If anyone wants to reach my 15 Kinja followers, I will need at least $10 per comment and I will shill anything you want. 

I’ve been trying to build my mid century architecture instagram page for a while now, organically, and holy shit that is HARD. So far the only offer I have received is free tickets for Albuquerque’s mid century modern homes tour. I live on the other side of the country and make basically no money because over 1/3 of…

The USPS in my area is pretty incompetent, so when Amazon got that oh so wonderful deal with them, stuff was constantly late. This must have started costing Amazon a fortune, as barely anything comes USPS anymore. They transitoned to mostly their own delivery service now which is almost always on time. UPS still…

90% of what I buy comes from Amazon. I have maybe once, in 10 years, had a package take longer than 2 days. These days, I’m all about that Prime same day shipping or Prime Now. But Subscribe & Save and other orders are always prompt and perfect. Maybe you just live in a bad area? I’m in the middle of 4 distribution…

I’ve gotten lots of credit from Amazon when stuff doesn’t arrive when they say it will. If it’s something I’m counting on being there I call them or chat with them and raise a stink I get blatantly lied to every time by the rep saying they’re somehow magically getting UPS to bring my stuff right then. When that…

dont gas stations sell them?

I am slowly coming to hate FedEx. It seems like they’re really quick to say someone refused delivery. I’ve expected things at my old apartment in Queens, or people in my office have expected things, and we’ll sit and wait and then there will be a tracking update saying we didn’t answer the door or refused the…

Counterpoint: Best Buy is terrible. At least Amazon offers choice. I’ll take an Anker lightning cable over whatever private label RocketFish junk Best Buy is selling every day of the week and twice on sunday.

Best Buy is a terrible choice.  They’re shitty to their employees AND their customers.  Amazon might be shitty to their employees but they have fantastic customer service. 

Who gets my money? Amazon

We’ve noticed this a lot lately. It’s beyond frustrating to pay for something and then never get what you pay for so we stopped our Prime membership. It’s not worth it. I buy stuff on jet, Brandless, Target drive up, amazon, and I go into stores too. I’m willing to wait for my stuff. I’m not willing to pay a company…

Last year while on vacation, I dropped my phone and completely broke it. Rather than pay a ton at Verizon for a new phone, I ordered a refurbished one from Amazon using my prime account. They gave me a gauranteed shipping time that said it would be delivered the day I got back from vacation - perfect. However, it took…

This isn’t just a holiday thing. I’m toward the end of our FedEx driver’s route and I routine get things marked as delivered and then they show up 2-3 days later. These aren’t being dropped off by neighbours, they’re being delivered by FedEx late, who don’t ring the doorbell because hey, they’re late.

Prime Shipping is not “Free” It’s what I paid for when I signed-up for it a decade or so ago, and it’s still what I’m paying for. They may have thrown video and other services in, but they’re not why I’m paying for it.

I became a Prime member because shipping times as a “normal” customer seemed to be getting longer. Something would be in-stock but would take days to ship for no discernible reason. “OK,” I thought, “Fine, I will sell my soul for a bit and see if it’s worth it.” And for awhile it was.

Turn off the Internet. There is nothing more to see beyond this.

GENIUS!

You. Are. A. Genius.

Dude. That's....incredible!

I use chopsticks to replace the handle of Swiffer dusters. The trick is to use the throwaway chopsticks WITHOUT separating them, so that you can just slide the pair of chopsticks into the duster exactly same way you would to it with the Swiffer handle. Ta da, you now have a replacement handle, or a second one without…
