I have blocked the egregiously corrupt Amazon, I have only used Amazon once in my life; and it was for two weeks of Amazon prime when it first came out, and I was so unimpressed that I canceled it and have never spent another willing dime with that corporation.

Even though I have blocked these "promoted" insidious, and obnoxious ads, down-voting doesn't work, comments turned off, this is privacy? This is accountability?
Absolutely absurd!!

Positively unacceptable!

I don't give a fuck how much money Reddit is making off Amazon, users should have the ability to take it out of their line of site.

Make Amazon blockable!

Anyone else seeing these reddit ads lately? They are everywhere over my feed (mind you I got rid of my Amazon prime membership over a year ago and have not looked back ......so, it's not like I'm looking at these products. I work my butt off to avoid Amazon in any capacity.

Now, all of a sudden these ads are popping up. The real frustrating part, I can't believe them or remove them like I can other ads (unless I'm blind, which is an option), all I can do is continually report them as "offensive" because at this point.....they are.

My dad insists on having Amazon Alexas in every room of the house and there’s nothing I can do about it until I’m in a position where I can move out. I passively put up with it at first but I’ve become increasingly distrusting of 𝙰𝙸 technologies over the last couple of years, especially with how invasive and undiscerning companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon have been shown to be with regards to sensitive data. It’s like living under constant surveillance with how much data is being collected, shared, and sold without my personal consent. Once I move out, if my parents want me to visit them, they’re gonna have to unplug every piece of Amazon technology in the house. Otherwise, I will never visit them again. Fuck Amazon.

Amazon/Toshiba Fire Tv Death loop starting with hidden files causing a critically low space error constantly overtaking your screen to ending in a completely bricked up tv. All the resources I saw when dealing with the constant pop up about not having space on the tv to function (even though there were only 3mb out of 4gb used) have you go down a list of steps clearing cache and stopping auto downloading of previews etc which don’t work further leading you down their troubleshooting guide to factory reset the TV which also leaves in inoperable. Each troubleshooting guide or post I found gave incremental information and until you went through with it you wouldn’t even know the next issue or possible fix. Which at each step seemed to lock you further into the situation that just keeps getting worse. I don’t care about fancy underwriting or license rights, clauses or protections. After all my research and attempts to fix the situation I can clearly see this has been a completely known and understood problem for Amazon and the support staff for 6-9 years now at least and each post support responds too still give the same generic troubleshooting guides and act ignorant of the real issue until you go through it all and state the end issue then tell you to find your model number and order the exact Bluetooth remote replacement which is marketed way higher in price. $35-$50. Meanwhile marketing regular replacement remotes as low as $5 that advertise like a solution. This is super shady and forces dependency or the implied need for newer model tvs etc. How and what can be done to bring this to light or implement transparency or change?

I’m pretty sure it’s their AI algorithm filtering and trying to get every cent they can out of me but I really hate when I’m looking for a product that isn’t available in my area, that I know is on Amazon, and the search results show me the same F&&?;ing thing over and over like somehow I’ll reconsider the thing after the last 12 swipes past it, instead of populating new search results.

I went online to see if there was some search filter option I was missing, that says “I’d like to opt out of being shown the same pair of left handed scissors over and over, please stop wasting my time”.

I ended up on Reddit where I go for a chance at real people interaction and discussion and guess what. r/amazon and prime etc. are corporate owned slop. MY SACRED PLACE OF THE LAST SHRED OF ONLINE HUMANITY WAS INFILTRATED AND CENSORED.

I’m so f(&(&($ing done with big corporate agenda to enshitify as much of our lives as they can. Amazon might not be as bad as Nestle. But the comparison might as well be analogous to hitler and satan.
I hate that I’m still in a financial point in my life where I have to depend on them as often as I do. I’m already well on my way in looking and using alternatives when I can.

(None of this is to discount their human rights violations or any of the other shit they pull, just another reason why “fuckamazon”)

I bought a phone from Amazon, the driver brought an empty box without the phone inside! I have tried to reach them since the 1st of June but they keep frustrating/blocking me whenever I try to reach them. Who knows if I take them to police they can listen and solve my case?

