Two of my recent orders (an antibiotic cream and fabric bandages) arrived pretty much without their proper packaging. They were ripped across the corners and glued seams. I don't mean the Amazon packaging but the boxes that those item are being sold in. The Amazon folks put my items in plastic mailers that are easily getting squished under heavier items. By the time I got my order I received the bandages without a box and same applies to my antibiotic cream.
I wrote a review again and AGAIN Amazon refused to post it. This time they claim I cannot comment on " sellers, delivery, packaging, pricing and availability ".
Ok you're not suppose to say anything about " packaging" (?) but that's a HUGE part of the Amazon business, isn't it? Its "Amazon" logo is written on mailers and cardboard boxes. It's written on all their vans and trucks.
How would you like to go to a store and find Elastoplast bandaids sitting on a shelf without any box… or 500 Q- tips without its box to hold them? Salt without a box?….what kind of nonsense is it?!
Why is Amazon claiming that somehow this is not IMPORTANT to EVERY buyer? What sort of logic are they using?
I pay for Prime membership and I am entitled to having my orders secured in proper boxes.
You cannot reason with bird brains that don't see the basic principles of proper and secure delivery after a purchase has been made. In fact, I believe they truly don't care.
How many more of these dumb responses am I still going to get?
I can't believe the greed Amazon Canada is displaying right now ( and has for the last year or so).
They (Amazon) would say it's not us, it's the individual companies or private small entities that raise the prices. Amazon is FAR from doing ANYTHING about it, either. In fact, they happily turn a blind eye on the price gouging since asking for more $ gets them a nice little cut that goes straight into their pockets.
It has become disgustingly obvious. It's not about making money but becoming filthy rich.
They have no conscience, decency or soul.
I have been with Amazon for quite some time but I have never seen what I'm seeing right now.
In post pandemic times, it's been so hard on everybody to find a decent place to live, manage their daily grocery shopping or just shop for anything else.
Example of Amazon's price gouging:
I had been buying planter's peanuts for a few months. The last time I bought them, a bag of 600 grams was selling for $6.99. Things had changed though and the price jumped to $17 for the same bag of peanuts. I quit buying them and found something else. I can only say that after a while the price had dropped again. I suppose it's only because most of us stopped buying them.
Prices change on a daily basis.
Just last week I purchased a block of lovely watercolor paper for a little over $15 for 50 thick sheets. I thought it was a lovely deal and went back to check on it three days later. Surprise? This time it went up to $25 dollars for exactly the same stuff. Who does that? What's wrong with them? I guess it's the same thing again: " let's see how many idiots we can find out there that are going to pay for it?"
Not a chance. Another pass from me on that.
It's been happening to me on so many occasions I'd run out of space here to tell you all about it.
One last thing, have you noticed how they started manipulating prices based on color?
I can't possibly remember coming across men's golf polos ( for my husband) and noticing that a shirt in a color I like gets to be $20 to $40 more than the next one from the same cheap Chinese exporter?
Who has the decency to jack up the price by that much?
It's called GREED and that's all there is to it.
It's disgusting, abhorrent and makes me want to
That's all I wanted to say in this rant.
I will continue bringing new observations as soon as they're available.
Thank you,

I am with Amazon Prime and have been waiting for a roll of plastic bags since October 11. They are supposed to be here on Saturday, so the total wait is almost 2 weeks. They keep changing the delivery time pushing it further and further. If I am paying for Prime delivery and have to wait two weeks for an item, what's the point of having a Prime Membership? I am paying for it! It should be like a Pizza deliveries. After a certain time of waiting, let it go for free.
Amazon is making a sickening amount of money right now. Almost everything is priced 3 to 4 times more than it should. Somebody is getting rich here with very little accountability in their own department.
To actually have someone from Amazon respond to your complaint is nearly impossible. I get to talk to someone in India (with terrible English) who told me on the phone that they were uncomfortable writing a complaint. This was followed by an e-mail saying they the item will be delivered by the 18th of October. Well, when I woke up this morning there is yet another e-mail from Amazon saying it should be delivered by Saturday 22nd and Monday 24th of October.
That's a complete joke but we need to get used to this as there is no direct contact between the customers and the Amazon representatives to hear out their issues.
My reviews don't make it to the Amazon reviews page. Anything negative is quickly creamed out and out of sight. Awful!
This is one of those "You have seen one, you'seen them all" shows. Don't expect Jonathan or Drew or The Magnolia crew.
It always comes to the last reveal when It becomes obvious whether the show was worth watching or not.
Regardless of the degrees the decorator holds to her credit, I feel she does not know the first thing about applying color to small spaces, scale or over accesorizing.
All in all, another low budget disappointment.
