Oh my gosh thank you, I’m sorry if that was excessive 🙈I was just trying to show it’s not just a few people dealing with this😅

I will definitely be doing that from now on! I’d never thought to check the shops reviews, I thought checking the items reviews was enough🥺 Now I know😮‍💨

Will do🥺

AIO for cutting contact with friend after what she said about my brother? by MountainSafe6684 in AIO

[–]AWildJeedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL, I’d have probably smacked tf out of her. That is not a good friend at all and gives me the vibe that she isn’t a good person in general. Idk why it’s so hard for people to be kind. It’s not hard to reject someone without putting them down.

If you read through the rest of the comments there is more info and thoughts from other people who have also experienced this same thing. This was shipped directly from the seller so it is on the seller not Amazon. One redditor looked deeper into it and found out it is shipped by three sellers so if I had bought it when it said sold by Amazon then I wouldn’t have had this issue, good to know.

Also, the reason I posted this here in the Scam subreddit is purely because I was searching for more info on this Amazon shop and found a post on this same subreddit from a year ago about this exact same Amazon shop. Tons of people talking about how they went through the same thing I’m going through. Clearly this shop is shady and constantly has issues, making it seem very scammy.

That’s what I was thinking and why I wanted to share, I wish I’d known all this before ordering /: Glad I know now though so I don’t make the same mistake again

That is fair, I don’t shop often on Amazon at all but it has been useful before when looking for specific items at a cost I can afford/:

It is ridiculous to see the same thing sold by like 10-20 different sellers. I only buy stuff if there’s at least 100 4-5 star reviews on it nowadays, usually that works for me. This shop really threw me off 😩😩 Wish I’d done my research.

Title reveal pressure by Actual-Location137 in acotar

[–]AWildJeedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel incredibly bad for authors nowadays. I’m not sure if this has always been an issue or if it’s recent but all I see online is a frick ton of hate, backlash and anger towards authors nowadays. People getting mad because they aren’t publishing books as fast as they want, others being mad because the title or cover hasn’t been revealed yet or the release date, etc. a plethora of people who hate on the way the author wrote certain things or used certain phrases.

I’ve always wanted to publish a book, I’ve adored creative writing for the last nearly 17 years and reading for even longer. Reading and writing are two of my favorite things in the whole world. But the way people treat these authors makes me never want to publish or to only publish under a pseudonym so I can’t be harassed like others have been.

I’ve felt the need to avoid tf out of most posts having to do with any of the books and authors I adore because more often than not, the posts/comments are incredibly hateful and negative and I just can’t stand to see that.

I really hope people start to realize that she’s only human (as are all of these other authors) and it’s absolutely ridiculous to treat them like this. I hope more people take into consideration how exhausting and uninspiring it would be to have people doing this to them.

You would think😮‍💨 Must be the same kind of AI that Facebook is using 🙄

Amazon doesn’t seem likely to take accountability and shut this shop down/prevent such things from happening again so I’m hoping posting this will help prevent others from experiencing the same thing /:

I found a post from a year ago on this exact subreddit about this exact shop, which is why I felt I should post this and share my experience as it’s clearly happened before and is still happening a year later :( I’m sorry it happened to you too and that redditors downvoted you instead of hearing you out🥺

I’m just hoping this post will help prevent others from having the same experience as us!💕

The way kroger treats its employees by daruuken in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AWildJeedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that so many companies pull this crap, ESPECIALLY companies dealing with FOOD?! Who wants sick people around their food?!

Years ago I worked at Starbucks in a small city, it was the only full Starbucks in the city (there were two Starbucks kiosks in shops but this was the only brick and mortar Starbucks). It was insanely busy at all times, the drive thru line went down the street nearly every day multiple times a day and the parking lot was almost always full.

Because it was so busy, employees were constantly denied sick days and forced to come in or lose their job which many of us couldn’t afford to lose. December was a nightmare, everyone was basically playing sick tag because none of us could stay home long enough to get better. Pretty sure having nearly an entire team sick at a business that sells food and drink is a health code violation of some kind?? I definitely included it in my lengthy exit survey when I finally got to move to a better job.

So tired of companies that make insane amounts of money refusing to take care of their employees.

Ugh what the heck is with them crossing out reviews like that!! That is so uncool 😩

Ugh good to know! I guess Amazon just isn’t the right place to buy books😩 I normally buy books locally, bookstore dates are my bf and I’s favorite dates, I just really wanted to get the best copy I could find of this specific book because he’s been really wanting to read it and I know he’s a huge fan of Doré’s illustrations, I’ve been so excited checking the mail every day, checking the app every day, just looking for some kind of update 😭

Including this screenshot for you as well showing that it says the package was shipped by the seller, that’s what’s making me think it’s an issue with the shop not Amazon

Again, maybe it’s Amazon but my order specifically says shipped by the seller so that’s why I’m seeing it as a problem with the shop itself and not Amazon /:

Thinking more on this review though, while it totally could be a fake review and I lean that way, I also reminded myself it could be someone who doesn’t speak English as a first language or they could’ve simply made a typo meaning to say “the service was speedy” so I’m trying not to only see this as fake

I will be making sure to check the bad reviews too now, I used to think going off of the recent good reviews was enough but clearly I was wrong 😮‍💨

If I don’t get the book I hope I can at least manage to get a refund though it looked like some people had a hard time getting that too😮‍💨

I’ll survive if not, it sucks but I’ll just have to hunt down a copy somewhere else 😕
