It's a hostage situation. This is how you can tell Amazon is a dangerous monopoly: when even the people they fuck over have no choice but to smile and say, "But we still love 'em!"
- astrange 4y agoAmazon isn’t a monopoly, its competitors just don’t have good shipping or return policies. I got an empty box shipped to me instead of an SSD last week and got an instant refund for it.
- bornfreddy 4y agoI mean, sure, you got an instant refund... But, do you find it OK that you got an empty box shipped instead of an SSD? To me that is unacceptable.
