Anyone ever find the "do not ship" emails kind of funny

[ovidiu]

You know, the order has been pending for two weeks because Amazon is pussy, and then they also send you a "do not ship" email. Well duh, how could we ship anyway, we have no access to the address until the order goes past pending and is confirmed!

To top it all off, this actually happened to me....the order took forever to confirm, and then it arrived as a "late ship" in my order screen. So Amazon took two weeks to verify this buyer and then blamed me for the delay. Nice!

Yeah you will get a late order every time that it takes them more than 2 days to confirm a buyer is legit. You would think it was 2 days from the time you get a confirmation to ship.

Amazon loves blaming the seller.....never blame the buyer....nooooooo. It literally took two weeks to confirm a buyer, once.

The other one I love is the "fulfillment by Amazon" scam. I never used it, but I saw some feedback where the buyer left a negative and Amazon added:

we take full responsibility for the fulfillment of this order

Well obviously they don't, since the seller still got a negative feedback!

haha.. that's really messed up. Why do people even use that Fulfilled By Amazon thing anyway?

I purchase from people whom use fulfillment on Amazon only due to the fact that the item arrives faster if you have amazon prime membership. Not only that but if there's a problem, amazon handles all of it and usually gives the buyers an instant refund..

Instant suspension for the seller too as part of the package? As regards to refunds, I am assuming the item has to be sent back for one, unlike with us "little people", who are required to give refunds regardless.

As far as I've seen, only big companies use it. Never seen a small seller using it.

I meant why a seller would use it. I can understand why a buyer might purchase from someone who does.

Already answered. Only big sellers use it, though I believe it's available to everyone. I think the fees end up being not much more than regular selling, so you can cut some manpower costs doing it FBA.

^^ I know, it was cleared up already. I was just addressing Burning's misunderstanding of my original question.

Ah ok..

Amazon is worse than Ebay, they refuse to take responsibility for their crappy software...it's always doing something funky and they can never just fix whatever the problem is for some reason. The employees are fairly bright so that helps alot, they are always pleasant must be the software

oops that is what you said, I should have read thru the whole thread before responding

the items qualify for free super saver shipping.
I guess they do handle returns

I would never use super saver shipping, it's slow, I actually want to get the item sometime in the next century.

Amazon seems more difficult than Ebay! Lol it's the only one I haven't tried.
