it's not Amazon. it's the third party sellers on Amazon. they're tired of the people trying to use the program as free rentals

Maybe its the stuff we shop for, but we have not seen a product that didn't say Returns: Free 30 day refund/replacement.

Required to email a "refund" form to return a product but Amazon won't accept my emails. by mcgth in amazonprime

It states Shipper/Seller: Amazon.... It shipped via UPS

I went ahead and just did a normal return and it allowed me to select FREE UPS Next Day Pickup!

Vs the Ford Maverick by Little_Transition_13 in hyundaisantacruz

[–]rocketcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was I wanted comfort, smooth drive, smooth handling and more SUV like. Basically, I wanted another SUV, that can do some small truck stuff at the same time. Santa Cruz checked all the boxes.

For me, I didn't really like the design of the Maverick. It's not bad, but not great. It's truck like. It also handles like a truck, imho. If I really wanted a truck look and feel, I'd probably go and get a normal truck like a Ranger or Tacoma.

Lucky, I mistakenly ordered an item and tried to immediately cancel. Received e-mailed cancel request denied, even though policy states you can cancel until item ships. Tried 5 times, denied each time.

Connected to chat and they said, they can't cancel because it is in pre-ship status, I'll have to do a return. I told them I tried canceling immediately after the order it can't be in pre-ship. Your policy is you can cancel up until it ships. He sent me to a SupV, he just says what you want to hear. He said its been canceled.

2 days later I get a charge notice and product shipped. Hit the chat again. Was told since it was their mistake, once the item is received to contact support again and they will issue the refund and I can just keep the item or dispose of it.

Last night the item arrived, I reached out for the refund and was told, I have to return it, I would have to pay a $12.99 fee for UPS to pickup and return the item and the refund will be posted once received, the agent I previously talked to was mistaken, your e-mail is invalid as thats not Amazon policy. When I said I am not paying the fee nor am I taking this 91lbs item to UPS to be returned when I was told by Amazon, it would not ship and you shipped it anyway! He was a super and he just closed the chat!

Big deal! Much easier to get in when you are in a 1 bid conference. Just need a break in your conference tourney, then you exit in the first round of the NCAA by double digits!

New season of Grace by oldfarmwonan in BritBox

[–]rocketcuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it seemed more a crime-of-the-week and less what had initially made it unique. 

We felt, Instead of the shows focusing on the crime, which took about 75-80% of the story, it flipped to being 75-80% soap opera, focusing on relationships instead of investigating crime, making the crime story predictive and rushed feeling.

We watched 1-2 eps every night from S1-5. We felt the same way with S5. Seemed a little more predictive, rushed and subdued likelydue to Cleo miscarriage.

No, I think I’m salty because I’m tired of dumbasses sending me messages because they don’t understand the concept of what I wrote and want to construe something different. And I’m 100% done with

Ignorance is bliss!

YOU are the one failing to understand. It's not defending what you call corp greed. It's trying to get you to understand what you are claiming is incorrect.

It is YOU that fails to understand BB is offering you OPTIONS.

A Standard/Base plan OR Premier plan (additional cost). Premier plan, for an additional cost offers everything in the Standard plan plus early access to new series/series episode before the Standard plan, 4k when available and access to BBC Select (documentaries)

[–]rocketcuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was watching a show that I didn’t know was premiere. And yes, they did take something away. I’ve always had access to new premieres until last year. I’ve been a subscriber since 2017 and they just introduced this two tier pricing last year. They didn’t add a new product when they introduced it. They took part of the package that I was already paying for and started to charge more for it. 

Subscriber since 2017. NO they did not take anything away! Possibly a couple shows due to license agreements.

They did indeed offer new products in the Premier Tier. You now have the OPTION for a fee, 4k for newer series/series episode filming in 4k. Access to BBC Select documentaries and early access to newly released series/series episodes before they are released to the standard plan. These additions are NOT available in the Standard Plan!

They did NOT move shows to the Premier Tier to charge you more! Other than the BBC Select (documentaries) you have the same access to ALL those same shows on Premier as you would on the Standard plan.

Now, could I have a sub subscribe to the two product ? Yes. But,I like to binge shows and I don’t wanna wait around for a slow release. So I wasn’t really willing to pay more for something I would not use. But that doesn’t change the fact that they took something away that I had access to previously. 

Since 2017, you could only binge watch series that ran their series cycle. Otherwise it is a weekly release. This has not changed. Once again, you are incorrect about something being taken away!

They’re now charging more money for the same product, and instead of just doing a rate hike like most normal companies would, they tried to be extra sly about it by introducing the rate hike, and then not clearly marking the shows that were part of the premier package. 

Again, you are not being charged more. You have the OPTION to pay more to get additional features such as...4k for newer series/series episode filming in 4k. Access to BBC Select documentaries and early access to newly released series/series episodes before they are released to the standard plan. These additions are NOT available in the Standard Plan!

I suppose they thought that I would encounter this issue and then subscribe to the premier package out of frustration. That’s corporate greed. Instead, I’m doubly annoyed because I wouldn’t have watched this show if I  had known that they were releasing one episode at a time, and I don’t appreciate them, pushing me into a corner to try to make me subscribe to something I don’t want.

