Amazon Sucks - Thursday, January 13, 2005
On Christmas Eve, I bought two CD's from third party retailers through Amazon.com and a CD directly from Amazon. The CD's from the 3rd parties shipped in a few days (with free first class upgrade) and reached my dorm a couple days after I had moved in. However, the CD from Amazon was not even scheduled to be shipped by then. Today I got an email saying that my order was delayed, and that the CD would not ship for at least another 10 days, unless it is delayed again. To make matters worse, I have the shipping method on standard shipping, because the first class option costs more money.
All my purchases from 3rd party retailers through Amazon have been expedient, cheap, and satisfying. But Amazon thinks they can take their time with your merchandise because there's nothing you can do about it. You can give ratings to 3rd party sellers, but you can't give ratings to Amazon. Shameful.
