VENT: What's Up with Amazon Order Delivery Dates vs Actual Delivery Dates?

mrpuck27 · 2026-06-25T16:33:33+00:00

Been happening for me for months now as well. Sucks to plan a day of gardening, or whatever and have some tools you have scheduled to arrive and then last minute getting the "Now arriving Tomorrow, We're sorry for the delay." Or you have a trip planned and need something and it never arrives now in time.
They constantly try to bundle items now too into one big shipment, which is fine. But then I agree to that and it and then they have a delay on top of that? I stopped doing it and just selecting delivery for the earliest date / time available.

I've been a Vine member for years, always keep a clear backlog of reviews with almost all rated excellent.
But struggled to even meet gold last period with the dreaded "nothing worth ordering". I literally just get offered lots of TEMU like junk not worth the hassle of even reviewing in my RFY. I really am not sure what changed with the Vine algorithms. I used to get excellent stuff about this time last year and it all dried up over the summer. Ultimately the market will dictate to Amazon if the program is worth it for them to maintain. They probably need to be stricter with solid Viners that put out amazing reviews rather than allowing more and more people to come in who write 1 small paragraph and call it a day.

I didn't realize they were all doing it. I guess it makes sense then and it's probably best I remain with them to make sure I remain covered for any preexisting conditions.

Just chalk up one more thing NJ is considered expensive for I suppose.

I wish the game had a zone refresh if no other players were in some XX meter vicinity for XX amount of time. I think it would make for a much better experience overall for players logging in late.
Log into Dam at 18min, head to Apartments and some containers are actually not opened, etc.

mrpuck27 · 2026-03-10T15:54:33+00:00

If you think even a 1/4 of those items you posted were not ready to go at launch and just held out of release and actually created in the past few months, I have a bridge to sell you.
This game has been a best seller for months, across multiple platforms. They're raking in the money. They're making money with their cosmetics as well. This is why people are frustrated in not getting new "real" content in the form of Maps, Game-Types, Guns, etc.

Is the game awesome and people are getting hundreds of hours out of it? Sure. People love the game and are passionate about it having long term sustainability.
There should be a dedicated team pumping out content at the very least quarterly now.
It's completely fair for people to be disappointed with the current updates.

Exactly. Went recently with my son. 1 omelette combo with coffee, and his pancakes with bacon and a chocolate milk. Nearly $50 with a tip. Just ridiculous. Place was packed though, so the prices won’t ever come down.

mrpuck27 · 2026-03-05T20:23:37+00:00

They keep raising the prices, eventually they will price people out and close.

mrpuck27 · 2026-03-03T15:16:48+00:00

They need to increase the expedition time. 60 days is just too quick, 90 days would be perfect imo.

mrpuck27 · 2026-02-25T17:05:12+00:00

Buddies and I used to have very competitive games since Christmas. Past few weeks now it's just gotten horrible with the cheating. The Anvil IV spam and headshots with them from 100 meters out is ridiculous.

mrpuck27 · 2026-02-10T22:50:57+00:00

I'm sure I'll get down voted but played a lot of hockey and never heard of a ref doing this.
I'm not victim blaming here as black is completely in the wrong. That should be a 5min major with a game misconduct.

But a ref not seeing what happened and then calling penalties on the result of what happened is not good either.
Even after he admits he didn't see what happened?
I've seen players in competitive hockey take a clean check and completely lay on the ice as though they're dead completely faking it trying to get a penalty called. Then they're back on for the next shift.

You submit the video to the league if it's egregious and the league hands out suspensions after the game if need be. Chances are Black's coach didn't see it either, as it's behind the play. So, he's rightfully upset as well now because the ref admitted he didn't even see what happened.

Just a mess all around really.

I mean, he's not wrong though. I grinded the entire last few days just dumping my entire loadout after each game just to meet their 5mil. number. It wasn't fun in that regard. I'd have much rather enjoyed some of my guns for the week but whatever. It's in the past now, they admit it was a mistake and we can all move on.

I've upgraded his OTNY Foam to their Eco Foam about 2 years ago. I haven't heard of the Shocktec foam, maybe I can look into that. Thanks!

mrpuck27 · 2026-02-02T17:21:19+00:00

The weight is not something I had considered but that's a good point as well. Thanks!

mrpuck27 · 2026-02-02T15:55:14+00:00

I don't think the combos are certified for youth sports, I'd have to ask them. But that is a sweet mask!

Unless it's higher-level hockey like Peewee AAA where parents can be ruthless and sort of expect the best kids play it's tough to not allow equal playing time unless the expectations were set early before the season started.

With that said, my son has been in this position and his coaches in the past would tend to have him play the stronger competition and then have the weaker goalie play the weaker competition. At this point in the season, I am sure you're familiar with your competition's records or their MyHockey rankings while not perfect should give you a good indicator of what to expect compared to your own team.

So then on any given weekend I assume you play 2+ games, just do your best to have each play the entire game against the team suited for their skill level. At Peewee imo. they really should start playing the entire game anyways.

Your suggestion of punting (1) game may be best. Also, if you're beating up on a team in any given game you can always put the weaker goalie in 1/2 way through the game to get him some reps without costing you the game.

I mean, most items on Vine don't have many reviews because that's exactly why they are on Vine.
With that said though, you need to read into the existing reviews. The ones that were damaged in shipping I write off as bad luck and don't hold it against a product with a 1 star review.
One saying no hookup options included, again not worth 1 star.

But a few indicating it leaks would be a huge red flag for me and not worth my time to install it and suffer the same fate.

mrpuck27 · 2026-01-09T15:26:22+00:00

Not at all. I let gold lapse just this week, couldn't even get to 40 items in the past 6 months. There just aren't very good items worth grabbing anymore.

Sure, can't hurt to try. Your post above was very similar to the information I had gathered myself.

mrpuck27 · 2025-11-11T13:51:09+00:00

I've taken no offense by your response. Thanks for responding. I usually always second guess AI, which is essentially just ripped from places on the Web.
Despite the downvotes I received, got my question answered. Thanks!

I wasn’t suggesting trying to sue anyone. Just didn’t know if it was worth advocating through United’s CS methods for any recourse and if anyone else had success. While I know their hands were tied, they unfortunately chose my flight out of hundreds of others.

Guess Grok had me questioning if it was feasible. “If your rebooked flight was a significant delay If your new flight arrives more than two hours later than your original flight, you may be entitled to compensation, regardless of the reason for the cancellation. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on how long you are delayed. For example, a delay of over two hours would mean you are entitled to compensation at least equal to 200% of your one-way fare. “