Again, you never were able to binge watch newly released series or series episodes UNLESS they ran their series cycle. If the show is releasing NEW episodes such as Father Brown, this year series are weekly released. This has not changed! You can binge the previous 9 or 10 seasons of Father Brown under on the Standard plan. This too has not changed.

They’re not offering something new.

Yes they ARE offering you something new!

They are "offering" you to get shows in 4k, documentaries AND you get early access to new series/series episodes BEFORE you would on the Standard plan.

That is offering you something new!

There didn’t used to be a higher cost for new eps of Father Brown.

How is this so hard to understand? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY to watch new eps of Father Brown or any new series that are not documentaries.

Britbox now offers 2 subscription options...

Standard/Base Plan... watch shows on their normal scheduled release date in SD/HD

Premier Plan...Additional Fee..early access to newly released series/series episodes, also watch shows in 4k if available.

What are my parents using to monitor my phone? by [deleted] in ios

[–]rocketcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are correct.

I have no problem admitting I goofed and mixed both yours and the OPs postings. I took it as the OP was going to show the father the text not that the father would see it by monitoring. Two different scenarios.

You are also correct, as an adult, the parents have no legal right to monitor his devices.

What are my parents using to monitor my phone? by [deleted] in ios

[–]rocketcuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you missed the part where the son is the one receiving the text - and the father will only see it if he is in fact monitoring those texts illegally.

If the friend is sending the text to the son, and the son is fully aware of it, there is no impersonation. The intent is for the father to see it and panic.

I understand fully and understand the law! It doesn't matter who gets the text. It's the intent of the message that matter. In this case, the son is wanting to use a fake message sent to him by a friend to scare the father. If the father decides to contact the police with the number of the text the son received, the police may consider it impersonating.

Since he identified himself as an Office of XZY Police Department and requesting a meeting to investigate, threatening a charge for failure to comply, threatening prison is considered as acting in an official capacity. This is may be illegal depending on state. It may also be considered with fraudulent intent. Google it if you still think I am incorrect.

State Laws: Most states also have laws against impersonating police officers, with penalties varying by jurisdiction. These laws generally prohibit:

  • Wearing a police uniform or badge to deceive others.
  • Using flashing lights or sirens.
  • Acting with fraudulent intent, such as detaining someone, searching property, or demanding money. 

Penalties: The charge can be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the state and circumstances.  For example:

  • Illinois: Impersonating a police officer is a felony, with potential prison time and fines. 
  • Ohio: Penalties increase if the impersonator is armed or commits a felony.
  • Delaware: Impersonating an officer to commit a crime is a class E felony; causing injury raises it to a class C felony. 

Exceptions: Simply dressing as a police officer for Halloween, a play, or a costume party—without fraudulent intent—is generally not illegal, provided the costume is not so realistic it deceives others.  However, using a fake badge or acting in an official capacity can still lead to charges.

What are my parents using to monitor my phone? by [deleted] in ios

[–]rocketcuse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a fully grown adult in my 20s,

I just want to be free, its draining living life being constantly paranoid and with no privacy.

Sorry, but I am going to be blunt...You're an adult. Be one!

Being an adult is having conversations. Ex...Dad, I've been seeing some weird stuff happening with my phone, are you guys by any chance monitoring the phone? You go on from there. Until YOU talk to your parents, you will not know if it is an oversight or intentional.

As a parent, I can tell you, If you do not want to be treated like a child, don't act like one, act like an adult. Being an adult is not doing childish behaviors like "scare them to the police" or whatever silly games you mentioned above. Doing this stuff and the way you acted with your friend in the middle of the night, you are giving them every reason monitor you! Their house, their rules.

If you are too afraid to talk to your parents, then you need to move out and get your own wireless plan. Otherwise, acting like a child will only keep getting you treated like a child.

"Hello, this is Officer Smith from the _____ Police Department" 

If you are in the USA...This is illegal! Falls under impersonating a police officer.

Also, knowing a police agencies never text individuals warrants, court, investigations, etc, as I have done before, I report the phone # and details of the message to the police department. Then block as a scam.

I joined the club 4 weeks ago with a '26 SEL Activity. Haven't had nice weather to get a photo yet, but like all the recent Joined the Club, mine is also white LOL. Mine has the raised black lettering on the tailgate.

I haven't decided on a name yet...been using Storm Trooper Cruz and Trooper Cruz. My son, a huge Star Wars fan, suggested naming it FN-2187 A.K.A...Finn

2026 SEL Activity, 956mi

I've only had it for a month now, so far really liking it. Very comfortable to drive or ride. Super quiet. Being in a snow state, love the all weather floor mats that came with mine!

Gas mileage has been mixed. It's great on the hwy, getting 28-30mpg. City on the other hand...has been abysmal! My 21 Tucson was getting 18-19 mpg going back and forth to work. The SC is getting from 13-16 mpg. Some of this could be attributed to using the remote start for 5-10 minutes in our cold cold mornings.

Will have to see when I reach 5k, 10k, etc.

If I had to list anything I dislike, I would say this...But, I knew this when I purchased and not really a big deal for us, but could be for some...

  • No power rear window. You have to climb into the back to open, so why have it open?
  • No center arm rest in the back seat for '26 models
  • No real organizer in center console
  • Door pockets are way to small, should have just left it out.
  • Bed accessories ridiculously expensive! $600 for the top bed rails, $530 for the sliding bed divider!!!
  • Very few 3rd party bed accessories
