If Amazon wants to make a sincere apology to their unauthorized use of a city park - namely Crown Pt - they'll offer to pay what the city would've charged them if they'd done everything above board. Real easy to say you're sorry and move on. I agree with council member Elo-Rivera: Amazon doesn't deserve or need the City of San Diego to subsidize their business.

title says most of it. i boycott amazon and don’t shop there, for years. but did have an account years ago.

the text they just sent me said:

“Amazon: We have updated our Conditions of Use, effective August 14. The updated terms include (i) a mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution procedure, (ii) an arbitration agreement and class action waiver, and (iii) changes to the applicable law. Please read the full updated terms, including the arbitration agreement, here: https://a.co/d/0hFoNafu. As always, your continued use of any Amazon service constitutes your agreement to the Conditions of Use. Thank you for choosing Amazon.”

it’s a bad time to accept their terms or ever open or use their app ever again.

Was curious about the proposed Intro 518, so I pulled up Amazon's 10-Q. Turns out their retail side is swimming in cash — last year the retail division pulled in over $34 billion in operating profit, largely off the $69 billion it made in ad revenue. Kind of a bad look to be squeezing drivers while posting numbers like that.

Amazon's claiming the regulations will force them to pass costs onto consumers, making deliveries pricier for everyday New Yorkers. But their own revenue reporting says otherwise — they can easily afford to directly hire these drivers, pay a living wage, and operate safely in our neighborhoods without raising prices a cent. Kind of breaks my brain. Id bet that theyre bluffing.

Not paying DSPs properly isn't the invisible hand of the market. It's a middle finger of corporate greed.

Last night, I was checking my Amazon account and noticed that an item I wanted to buy was suggesting that I read that I should join Amazon Prime to save on shipping. What??? I have been a member of Amazon Prime from the beginning. I have a Whole Foods delivery subscription. I have Prime Video. I have video subscriptions through Amazon and every month religiously Amazon charges my AMEX for these memberships. Then I noticed that I’m getting these mysterious rejoin prime notices on my account and I thought could I possibly be logged in to some other account? Could I possibly have advertently created two accounts one with my telephone number and one with my email and I started getting a little crazy about this and I end up calling Amazon and got the call center in the Philippines, which… Don’t ask. Got nowhere with that. They suggested that it might be my bank which was American Express. (Yes I did get nasty). And when I called American Express, they said there’s no problem - we never refused payment for any Amazon; you’ve been charged regularly. And I went back to Amazon – this is a very aggravating experience as you all will know – and I got somebody in India, which was like I guess it upgrade from the Philippines and I explained to the person what had happened and we went around and around for a while and I’m getting annoyed and she switched me over to prime membership, which explained yes indeed my subscription was canceled on August 9. There was no reason for that. I did not do that and then when going through my emails I noticed there was some message from Amazon that said Your membership will be canceled on August 9. And the email said that this email cannot be confirmed to be an Amazon address. Could some bandits have taken and invaded my Amazon account and canceled it and then encouraged me to rejoin a fake site? At times I’m just overwhelmed with these online crooks and security online. I also can’t believe the extent to which some crooks go anyway I am wondering if anybody else has had this kind of experience.

Why is Amazon India RBS so toxic?

With each day it feels like working in a toxic Indian company. Amazon may sound global but it's managers are very very very toxic.
I admired the work culture here but lately their external hires for managers are just screwing the overall Amazon experience.
Is every org in India like this?

Tell me a positive story about Amazon in 2026.

Amazon now has the worst of all service, these guys don’t have an option to connect to there rider nor they have the proof of delivery to verify if an item is wrong.
These MFs don’t understand the quick commerce market.
This have happened multiple times now that these people send the wrong item, then they are not even ready to initiate the refund.
Zepto’s Customer support is far far better than Amazonnow.

They are lying about “free” shipping for Prime members!

I accidentally logged onto a different non-prime account and was surprised that the price was lower than usual, but then noticed the shipping fee and realized I was on the wrong account.

The price was $17.83, and then $27.93 with shipping. When on the prime account, I found the same product, with the same size and everything, for $27.45. The images attached explain these better. These products are identical, but their shipping dates differ by 2 days. 

This is actually a scam because they are advertising free shipping for prime members when they increase the price to the same amount, so where does the free shipping come in? I noticed that the “sold by \_\_\_\_\_” is different for each, but you can’t find the same sellers on either accounts, I’m sure of it.

I also tested this out with other products, even Amazon Basics products, and the EXACT same thing is happening, where prime is equal to non-prime with shipping. 

First of all, is this supposed to happen?

Essentially, what am I paying $100+/year for if not the free shipping? Getting my things a couple of days earlier and the occasional show with 3 min ads?!

Is this potentially a class action lawsuit for personalized pricing?

Please try it out for yourself and see if it's happening for you guys as well so I’m not crazy. 

I genuinely think I might cancel my subscription because what is the point of prime then!

**TLDR**: **Prime** shopping has **increased base prices** for products that are **equal** to the **non-Prime products with shipping fees,** so literally, where is the free shipping for prime members?

I’m not one for public declarations, but I have had completely stopped doing business with Amazon. Purely because of the amount of stupid mistakes that become an absolute nightmare to get resolved.

Of my last 10 orders, I’ve had problems with seven of them. One order was such a nightmare to get a resolution that I actually had to go to my bank and have them reverse the charge on their end before Amazon took any kind of action. It took hours of my time and stretched out for weeks.

It is impossible to get in touch with a human being for any customer service. If your problem doesn’t match their AI system good luck! When you do finally manage to get somebody on the phone, they are completely clueless how to solve your problem and just say they’re going to “review it“ and then nothing happens. When you call back, you gotta start all over again from the beginning.

Let’s face it, we do it because it’s cheap and it’s convenient. The quality is garbage, The customer service is abhorrent, and it’s just problem after problem after problem lately.

Companies don’t listen unless you stop spending money with them. I have canceled everything I get from Amazon, including Prime/prime Video, Audible, Amazon kids, and any other subscriptions. I’m gonna be doing my best to support small local businesses (the best that I can) and for the things that I do have to buy online; I will be purchasing them directly from the merchants (even if I have to pay shipping).

Of course, I hope people join me in this and I’m happy to give details about some of my nightmares, but it’s time that Amazon stops ruling all of commerce and starts paying more attention to its customers. They can work to earn my business back as hard as they worked to lose it. (I’ll hold my breath)

Those of you that know me know that I’m not a Karen, that I don’t bitch and moan without good reason, or start a rabble on the Internet about companies. I have a lot of forgiveness, a lot of understanding, but Amazon has just gotten absurd lately.

They’re collapsing under their own weight.
