@intromatt but but... When I decide I want something at 10 in the evening, it NEEDS to be delivered tomorrow.. I don't care if workers in Amazon warehouses are being exploited, I want that micro-usb to usb-c converter I just now realised I can't live without.. That's how things work now..

@intromatt
I already try to order things in advance, that's life over here. I appreciate your input though.
It's just that I'm tired of receiving less benefits than other Prime memebers. Less benefits than what their page says we should get. And the price is the same as in the states. -
@osiris1337
Amazon does treat their employees badly. I would suggest staying away from working for them. -
When I need something I almost always order it at least 10 days in advance so it arrives on time.
This way you can receive your items well before you normally would - way faster than the fastest shipping and you don't have to pay for Prime.
It's all a big corporate sham.

@ODXT oh, I was never planning to work for them :) My reply is a sidenote on how expecations of people have changed for the worse.. I do get your rant isn't about that and agree with you.

@intromatt
True, I do buy things 2 weeks in advance. But my rant is about how Amazon has changed over time. How Prime keeps getting worse if you live in an American colony. -
Maybe they just don't have enough drones or the stuff you're ordering to heavy or awkward to carry?
Order simpler (nice light square boxes) stuff next time, it will come faster.

@intromatt
Drones? I'm not sure if you're joking. But I'm not talking about a 1 time issue. I'm talking about changes that have affected the country in which I live.
Please see the list at the top.
Don't be like jimmy... test before committing! 😋
There's a meowing duck hidden in Amazon's html code
Originally a comment, but thought it made a good rant.
My experience with Amazon so far... (I live in the colony known as Puerto Rico)
2011: Can no longer get free shipping on books. Apparently, we could before because of a "bug"
2015: Your Prime membership no longer gets you 2 day shipping. Only standard shipping.
2017: Free shipping 3-7 days? Now it takes 3 weeks to a 4+ weeks. (Packages get here faster without Prime for some reason)
2018: Tax of 11.5 when buying directly from Amazon.
