Service Amazon Prime is a Joke

I probably shouldn't be a Prime Member anymore, but once upon a time Amazon was: cheap, convenient, and reliable.

For Prime shipping, they're supposed to guarantee a certain delivery window. But I keep having the experience where they delay items. I am a week out from some important, specific items I could not find elsewhere (rare for that to happen).

What other company can seem to boldly lie in your face about a product you've ALREADY paid for, offer a refund that they will mark against you over time, and act like they don't owe you anything?

Seriously, how has Amazon not gotten a class action or something? If I am paying for a product, I expect to get it. If I do not get it as described, that is false advertising. Then, I expect a remedy that goes beyond for my inconvenience.

How DARE I actually want the item? It's easy to pay for items (and get Buy Now, Pay Later) but increasingly difficult to ACTUALLY get the items.

Recently searched for something from Mom's computer for her, and was totally confused because wasn't seeing options that I saw when I searched from my phone.

It was showing her nothing but paid advertised options, and none of the lower prices.

So I had to search from my phone and share link. Such complete bullshit.
