I have experienced some real difficulties in life. \u00a0I mean serious stuff. \u00a0Ppfft!! \u00a0Not really.<\/p>\n
I mean, I truly do not know what it is like to be hungry. \u00a0Sure, I’ve been hungry but not starving.<\/p>\n
I truly do not know what it is like to grow up in a bad home life. \u00a0I’ve seen some bad stuff. \u00a0But it wasn’t where I grew up. \u00a0My kids, my wife and myself grew up with people that gave their all to their kids as well as others. \u00a0Perfect? \u00a0No. \u00a0But dang neart. \u00a0The things that weren’t perfect made us better. \u00a0You all know what I mean.<\/p>\n
So, when I dialed the 1-888 # tonight, I knew that I was not going to get Jeff Bezos on the direct line. \u00a0But, when I sent the respond email this morning, I also expected better than I got.<\/p>\n
Paul Harvey time. \u00a0(Play commercial–insert sponsor here–)<\/p>\n
I hate shaving. \u00a0I hate it. \u00a0But, I have to most days. \u00a0I have the facial hair of a purebred Berkshire pig. \u00a0Not these dang good crossed up berks that we now show. \u00a0I mean the old school Berks that had hair that immediately dulled an Oster #10 blade. \u00a0 So, does that mean that I can grow a cool, thick beard\u2026.NO! \u00a0It means that each individual hair is thick enough to dull any given razor blade.<\/p>\n
My morning routine consists of brush hogging these 84 thick hairs with a Panasonic electric shaver. \u00a0Then, I smear some DSC shave butter on my face and use a DSC blades razor to smooth this mug out. \u00a0It is a pain in the ass. \u00a0BUT, if I don’t do it, two days later, I need a Stihl chainsaw to cut these coarse hairs. \u00a0And let’s not discuss the ear hair or nose hair.<\/p>\n
And now, for the rest of the story. \u00a0A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a screen and blade kit from amazon. \u00a0I received a screen from amazon, but no blades. \u00a0But the order was on time. \u00a0But billed full price. WELlLlLLl ..ck! \u00a0 Maybe, I effed up the order. \u00a0Doubt it, but maybe. \u00a0So , I reordered from a different provider. \u00a0The email said that it would be delivered by Aug. 20-22. \u00a0It was a DHL tracking #.<\/p>\n
On the early AM of the 24th, I sent an email that I had not received these parts. \u00a0That night, I got an email saying that the “post office is experiencing some delays, would\u00a0but we would greatly appreciate it if you\u2019d be willing to wait a couple of more days.” \u00a0 Wait? \u00a0What? \u00a0That set me off. \u00a0It was a DHL now a USPS shipment. \u00a0Like the old school Casa Bonita restaurants and a table that wanted some more chips or sopapilla–a RED flag went up.<\/p>\n
DHL was the original delivery service. \u00a0Now, a USPS tracking #. \u00a0You tell me. \u00a0Should I be concerned? \u00a0So, I checked my card account. \u00a0Guess what? \u00a0I’ve already paid for this shit and it is past due on delivery.<\/p>\n
I called Amazon. \u00a0Not the # on the emails\u2026.but that little company called Amazon. \u00a0First, poor bastard. \u00a0( I got no other term). \u00a0 I apologized and then explained how the world used to shop at wal-mart, then amazon, and I wanted him to keep his job. \u00a0Dude, here’s my problem. \u00a0What do I do?<\/p>\n
His reply\u2026.file claim to refund money now or wait till monday to see if product ships. \u00a0I was polite. \u00a0I swear, pinky dog double swear. \u00a0It wasn’t his fault that he had a shitty job answering a call with me on the other line. \u00a0He thanked me.?!<\/p>\n
Dude, I want the parts. \u00a0But, I wanted them when I ordered them. \u00a0So, we agreed that I needed to talk to product manager.<\/p>\n
And her name was\u2026\u2026..MARGE. \u00a0 \u00a0RUSM?! \u00a0 No, it wasn’t. \u00a0I call BS. \u00a0I called her by name numerous times\u2026..all with delayed response. \u00a0Like she had to remember who Marge was. \u00a0Lots of phone sounds and talking in the background. \u00a0I envision a notebook with a page that consists of “NON-adversial names” and MARGE was close to the top.<\/p>\n
You can ask the Dragon Lady. \u00a0I was polite. \u00a0I explained how I didn’t want my money back if I got the product that I ordered\u2026.in a timely fashion. \u00a0AND\u2026.AND\u2026that I didn’t like the emails about one provider being the delivery agent and NOW blaming a different group. \u00a0I feel cheated. \u00a0I do. \u00a0But it could be worse.<\/p>\n
I am real sure that I have let these words loose from my lips before, “I would rather be kicked in the nuts than ever enter a wal-mart again.” \u00a0 Well, many more episodes like this from amazon and I guess that I will take TWO kicks to the nuts and venture back into that side of the darkness.<\/p>\n
In the end, if you are as big as amazon\u2026don’t blame it on anybody. \u00a0Just fix and get on down the road.<\/p>\n
And in the end, all I want is what I ordered and paid for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
