Amazon.com Sucketh Mightily

Amazon apparently is having ISSUES.

All day yesterday I was seeing "Estimated Shipping Date: November 13, 2007, Estimated Delivery Date: November 14, 2007" Bummer. And it had not actually SHIPPED by the time I went to bed.

This morning I find this email that says:

Quote
Greetings from Amazon.com,

We're writing to let you know that we are having difficulty processing
your [credit card] with [expiration date one digit wrong]

Why this is TOTALLY B.S. is that I had a split order and they billed me JUST FINE On the book. Just like they billed me on that same card info for the last dozen purchases.

I think they deliberately hosed up the expiration date so they wouldn't have to admit this is a problem on their end. At any road, I was forced to go BACK into the order and fix the expiration date on the CC info, and now it says:

Notice that they already SHIPPED and BILLED the book a month ago!

And here's the email I just sent:

You're email to Amazon sucks. It reads like an EQ2flames post from a whiney 12-year old who didn't get his Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock for christmas.

And I'm paraphrasing: "WTF - I'll pwn you because I play EQ2 and I'm smart."

I mean, seriously...you called shenanigans. If I got that email I'd circulate it around the office so everyone could laugh at it, then promptly delete it.

Edit: Welcome to Flames

The punjabis answering emails wouldn't know what shenanighans means, anyway.

That was my EXACT thought.

Jeez man. If you want people to take you seriously, talk like an informed adult and not a whiny teen with Daddy's credit card.

I agree with Rezsnore.

Otis used the wrong Your/you're! I knew you would slip up!

No but serial, Otis is right. I lol'd at the, "everquest 2 players aren't dumb, we have our own forum!"

On the actual topic.. Amazon doesn't have to make up excuses. If they don't have it available to ship, they can (and do) just say so. They are my go to online store for nearly everything and I've always found them to be upfront and trustworthy.

They don't NEED your business, so I really doubt that they are going to go out of their way to pull one over on you specifically.

So put on a tinfoil hat and next time, direct download or shuffle your ass out to the real life store.
