I have an item I bought from amazon about 3 weeks ago from a 3rd party vendor. I noticed a lot of negative comments on the sellers page about getting theirs who ordered it around the same time I have. Has anyone else experienced this issue lately? Amazon wont tell me if a buyer who bought this same item if it was received by the buyer yet. 

 

Also, the shipping label was created on May 6th and that is the only info on UPS website since then. The seller has responded to me on various emails and 1 from today saying it will be delivered this Wed or before. 

 

Do sellers usually use more than 1 warehouse with the things they see or many? I am not sure how it works or if should even believe the seller it will be here then. Yes, I know the pandemic could delays deliveries.

 

I've have also, seen ppl having issues with their refunds. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA

Not sure if this will be helpful, but I recently had an issue where Amazon marked a package as delivered, but it never actually arrived.  Usually the delivery person will take a picture of where they left it, but that wasn't the case for this one, and it said it was delivered to a "secure" location.

I went to their automated chat function and it asked a few basic questions and then refunded my money right on the spot.   It was sub-$50, so obviously not worth their time to have me talk to a real person.  I was impressed how quick and easy it was.

 

It might be too early for you to request a refund, but search around for the chat-based help function when you get to that point.  It's possible this won't work with a 3rd party vendor though.

  • 2 weeks later...

Just like i thought would happen, the item never arrived, the seller cancelled it and I was refunded. I knew that was going to be the outcome for over 3 weeks now but amazon still lets the seller advertise as having this item. What a joke. Amazon's rep. is going downhill in my eyes big time.

If it a third party, then Amazon has nothing to do with it. All they do is collect the payment and send the order info to the vendor. Also stop and think, Amazon's fulfillment centers are run by humans, robots do not pick the order and pack it for you, a human does, also realize that Amazon has insane rate requirements that force the humans to work faster then they should have to, so stuff is going to misplaced/not shipped. Also they are still prioritizing certain items, such as healthcare related items, so you may have to wait a few extra days to get your order. If you want it faster, go to a brick and mortar store and buy it there, otherwise, quit complaining about how Amazon has gone downhill. Also, perhaps you should contact them and let them know that the vendor is doing this, let them investigate, they likely will pull the vendor.

    • seems pretty short sighted to just kick the can down the road like that. /s
    • anyone know of any VNC viewers that can do a full 4k and scaling to a mac from windows? RDP does it fine from a mac to windows and windows to windows... but I can't seem to get it to do 4k with UltraVNC and have it scaled to match from windows to the mac
    • At least on Mint... Debian is the 'backup' option (i.e. LMDE6) where as regular Mint is Ubuntu. also, Debian tends to play stuff a bit more conservatively than Ubuntu (at least based on Mint) with kernel and programs. also, even Mint's 'Update Manager' is more refined in regular Mint vs LMDE6 and installing NVIDIA driver is easier on regular Mint etc. not only that but LMDE6 only comes with Cinnamon which is a shame as they should offer the option for Xfce. I realize playing around with it in a VM one can install Xfce on it but it would be nice to have a more official Xfce release like how the regular Mint does. so while I heard Debian is a little snappier than Ubuntu (so better on some level), Ubuntu is probably the overall wiser choice unless people don't mind using a bit older stuff etc. but honestly, with some tweaks I would not mind if they changed the main Mint to Debian base instead of Ubuntu. but that's probably not likely to happen unless Ubuntu really does something the Mint team does not like. p.s. but I was building Super Mario 64 (native PC port on Linux) a while ago and it does not like regular Mint but works fine on LMDE6. but at that point I just transferred the final binary out of the VM back to my regular Mint and it works fine.
    • Excel is getting a highly requested PivotTable feature by Usama Jawad Microsoft Excel is one of the most popular software out there, both in the enterprise and personal space. It has a variety of use-cases including data analysis, data crunching, visualizations, and even planning and organization assistance. Microsoft regularly updates Excel with new features, and now, it is introducing a notable feature for PivotTables. Prior to today, PivotTables required a manual refresh from the user whenever new data was inserted into them. This wasn't a particularly complicated process, but it was tedious, so based on significant user feedback, Microsoft has decided to implement auto-refresh capabilities in PivotTables. The good thing is that Auto Refresh is enabled for all new PivotTables by default, but you can choose to disable it by selecting a PivotTable, navigating to the PivotTable Analyze tab, and then clicking on Auto Refresh. It is important to note that Auto Refresh is applicable on a per data source level, which means that the feature's state (on or off) will apply to all PivotTables derived from that source. Additionally, if Auto Refresh is disabled or a PivotTable is unable to synchronize, a message at the bottom of your workbook will say "PivotTable Refresh Needed". Once you click on it, all outdated PivotTables will refresh. Finally, you should keep in mind that external and asynchronous data sources do not support Auto Refresh and that the feature may become unavailable when a co-author is using an older version of Excel or if you are playing around with volatile functions like RAND() and NOW() in your data source. Auto Refresh for PivotTables is available right now in the Beta Channel for Excel for Windows version 2506 (Build 19008.2000) or later, and Excel for Mac version 16.99 (Build 250616106) or later. If you don't see it yet, it's better to wait as new capabilities are often rolled out in a staggered manner.
