You and the fans need to learn the difference between expressing a problem with what a person said, and over the top behavior.

To put it another way:

OK, you sub-human reverse evolution insectoid 4-fingered blob of toilet grime, if you don't learn to post better, I'll have ninjas come and torture you! Hope you 'understand'.

Sometimes - not quite saying it's you - some parents seem to use kids as human shields to justify their own bad behavior.

'Ya, sure, it may seem like criminally unrestrained rage, but it was about my kid.'

I would say it is not a good idea to insult someone's child or spouse. SandEagle was clearly trolling... I've been back on AT for all of 5 minutes and it is obvious he is one of the biggest trolls here.

It's 95% an insult against the op's parenting, not his kid.

I loved Prime but I get things within three days anyways with free shipping so I let it die out.

If I ordered enough from Amazon, Prime would be worth the $79/year.
I ordered a new smoke detector and CO detector for the house. I needed them before tomorrow, so I signed up for another trial...Ordered them Wednesday, delivered today.

I just don't buy enough from them to justify the cost.

When i ordered my Catleap Monitor from Korea, it was crazy i got it the next day from Korea and i live in Detroit.

Was the most amazed i have ever been and getting something shipped.

I just paid for my 3rd year or Prime. I love it!

I think they were losing enough on it, or else not making enough.

- First they started offering a $1 MP3 download if you opted to use their Super Saver shipping instead of the 2-day Prime shipping. That was the first sign that I saw that they didn't like doing the 2-day thing.

- Then they did all those "add-on" items. I guess too many people were buying $5 of stuff with their Prime shipping.



Interestingly enough, they even have full-size refrigerators that are marked as Prime eligible. Though it looks like they're cheating a little bit: They all specify "Usually ships in 5 to 7 days." So it probably takes a hop on a freight carrier until it gets to a local distribution center. Then UPS shows up and stuffs it into your parcel box, and you go post on ATOT to ask why the tracking# says it's delivered.

Got me curious, so I just put a full size refrigerator in my cart. It has only one shipping option, free prime where delivery is scheduled in 3-5 days. So ya, they break 2 days.

You people really need to learn to have patience. We are lucky we get things shipped to us as fast as we do now.

You guys have it tooooo easy!!


My orders on Amazon take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks.

I have to ship to an office in Florida where I have a box. I have to get it there by Tuesday to catch a plane to Belize. If I miss the deadline, then I have to wait another week.

Once package arrives in Belize it takes another week or so to clear from customs and payment of duties.

In a nutshell, packages from Amazon takes me no less than 3 weeks to arrive and cost me about 3 times the original price after shipping, handling, customs and duties


Do not complain please
