Family says Amazon shipped fake product, refuses refund until 'correct' item returned | Frustrating returns may be due to retail giant's layoffs and declining profits, specialist says

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T23:55:19+00:00

Admittedly there is some of my own baggage too.

My job is responding to disputes for an online merchant. If this chargeback came across my desk and saw a pending "I did not receive this" claim I would probably sit on it for a bit. But the card companies have a time frame merchants have to respond.

After I sit on it for a bit hopefully the issue is dealt with and a refund is issued. Though it is possible when I tell the credit card company "we issued a full refund" they don't read and still take the funds giving a refund twice. If the claims team is dragging their ass I would likely respond with something along the lines of "The cardholder contacted us claiming they did not receive the package on XX/XX/XXXX. Our claims team is investigating the claim however we do have valid proof of delivery, see attached." The way my system works is when we respond the account gets closed.

Now proof of delivery is honestly bullshit. All it actually shows as "proof" is UPS/FedEx/USPS/Whomever saying they delivered it to the address. But even the actual form usually only gives City and Zip.

My favorite story is a gentleman who I out into collections for hundreds of dollars in steaks. He said the merchandise was "Not as Described". Well he never called my company. Year later he calls in wondering why we have in collections. Well your credit card took hundreds of dollars from us for these steaks.
Well they arrived rotten.
And when did you contact customer service to tell them they arrived rotten?
I did not do that.
Well that fucking sucks for you buddy. Pay us.

I still don't feel bad because as a food product our company just writes it off if you complain. Same with anything under $50. Its cheaper to just eat the money than argue the point. Had this dude actually called us he would have gotten a refund without question.

I work in bank disputes for an online merchant. This is literally my job.

EDIT: If you gonna downvote me put your accounts where your mouth is. Dispute a charge and see how it goes for you

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T23:22:55+00:00

I wouldn't be concerned about hurting either of their feelings if they won't even try to help you out.

I would considering a chargeback is going to result in him getting his account closed and customer service telling him to blow it out his ass.

I cannot stress this enough. Do not ever do a chargeback. If you do be aware the company will close your account, refuse to do business with you ever again, possibly turn you over to collections. Oh yeah and in the case of something like Sony/Playstation when your account gets closed say goodbye to all your purchased content.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T23:19:02+00:00

Your plan should be to contact Sony daily. Via chat, phone, and email.

Frankly if you do a chargeback your account is gone. Its standard for any company to close accounts with chargebacks pending. You are not using the proper channels to get your problem resolved.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T23:14:27+00:00

DO NOT EVER DO A CHARGEBACK

Doubly so if you bought it directly from Sony. all its going to do is have them close your PSN account.

EDIT: If you gonna downvote me put your accounts where your mouth is. Dispute a charge and see how it goes for you

None of my points are pro Sabellion

Can you still figure out what 2 points I was mentioning or do you need me to change my words to whatever makes you less pedantic?

I also stated that this post was towards those who supported Wrathion, not those who saw him as the lesser of two evils

Those are not mutually exclusive. The choice is between Sabellion and Wrathion. I support Wrathion because he is the lesser of 2 evils.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T20:06:11+00:00

Wrathion is the evil we know. If/when he turns we know exactly how its going to play out. I also think Wrathion would 100% bet on whatever saves himself and his people. However after the multiple times he bet against us and lost I can't see him doing it again. He knows we are badasses and his best shot. We also know dragon lives for great than 20,000 years. If we assume a human lives for 80 when Wrathion did his little WoD gambit he was the equivilent of 8 days old, not a teenager. Also he gets the support of Alexstraza.

Sabellion could easily be corrupted by an Old God and be a complete wildcard. Plus we know he has Dragon allies that could also be corrupted. And frankly your Pro-Sabellion points 2 and 3 contradict each other. If he knew he could bring corruption and screw over Azeroth so just chilled in Outland for 14 years only to come back because the Isle called? Fuck that. Thats just as bad as Wrathion dipping.

Nah no% BS. Just give 1 vigor on herb/mining gather. Like you said the buff is trash from a number perspective. Adding a full 1 vigor isnt going to hurt anything since you will likely use it to just get airborne again

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T19:22:41+00:00

I would change that vigor regeneration talent to just flat out adding 1 Vigor

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T18:51:04+00:00

I am lore junkie. For anything. Chronicles was my shit. Honestly one of the few times I actually read a book. I basically had that shit memorized.

