Dear people who buy stuff from us on Amazon,

1. Thanks for buying from us!
2. We don't purposely get your order wrong. We ship out hundreds (thousands during holidays) of packages a day (with only 3 shippers). Mistakes happen. We will try out best to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
3. Sometimes there are delays out of our control. We will try our best to get our item to you ASAP.
4. Don't order something the week before Christmas and then bitch because it isn't there immediately or in time for Christmas. Plan better.
5. No you will not get your refund until we get the item back. We once had someone send a box full of milk jugs to try and get a refund. The idiots didn't think we would open the box I guess.

I'm holding you responsible for the ridiculous international postage for tiny items ;)

Oh no! That'd be the Ebay section of our company. They ship international. They are such jerks! :P

They are! I'm pretty sure the international postage calculated is value-of-item x 2 + $1 for each time barrier crossed.

Also they posted my seperate items separately as they became available instead of at once! ;)

Huh. That is a bit odd. We tend to wait as long as possible so that we spend less on shipping.

Yeah I requested they be lumped together too, that little checkbox where I can get in one go or as they are available?. So kind of surprised that one has been shipped but the other two are idk storage? Not posted yet.
Idk. Baffling but eh.

Aw, I've never had a problem with Amazon. Though I do love their probably-unintentionally-passive aggressive emails.

"We thought you'd like to know that we've shipped your items."

Why yes, yes I would. Thank you. :|

Yeah, they are usually unintentionally passive aggressive. Unless you are a jerk to them. Like, some people will call the day after they order something, "WHY HAS MY ITEM NOT BEEN SHIPPED? IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE 14 HOURS!"

Can I ask something you probably get asked a lot? How come some stuff on amazon.com will ship to Canada but some will say 'cannot ship to this location'?

I thought everything came from amazon warehouses (except obviously the stuff listed as other vendors).

I think, what they ship depends on customs and item restrictions. I can ask my boss tomorrow for a more detailed answer. But what I figure is that for most items, it is probably too much a risk to send because it might be pulled by customs during transport.

Ah. That makes sense. :]

Heh, to add to this: dear customers, we do our best to make sure items get to you in one piece. But accidents happen. See my post about warehouse systems and such.

Omg, yes. IT ISN'T OUR FAULT USPS BENT YOUR ITEM! I put don't bend on the package!

The only time Amazon has ever fucked up for me is by sending a package to the wrong address. It's one of the three I have on my list, but it wasn't the one I picked (I double-checked this) so I'm guessing it was a system error of some kind. Either way it was my old address in town rather than one in a different country entirely, lol, so I just waited until it said "delivered" and snagged it from the porch at my old address.

Maybe that's illegal but lol.

I love amazon, they are always super consistent for me and often things come BEFORE the estimated arrival.

Plus after doing some shipments on a small scale business level, I have a new appreciation for how hard it is to be 100%. Fuck ups happen even if it isn't your fault.

I only ever get on a company's case if they fuck up REALLY badly and their customer service is atrocious, but I've never had problems with amazon.
