I don’t have YouTube TV so I wasn’t aware of that.

No

This week’s Amazon disaster. Poor packaging ended up destroying my Superman III 4K UHD import. I already have this on Blu-ray and the 4K disc looks fine on the surface, so I might just swap the 4K to a new case, ditch the Region B Blu-ray, and put my Region A Blu-ray in the new case. Even though...

Free Prime delivery in central Arkansas (as well as Memphis and Olive Branch, MS) is still 1-2 days. I don’t think I’ve had a package take longer than 2 days since sometime in 2020 or 2021.

I received two Amazon packages today. Let me rephrase that: I collected two Amazon packaged from a hub locker today. Package #1 was the X-Men UHD disc set, packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. It’s perfect and I can’t wait to watch Famke Janssen in all her 4K glory. Package #2 was a padded...

I’d be clean shaven if I were single. As it is, my wife had decreed that I shall always maintain some form of facial hair so I have a permanent Van Dyke.

I don’t dye my hair or beard. It doesn’t bother me in the least that I’m going grey / white and starting to get a thin but not quite bald spot in the back. That’s been happening for 17-18 years now. In unrelated news, I’ve been married for 19 years… 🤔 If others are bothered by it, they can sod...

We’ll see how my replacement discs are when they arrive this week. Like I said earlier, I reordered Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Baby Driver as well as Dazed and Confused Criterion 4Ks. (Even though my HT is completely dismantled and stored away for what might end up being a few years, my Panny...

I think that requires a doctor with a flashlight.

To be fair, though, I don’t care for the second Tomb Raider film so they can have it back and I also don’t need an empty case. They’re both free returns and I’ll drop them off Monday afternoon at the UPS store on my way from a client site to my hotel.

Yep

This week, I got back to back Amazon screw ups. The first was I ordered a 4K UHD of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. I received a previously opened and resealed copy of Cradle of Life instead. The same day I received what was supposed to have been a 4K UHD of Baby Driver. What I received was an empty 4K...

Prime Video works fine for me. I don’t remember coming across any issues with it since we moved in 2020 and got reliable gigabit internet with 99.99% uptime.

I didn’t think anyone got called a knob outside of the Bob and Doug McKenzie universe. :laugh:

There was one time when I bought a dvd from Best Buy in North Little Rock and the case ended up being empty when I got it home. I returned to the store the next day on my lunch break and they gave me all kinds of grief, even going so far as to suggest I was trying to get a free movie by removing...

Back when I worked for Walmart in the early 2000s, someone bought a desktop computer (when you could still buy full sized desktop tower systems from big box retailers), removed the computer, put a couple of milk jugs full of dirt in the box, taped it back up, and returned it to the store for a...

Someone pulled a fast one on Amazon and I ended up holding the bag… I just opened my freshly delivered copy of 48 HRS 4K UHD and discovered the UHD disc had been removed, along with the digital download code and a very abused and scratched up DVD copy had been placed in the case and shipped...

I’ve never run into that either.

I’m guessing the following CS: customer service PM: price match WM: Walmart

I’ve dealt with Amazon for going on 20 years now and have only had one issue I can think of and it was easily resolved with a phone call. I don’t understand the intense hatred for them. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Now Walmart on the other hand…

Maybe the department in charge is run by the Head Detective.

What is “the department in charge”? Sounds like a phishing attempt of some sort.

I’ve had plenty of discs shipped from North American Amazon facilities in those unsealed sleeves. I’ve only had one missing disc out of about 50 or so and Amazon replaced it after I complained. Strangely enough, the two UK releases I bought from Amazon were shipped in sealed boxes with lots of...

I can’t tell you how many empty boxes with a hole in one side (or the entire end of the box missing) FedEx has delivered at my work. I have been having really good luck with Amazon lately with the exception of two 4K disks that went out for delivery then were damaged in the truck and returned...

Touché.

Yeah I would have contacted UPS directly. They, along with FedEx, geotag all deliveries so when they misdeliver, they have a way to go back and find your package.

I still get Amazon deliveries 7 days a week and have only had one or two packages miss the original delivery date.

Just don’t plant the empty box. We could end up with a strain of invasive cardboard.

I still receive fantastic service from Amazon. I have Prime just for streaming video so free 2 day shipping is a bonus. I think I’ve only had one item that didn’t arrive when it should and that was a carrier delay because they damaged the item and returned it to Amazon on their own. We still get...
