AMAZON. Because I actually enjoy walking into a store, looking at things that interest me, and actually handling an item before purchasing it. Those who insist on shopping on Amazon are actively participating in the complete destruction of the Retail Industry in the USA.


I've stopped counting.

Only problem with that, scooter, is many of the things I wish to purchase simply are not available at local stores. Period. If it's available locally, and the price is within reason (yes, I'll pay more to buy locally), I'll buy locally--every time. But if it's not: An on-line store gets my business.

The Wago connectors mentioned above are a good example. Nobody around here carries them. I checked. Hell, an electrical supply place I use had never heard of them.

And I live in a major metro area.

Then there are the things that used to be available locally, but were dropped because they were (presumably) slower movers. So we're supposed to stop buying the products we want because local stores dropped them? I don't think so.

Or maybe the the “Retail Industry in the USA” brought their “complete destruction“ on themselves by not being competitive and offering a better experience or value.

I can find what I am looking for from Amazon in three minutes and have a half dozen options. It can frequently be at my door the same day. Or I could go to four stores, maybe find one option, have to deal with idiots, and possibly come home empty handed wasting my gas and time.

I tire easily of calling stores to ask about an item only to talk to idiots who haven’t a clue. More waste of my time. Or the reverse, be in a store cash in hand ready to spend but be put on finger hold while the employee focuses on a person on the phone who might become a customer instead of the one that is already there.

I know a guy that is an Amazon savant.

he can tell you what they do and don't have,
how many colors it comes in and
how many 6 of them will weigh , for shipping.

He goes on about everything you mention and how much cheaper he got it on Amazon.

yes it's wonderful to go in too a store and interact with knowledgeable, courteous and pleasant staff.

but

it's a one in five shot in today's brick and mortar stores , that you will find that employee

Well... I agree to some extent but don't assume that I "insist" on shopping at Amazon. It's 10 miles, each way, to Walmart... the only store in the county with a fair selection of phone cases... they still didn't have what we wanted, we actually did look and bought one there but that will be returned. The phone store had a few, at double / triple the cost, and still not what we wanted. I can order from my recliner and get exactly what I want for $13.99 and free shipping... as long as it doesn't magically disappear from the package in transit Big Grin. And my Smile donations, >50 bucks so far, goes to a local good cause.

One time I ordered something small, can't remember what, came home to a giant box that weighed 50+ lbs. It was a giant box filled with empty boxes, had me scratching my head. They wantede to bring it to UPS, took some convincing and they finally agreed to pick it up when I told them I couldn't fit it in my car so they'd have to send me more smaller boxes to put the boxes in so I could send them back.
