I lost two shipments this holiday. They were checked in but 0 unit was received. The weird thing is one of the shipments was deleted couple days ago from my shipment queue.

Any shipment with no updates is delated after 90 days

isn't it inevitable that Amazon's monopoly gets broken up?

From what I've gleaned, Amazon and a number of other grocery chains are embracing dark stores, that offer no physical shopping, only online pickup and delivery.  https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanpearson/2022/02/03/the-dark-stores-in-retails-future-prepare-to-be-ghosted/?sh=70d280ad3c4a

I've been in the Amazon Fresh store near me just once, to pick up a Lego set I ordered for a discount if I picked up from there. It was really nice and I've literally never seen so many employees in a grocery store, but I'm pretty set in my grocery habits and there are like twenty options closer, so I won't be changing unless there is a deal. It felt a lot like the Whole Foods nearby, but had a lot of employees clearly picking and packing for grocery orders. The irony that it was built in the carcass of a K-mart was not lost on me.

If Amazon tells me I must bubble wrap a box, do I need to put one of those "plastic bags are not a toy" labels on the bubble wrap?

Just wanted to share a funny one....got a message from the AMZ bots today...

ASIN: B0044EFDWS, SKU: FG-YXJ9-KN3V, Title: Lego City Special Edition Set #3661 Bank Money Transfer

This product has been identified as imitation currency. Amazon policy prohibits the sale of imitation and prop money that is not conspicuously marked. For more information, please see our Currency, Coins, Cash Equivalents, and Gift Cards Seller Help Page

I needed a good laugh today....I sure wish LEGO would conspicuously mark their currency!? WTF? What about Monopoly??? Should that be removed also??

I think these bots are the same as the "fact checkers"....out of touch and full of s**t!

I also got the email, but for the newer version of the set.

I can’t see how this will last with the current price of gas.

Notice Amz's buy limits are being heavily enforced (limit of 3 item); in the past I use to be able to do multiple max orders. Anyone know How long does it last?

Lol, serious. Amazon reordering limits reset 7 days from ordering date. Don’t try to circumvent that for the same address t otherwise you will get a warning; get two and you are done buying. Have family and friends order for you when/if need be

yikes you live on the dangerous side, arent you afraid of the banhammer? Limits typically reset once a week, but i steer clear away from that even since I sell on amazon. Walmart on the other hand....

In my experience, Amazon is the safest online retailer to buy from when it comes to quantity limits because they tell you how many you can buy and prevent you from buying more than that amount for 7 days.  As long as you're not trying to evade their quantity limits by using multiple accounts or other means, you shouldn't have a problem.

Oh Noes!

Will Bezos come out of my computer screen w/ a wet mop on his head and freeze my Amazon Account?

Lucky you've dodge the banhammer. When it comes down from Amazon, it comes down hard.

Yes I think the business account loop hole closed a while ago.

There was a lego i shipped in that said this, No way I was going to do it, So I paid them the 30 cents to do the 40 units, After everything checked I did a fulfillment order to myself. Of course it was not bubble wrapped I opened a case and got that fee for all 40 refunded.
