I applaud your morality, but have you considered "fuck Amazon"?

[–] 52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 hours ago

I get it, but one also has to preserve their own character so to avoid becoming what we detest in others. For me, telling the lie would not be compatible with who I wish to be.

Is it amazon getting fucked over or the seller 🤔

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 7 points 13 hours ago

I had this exact delivery tracking weirdness on amazon and the seller was another big company... got a refund and have zero regrets.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and ~~weak~~ bruised.

I never thought I'd die this way... but I'd always really hoped!

*spongy and bruised

I worry about that hitting the small sellers on there sometimes, like I ordered something through Amazon recently that very clearly came from a 3rd party small business and it's a quality product. It got mixed up when I returned something else, and they were like "just keep the refund for both" :/ but I'm worried the 3rd party won't get paid for it now

It's probably the biggest dog food brand in the us

[–] EmilieEasie@fedinsfw.app 2 points 12 hours ago

In your case then yeah get that refund lol!

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

It's just a scrappy bookstore startup bro, they have to use bots because they can't hire customer service reps fast enough, they need every dollar they have to get past their angel funding phase, they only sell the highest quality items at low prices... Why are you laughing? This is a serious issue! They hired someone to engineer a button to order Tide. This is the future, THE FUTURE! WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE FUTURE?!

I think Jeff Bozo will be OK, lol

[–] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 14 hours ago

But how will he afford his fifth mega yacht?

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 2 points 14 hours ago

But they'd still give you the refund bro
