Everything I have ordered has arrived on time and in good shape. My problem with amazon is almost alibaba now.
It's almost impossible to buy something from Amazon. Almost everything is sold by some company you never heard of overseas.
It's great if I buy a shimamo part and it's from Shimano store but it's almost always from some little company from China. So, you don't know if the part is counterfeit. Amazon has deniability, etc...
I have thought about cashing out my points and closing prime. Maybe after Christmas.

Amazon is the best. Free returns are Bae and if u ever have problems just talk to customer service on the app. Tfw I rode a stupid asian made board for one day and the base had a crazy amount of scars after, told amazon it was defective and they let me return even tho it was $500. Protip buy American made.

It says "I am just like those smiling happy people you see in TV commercials who write to the manufacturers of laundry detergent to tell them how much they enjoy purchasing and using their product."

Okay, it seems like the side discussion is sliding dangerously close to P&R. We also don't allow direct insults. I deleted some posts. I'm not sure the rest are really allowed.
On the topic at hand, I have had small items "disappear" somehow in transit. My feeling was that they never actually got shipped in the first place. Never even had to ask for my money back. Amazon is a real problem because they make every other company's logistics look lame. I don't know what happened to the "add on" product, it doesn't seem like it exists any more.
