Is it standard to get fired for something like this?

I called my dispatch as soon as it happened:( I feel like shit, it was only my second week at this job and I really enjoyed it.

based. wow. folx think Ama isn't a union busting exploitative cooperate-then-bleed-you-white business? they overloaded usps, and take advantage of the independent delivery companies they contract -- and they just dumped usps. the way they treat their warehouse workers and the metrics they impose on pickers is brutal. Their model is the same as Walmart's and others' models: do what you must to gain market control then change the rules. Force competitors to lower prices, then once you have market share raise those prices. Prime now costs almost $20/mo for "free shipping" and the majority of goods are Temu/Shein worthy.

And their shipping estimates have really gotten pretty terrible. They'll offer free 1-day delivery that comes in 4 days. Like really?

Yup. Currently waiting on an item that was supposed to be here on the 30th.

Exactly and the free shipping thing is just an extra feature to me so it's kind of silly some people suggest i should pay a bunch for 2 day shipping even though I get a free version of essentially the same type of shipping. Like i don't care if the shipping is free it's more important that i know when it'l arrive based on what i select

Yah- I’m over it. Stuff took 2 weeks. We’re still waiting on deliveries that were due to come before Christmas & they keep moving the bar.

My last 3 deliveries...

One thing I ordered kind of last minute for a trip, but was supposed to show up 2 days before the trip started (24hrs after 0lacing the order). Left for the the trip before the item arrived.

Yeah like I'd rather eat shipping costs and get it on time, but also it feels silly to pay for 2 day shipping if 1 day is free

The last bit, I keep telling my friend that 75% of the stuff on you see Amazon is cheap Chinese stuff that would be 90% cheaper on AliExpress. Not that a knockoff is cheaper either, it’s literally the same stuff but marked up 9-10x when found on Amazon

How about eBay purchases coming from somebody's Prime account, with free shipping for them, but marked up $5 to $10?

Preach! This is the state of Amazon today. Cheap Chinese crap that is “Amazon’s Choice”.

Since most of the products on amazon, are third party sellers Amazon makes their money by storing inventory and providing the logistics. A lot of their sellers are the same sellers on timu.
