I put this in Sightings because I'm still sighting it now. And I left off the seller's name just for the sake of their own sanity and the probable dumbness of the "reviewers" involved.
I ordered a DVD from a seller off Amazon. He/she/it (dunno how it works) had the cheapest copy which was what I wanted. When I went to order it on the 16th, it told me that the item would be estimated to arrive between the 24th and the 8th...hence, I WAS INFORMED of a long delivery time BEFORE I finalized my purchase. So, if I'm doing my math right, the item has a little less than a month to get here.
Now, this isn't what I have a problem with. When you want to buy for cheap, sometimes you sacrifice time, and I know and am fine with that, and that seems to especially be what this seller is all about...getting it cheap although not necessarily quick. Cool. However, I noticed they had about 8% negative feedback, so I went to see what it said. There I found el boneheados.
"They don't ship within 2-4 days...and you can't track your package with them."
I dunno, but this was told to me upfront when I placed the order. Again, when you go for cheap, you sacrifice some things. Read the information on them.
"When I purchased the movies, I thought they would be delivered with in 2-3 days"
Ahem, see above again. You "thought" it would be delivered...?
"It's been 2 weeks! Still no cd! It was supposed to be a birthday gift. I'm still empty handed. Will never order from this seller again."
Try waiting another week, dunderhead. When the thing gives you a timeframe, keep it within the timeframe, yo. ORDER IN TIME!
"Its been more than 16 days since I placed my order and STILL have not recieved it. I placed 3 other orders the same day from different sellers and have received them all. This one is a no show!"
READ THE TIMEFRAME!!
"Delivery took a long time"
Ugh.
"Shipping took forever!"
UGH!
"wer is my order!?"
*facepalm*
"Receipt of items was slow. If they are that big and busy, I guess I just need to use someone else."
The Amazon version of "Everywhere Else".
" i haven't recieved it yet?"
Are you SUUUUUUURE?
And my personal favorite.
"Too slow. Ordered 2 movies on 22 Oct from *this seller* and 1 on the same day from *other seller*. The *other seller* movie arrived in a week. Still waiting on the *this seller* shipment. Shipment didn't even go out until 31 October and then I'm supposed to wait until 13 Nov. What are they using -- Pony Express. This is 2006. It should not take this long."
*siiiiiiiiiigh*
Meanwhile, 33,329 left feedback that basically said "Yup, we got it when you said we would. Good job on that!" And I guess about 40 people out of the total had legitimate (or at least legitimate-sounding) complaints.
Me? I still got a few weeks to see how it goes. *sets stopwatch*
