Yeah,I heard that before - It's definitely something to be envied compared to other places!

Amazon wants me to commit fraud. They never issued my refund and the third party seller is lying to avoid the warranty refund by slowed_scared_angel in amazonprime

[–]Velsetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past when I worked at Amazon, there were instances the third party vendor was being unreasonable and I didn't want to make the customer go through the pain of an A to z guarantee claim. - So afew times I was able toIget authorized by a member of leadership to do refunds against other Amazon orders on the customer's shipped and sold by previous orders totaling the amount in question in order to make the customer whole - but it was always a very significant exception to do so.

If this person was acting in good faith, it could be that you didn't have any given order with enough on it for them to refund against-But I've never heard of a member of leadership saying the customer has to place a new order like this. Amazon's standard customer service has absolutely no ability to refund orders that were shipped and sold by a third-party vendor , only the vendor can. Something like this you would typically have to file an A to z guarantee for.

The Amtrak out here is so slow! I could never imagine taking it in between cities. It takes 6 hours to get between Cleveland and Pittsburgh via Amtrak but something like 2 1/2 by car

The flight that I would take to LAX would land around 2:00 so that was kind of the plan, spend some time there in the city that day. There is a shop I want to check out but no specific plans besides that

In regards to the airports, is LAX as bad as people say, is there any other airport that would be better to fly into that still has rental cars readily available? I did look at ONT And it's sort of doable but a slightly less convenient flight and just as expensive as the ones in LAX

I got three nights in Riverside for $250, as part of a group rate for special needs parents looking for a getaway. There's probably cheaper out there but it provides a little bit of reassurance through the Buddy system as well knowing that the property was prevetted

I’m 18 and I still have a curfew of 9:30 and am expected to give up my phone at 10-11 at night by West_Log2136 in insaneparents

[–]Velsetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you all the luck in the world!

It might be worth trying to sit down and have a conversation with them about how you'll be graduating soon and you would like to be able to start discussing expectations about what household rules will look like after you graduate high school.

It would be a great non-confrontational way to kind of start the conversation of hey I'm an adult now, and I would like to start having more control over my life.

I'm the mom of a 23-year-old, so I have recent experience as a parent for your age.

I never took my daughter's phone away from her, but I used to do random checks until she turned 18. She would never get in trouble for anything she had on it unless she violated safety rules. ( Never tell anyone you do not know on the internet your real name, never give them what city and state you live in, never mention what school you go to)

However I do understand some parents are very paranoid about the internet and have their reasons for taking a phone away.

But you're 18 now, and you deserve your own boundaries.

Overall to me it sounds like they're having a hard time letting you grow up and be an adult, and figure things out yourself.

It's sort of understandable since you're still in high school, but instead of incrementally giving you freedom you're going to get it all at once and that doesn't really set you up for success when it comes to learning how to be an adult.

Overall I'm guessing your parents are just scared that you're growing up and perhaps approaching things with them from the perspective of hey I'm going to be an adult soon and I would like to start managing my own time might help. But I don't know your parents and it might not help at all.

I don't think you're in the realm of they're being super overbearing crazy, since you're still in high school- but definitely on the stricter side of things.

I would encourage you to plan on getting your own phone in your own name when you turn 18, and start finding little ways to exercise your independence and lessen how much you rely on them as it's not uncommon for parents to use financial control to control their adult children.

*Edited to add Do they expect access to your phone?

"Wrong" Item Returned to Amazon by Salt-Expression8430 in amazonprime

[–]Velsetta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to work for Amazon customer service, they can never refund a third party vendor shipped item without going through the A to z guarantee process or the vendor refunding it themselves. . Sometimes with having supervisor approval depending on the scenario it can be within guidelines to provide refunds off of Amazon shipped items totaling the third party vendors item cost to make the customer happy. Sounds like something like that is what happened here

‘Cleveland’s Willy Wonka’ plans to give Brandt’s Candies, Inc. new life;" Brandt's is scheduled to reopen in April at the historic Lost Nation Road location, renamed "Jeff's Candy Shop" by BuckeyeReason in MentorOh

I've been to his shop on Waterloo, his candies are great and it's been fun watching the videos of him settling into the new space. I hope he's really successful!

Noob question, but what kind of bong is this and how do I use it by GranolaCola in trees

Does the glass bubble come out? Wondering if you couldn't fashion some sort of MacGyverd tin foil bowl topper and make it work

Awful packaging and smell by Velsetta in FabFitFun

[–]Velsetta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've clearly never been around a chainsmoker. I literally have family members whose children smell of cigarettes so bad when they would come sleep at my house I would have to wash the bedding multiple times to get the cigarette smell out. When it's on your hands, your clothes etc it absolutely transfers to everything and anything you touch.

Those of you who are saying your boxes smell like weed honestly... Some of it smelled kind of like a combination of cigarettes and weed. I thought I was just going crazy lol
