I am glad that it has been all good for you, but not always for others. Years ago I ordered a Nikon camera -- over 2 months went by before I received it. Musta been imported from Hong Kong on a slow boat. I ordered a kitchen gadget -- only an empty cardboard piece of packaging arrived. UPS came and picked it up, and I did get a refund. Something I've noticed over the years is, after I just look at an item, usually computer parts, the price suddenly goes up, the next time I go back to it. Literally, minutes later, sometimes. Coincidence ? I have had several times where I carefully chose Eligible for FREE shipping, items, then was charged with high shipping costs. Sometimes the shipping charges are about the same as the item I want to order. I do like Amazon, but they need improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use any credit card, if you want free shipping you have to use Prime. That is not FUD, That is a fact. They do not accept PayPal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple (for non-Prime members)...select "free shipping" eligible items ... and the order has to be over $49 (or $25 for books). +Raze, Circaflex and +E.Worm Jimmy 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as you posted for eligible items and over $49.00 , I get my books at the library. I had a Prime card and it is not easy to get rid of. Hum had a problem and he posted about it. I hope his problem is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Amazon for years, and never had a single problem. Please describe four situations of "BS" that you've had. I just can't comprehend it. Unless you're purchasing things from other vendors who sell on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don't - I have my Discover card on file with them, and usually use that (especially when Discover is offering 5% cash back on Amazon purchases). My Amazon card is rarely used - usually only when my wife is buying eBooks. Please list some of your "BS" that you've encountered from them that is real. Plus, their card is also 0% interest as long as you keep paying on it. MikeChipshop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
