RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think Amazon is now on the downward part of the bell curve. (lemmy.world)

I noticed this happening over Christmas. The one big claim to fame that Amazon has is fast and "free" shipping. But that seems to be going away now.

Alot of stuff I ordered in November and December of last year, took longer than usual to arrive. I just chalked it up to how busy the holiday season is.

Fast forward to this month, and all of the items I ordered took longer to arrive. Even "Prime" listed stuff. On the website it said shipping next day. It took two days to arrive. Stuff listed as two days to arrive turns out to be a week now, and so called "Prime next day shipping" is now only guaranteed if you spend 35 dollars or more. And even then it still arrives a day late.

So to everyone hating on Amazon, rejoice! It looks like it's reign is starting to dip. I've been doing alot more shopping on Walmart who seems to have better pricing and shipping.

I wonder who the next big online retailer will be?

If you think it's a "dumb idea" for a community, why are you here?

Because it was on the front page and I saw the post, I don't normally change my response based on the community the post comes from. I saw something stupid and felt compelled to say so. My bad for not realizing this is apparently a place where we are supposed to pretend any complaint is valid.

If my opinion isn't wanted then its fine if the community mods want to ban me.