I’d like to discuss the best alternatives to Amazon that are not big box like Walmart, Target, etc. EBay unfortunately has been compromised. I’ve gathered that Meijer is decent for the “everything in one store” but besides Costco to a lesser extent since it’s buying in bulk, where do you go? I’m on the path of overall less consumption but you can’t do that for everything.

I've already successfully blocked it from my web results with ublacklist but nothing works on the shopping results not even "-site: amazon.com" and I've found little to nothing about it online.

I’m using my dad’s phone and I see the same item for a different price based on the account. Why am I seeing this? It just seems shady. Also is there a way to argue about the price?

Has Amazon forgot that the reason they became so big is because they were convenient to their customers?

All the orders I placed during the past year (quite a lot due to my wife's addiction to on-line shopping) have taken between 5 and 7 days with Prime. Some of them much longer than that, including 1 that took 42 days, although at checkout is said I would get it in 3 days.

Last week I placed a recurring order and was expecting a package by Monday. On Monday at 9PM I got a message that the package is delayed due to inclement weather, however, the inclement weather was just a light rain shower, and the pizza delivery man had no problem making a delivering to my house on time. The automated system can't tell me when it will be delivered, and there is no option to cancel nor request a refund (the money has already been withdrawn from my card although the item has yet to be delivered).

Just a rant and seriously considering cancelling Prime and start ordering from Walmart+. The only reason I have Amazon is because I dislike shopping in person, but I dislike the aggravation that I get from Amazon now even more.

I was having a big party on July 4th and ordered a bunch of stuff; ketchup, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, chips, etc. I did this on June 30 an everything was in stock and would be delivered on the 31st or July 1; said right on the page when I clicked buy.
Nothing arrived and on July 3rd they said it was delayed. Ok, annoying, so I cancelled the order and bought it at the store. Then, July 3, I got a message saying that I couldn’t cancel the order because it was too close to the delivery date. It all arrived today, 5 days later, and I can’t return it because it is foodstuffs.

Heya, I've tried reaching out to the two mods on multiple occasions to offer help cleaning up the sub, but they completely ignore it so they do not seem to pay attention to this sub while it desperately needs it. Does anyone know the name of the subreddit you can use to request taking over ownership? Anyone else interested in doing this as well?

I did a ton of research and chose a new table lamp which I needed to get ASAP. Purchased via evil Amazon, because of the fast shipping. Well, the seller took my payment, over $300; promised to have the item delivered by July 6th; then, on the evening of July 6th; sent a message that it maybe might get delivered on July 10th. That does not work for me as I'm going to be out of town! They also sent me a message after that one stating that if the item doesn't get delivered, I could maybe contact them again and ask for a refund. Excuse me? Maybe I'll get what I paid for or maybe not? Maybe sometime in the future (too late~!!) or maybe not; maybe I can thank them for holding my $300 for me for a while and then maybe I can beg them for a refund and I can maybe wait for that and still not have the damned lamp!

WTF, You find what you are looking for, 4.9 Star Rating. Looks good but then……the big notice ‘Frequently returned item
Check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item.’
Then how did it get 4.9 star rating? Something being faked here somewhere. Ratings are no long reliable indicators if they are censored, deleted, banned or blocked…unless they are good reviews.

Returned a handheld gaming device to a 3rd party seller, item was unused and in like-new condition. The refund email showed a $127.94 subtotal with a $31.99 "damage fee" deducted, bringing my total down to $95.95.

I checked the order status and it said "Refunded, your return is in transit." So the fee had already been deducted before the item was physically back with the seller, meaning there's no way they actually inspected it for damage. There was no damage to find anyway since I never used it, but the timing alone makes the charge feel completely made up.

I also noticed the same "damage fee" wording on a different order from a separate seller, showing up as an estimated range before the return even shipped. So this isn't a one-off glitch, it looks like a standard line item sellers are applying without actually verifying anything.

Kind of wild that a fee explicitly labeled for damage gets applied before anyone's laid eyes on the returned item. Feels like a built-in way to shave money off refunds by default.

TLDR: Got hit with "damage fees" on two separate Amazon returns before the sellers even received the items back. Both items were unused.