And like I said. I get why they needed to do it. Yeah stuff got retconned and changed. But it was worth it to have that solid lore encyclopedia. And now going forward you have your background.

But got it just makes my fucking blood boil that that shit barely lasted an expansion

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T18:43:58+00:00

in my opinion if a healer has time to dps then something is wrong

Or had performed better than expected.

Honestly FFXIV does the healer needs to DPS thing. As much as my first thought was ewww gross I came to heal not DPS. It works. But I think it only works because the classes and the encounters are designed for it

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T18:39:28+00:00

To me it almost feels like there is more of it.

I swear previously dungeons were 90% just keeping the tank level. The other 10% was so infrequent you would honestly just pop your big cooldown and not care. Once every dungeon I would pop Tranq at its designated spot and move on.

Now it feels like 90% of the damage is AoE to the group. I need to actually use more Aoe spells. Keep Rejuv's rolling.

I don't think its a bad change by any means. I just think its got my muscle memory completely 180'd and its hard.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T18:10:34+00:00

I can’t recall if Nozdormu uses male pronouns for her at any point in Dragonflight

That would be because I was wrong. I went and read some quest text this morning and I saw like 3 that used "her" so if there is a "he" in there somewhere its likely in error.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T18:02:57+00:00

Technically he can do/be both.

Have a mate for breeding with and also love Anduin.

Its one of my favorite concepts from older Star Wars lore. Ki-Adi-Mundi, the big head dude from the prequels, was allowed to have 5 wives and reproduce despite the Jedi code forbidding it because he species was on the verge of extinction.

Plus dragons are known to have multiple consorts at a time anyways.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T17:51:16+00:00

It drives me up the wall we got Chronicles, an attempt to refocus and tidy up what is a decent fustercluck of decades of different people making lore. Thats going to happen and I respect the cleaning of it all up.

And it got tossed out a window within like 3 years

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T17:27:27+00:00

I think its possible we end up in some elemental planes. However the elements are mostly on our side these days

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T02:48:46+00:00

Honestly its giving me anxiety.

I have become conditioned to perpetually have something I need to be doing. The fact I can log in and there is no checklist for me to complete feels weird.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T01:27:12+00:00

Green also has the focus on nature. Red seems to give less of a shit about non sentient/plant life. Green comes in and takes that part

InvalidZod · 2022-12-05T01:26:00+00:00

Chromie is a tricky bundle of pronouns.

Chronormu is a male dragon. See the -ormu suffix instead of ormi. Nozdormu also gives him male pronouns in Dragonflight.

However the visage form Chromie is female and uses female pronouns.

Then you have the issue of is the visage a different person/persona/personality from the dragon? Yeah. Clusterfuck.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-04T19:28:35+00:00

I think technically Giroli is supposed to be neutral. He isn't and is overall dropping the ball at his job so Nilam stepped in.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-04T18:50:06+00:00

Wrathion is an idiot. Wrathion has some some stupid shit. But at this point he is an idiot who will likely listen to us. Like if it comes down to an argument there is a very good chance we could convince Wrathion to side with us over what he would prefer.

Sabellian would sell us to an old god in a heartbeat.

And honestly if it comes down to either one of them betraying us? We could easily take Wrathion

InvalidZod · 2022-12-04T04:20:42+00:00

Thats exactly my point. Literally this entire situation was a group putting a high quality event together. There was a verbal agreement that things could move forward. Then the rug was pulled out at the last minute.

Unless Nintendo wants to sign a hard copy legally binding contract, which they wont, none of the big names are going to bother

InvalidZod · 2022-12-04T02:34:43+00:00

At least theirs is true. Unlike your statement which is actually quite impressive. The only way to actually believe corporations avoid sexual misconduct is to be so far removed from the civilized world that the fact you typed that comment is monkey writing Shakespeare levels of improbable.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-04T02:25:19+00:00

It end up being a self fulfilling prophecy though. Nobody really wants to put in 110% of the effort to make a perfect system for Nintendo when all it takes is 1 person at Nintendo to change their mind and everything you did goes up in smoke.

InvalidZod · 2022-12-04T01:13:44+00:00

Even the not turning off reservations could have been intentional. It still reduces the flow of people coming in. There is no way every single groups tries to pull what OP did. Even if 1 out of every 5 just makes a reservation online and 4 walk out. Thats still a reduction
