amazon are sneaky

valentine75 · Jan 26th, 2008, 10:04 AM

I ordered a cd on asda.com but reiceved a email the other night saying they had to cancel the order, so i decided to go with amazon i found the cd went to the checkout then got to the postage bit i had the option of first glass which would put total price to £14.99 or express delivery guranteed for 25th of jan (i made the order on the 23rd) but this put it to £21.99 i opted for the first class option expecting it to take a week to get here.

Gets up yesterday and lying on the matt is small box from amazon

and the moral of this story is dont let amazon screw you over go with play.com instead they do free postage

I love Amazon 99% of time

Amazon have sellers too so item not from Amazon them selves - this is where postage screws you over! I never buy from private sellers on there (use ebay for that) Amzon have free delivery on certain items under £15 but free delivery on anything over £15 again this does not apply to private sellers. On the right under the buying optionit will say if item is direct from Amazon or not!

Firstly, I am confused. Did it not arrive when you expected it? Secondly, my husband works for amazon.com (not uk of course) and although he likes your avatar, he does not like your critism of amazon.

The cd arrived on the 25th with normal priced delivery, hes saying if hed paid extra for the express delivery then it wouldnt have made any difference as it would still have arrived on the 25th
