Like, you order on, say, Wednesday, and it says the fastest available time is Saturday, then you pull up the page on Thursday, and it says theres a same-day option for later in the day, and even the free option is now Friday (instead of Saturday). And the funny thing is, you can’t even cancel the earlier order, that now has a later delivery time. Wtf is this? Bezos trolling?

(This isn’t a “lets trash amazon” post, I just can’t understand why companies do this weird shit, I always thought order earlier = arrive faster, this is just… weird)

    They’ve got you thinking they’re the only store you need. That’s how we got this monopoly.

    Well, that and the fact I can occasionally order replacement gear and get it overnight. Given my local stores only stock consumer shit, that’s a huge win.

    But yeah, service, and that monopoly thing. Because sometimes you DO need a 4tb wd red overnight when the spare shows as junk.
