Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
i don’t have a problem with it, it’s caveat emptor.
You do realise that Amazon pay a fraction of the postage costs the general public at a post office do?
its not really about weight and it’s not a sliding scale either, it’s just fixed. Someone will say that’s a bargain when you order 100 x 24 packs of 2L coke. It’ll still be the same price.
actually. I bet if you buy a TV and pick free delivery, it’ll come via courier next day.
Prime means I rarely pay postage, and there is sometimes a difference between Amazon direct and companies using Amazon to sell through...
Many sites store card details.
Just my two penneth...
I buy a lot of things online and gets to a point it’s embarrassing when something arrives at work everyday so I send it to local amazon locker which I pick it up when I do my shopping. No need to sign for, it’s there conveniently when I pick up my food too.
Going completely off-topic, are you the guy who's done some photography for Chase Bliss? If so you posted a short gif earlier in the year of you demoing a reverb pedal, some US boutique thing (proabably analogue). If so do you remember what it was, sounded really nice, but I lost the link I saved.
im not debating your choice of buying it from elsewhere but I do find getting worked up about their postage a bit weird.
Its just postage and it’s just £5.99, let it go, you’ve already bought it elsewhere man, breath.
Plus if you're a stay at home dad, urgent delivery wouldn't be such a big deal I'd have thought, just stream the CD via Spotify if you can't wait for it maybe

The reverb pedal you are thinking of is Hungry Robot Stargazer.
Here are a few tricks with Amazon that I like to use which isn't on other sites.
1 - You can get plugins to track the price of any item. You can see historic prices so you know at an instant whether the price you are looking at are super cheap (and likely to shoot up again soon, like a pricing error) or it's the same as always. Or simply Amazon put it up and then lower it down for Black Friday Sale, making it look like its a sale. They do that, and there are ways to catch them out.
2 - If you sign up to Prime, and pick the free delivery options, you get credits back from other parts of the store, like Pantry stuff (food), or media credits (MP3). So if you don't need something urgently, and you can use these credits, it's almost free money.
3 - The other stuff like Prime video, Music and Cloud Store, a huge bonus if you use them.
4 - Their customer service, the best online, bar none, being the size that they are, it is quite amazing really, and it is 24/7 because you can do chat online. And if you have a late delivery, they will give you a month of Prime for free.
5 - I like the Amazon Lockers, i like they deliver on Sundays.
Sample of tracker plugin below.
Amazon doesn't do customer service.
They do sending you another one.
They are a logistics company - their two solutions are to send another one, or to give you some money back.
Try getting a replacement for a lithium ion battery that turns up damaged and you'll see how bad they are at service. You can't return a damaged battery, so they can't give you a refund. Their processes simply can't cope.
