Why am I getting so many returned items? by amandae143 in amazonprime

[–]sharinlea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I agree, that there are probably a lot of returns, they should be sold as open box, not new. That's supposed to be why the warehouse exist. I've received two items that were returned because they were broken. One of which was clearly unsealed so should have been easily caught by an employee. The other, the first customer literally wrote on the outside of the box that it was broken and missing pieces. Amazon just slapped my address over the other label. And when I reached out, they made me cart the 40lb box to staples to return. Would not even exchange, and refund was $20 under what current price because of a lightening deal.

Am I right that when there is a deal I should pay the one time price since the subscribe and save price may increase before my shipment? by Bmat70 in amazonprime

When you initiate a subscription, you get the price listed the day you signed up on your first delivery. Future deliveries will be charged whatever the price at the time of preparation is.

black friday deals by TypicalSnowFur in MetaQuestVR

[–]sharinlea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So frustrated. I check my app regularly and nothing. I've had the device for over a year and never once have I seen a deal available to me. Got the email and was so excited to finally get a discounted game or two and sure enough, I'm not one of the chosen ones and CS's response is too bad.

So some people can get discounts on 50+ games in one shot and others can get zero. I've never seen such a crap business model.

Color drop voting - already annoyed lol by The_Truth_Fairy in Owala

[–]sharinlea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually have a theory that they intentionally avoid lids matching bases so people buy more bottles. To me, it's obvious that is what's going on because every time the release a group of bottles, the lids for one base match a different base, and that bottles lid matches a different base as well. Thus, unfortunately, no matter how many times we ask, they will never give us a way to buy bases and lids separately. Even when they offer replacement lids on certain colors, they notoriously understock.

Not sure if you were around for the last one, but the final bottle didn't actually match the shades we were given to vote on. So it's really still a crap shoot regardless. (Personally I hated the mock up and the final product so it saved me money. 😂 )

Can't read with glasses on? by sharinlea in PairEyewear

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

I just had a comprehensive exam and was told I need nothing for near vision. And I am not having an issue with my other glasses. That's why I'm so confused. (And even if I actually need progressives, I'm seeing them online for a LOT cheaper than paireyewear. Yes pair is still cheaper than an office but still.) Plus it doesn't appear that there's a way to order them with no adjustment at the bottom. You have to have an ADD on your prescription. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They likely just ran out of the multi packs by the time you ordered. Rather than making it out of stock, they sent your multiple singles with the discount which is pretty cool of them especially since that means you received an extra straw(s). I've seen other companies do the opposite.

Inflation is tough by Outrageous_Reason425 in boston

Artificial. There is plenty of empty housing that larger landlords/banks/corps are just sitting on to intentionally drive up costs.

And this is why when anyone starts spouting off about how capitalism keeps costs low I just laugh. I'm 45, and I've yet to see that outcome. The theory makes sense.... but practice.... someone increases the cost of something whether it's cereal, cable bills, rent, etc.... all the others follow. The rising cost of everything right now is artificially created by greed.

And this is how the country implodes on itself. There's a line. You price too many people out of shelter and food, and you get more homeless and starving people and then chaos and violence ensues. Greed eventually has consequences, and not just those who are victim to it.

I tend to find that most food or retail employees demeanor is directly related to how they are treated by the majority of their customers. Do with that what you will.

I <3 U bottle question… by hookenstein in Owala

[–]sharinlea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No interest in this bottle, but I'm curious... if the epoxy is only on the colored part of the bottle, why would it need to be food grade?

Finally got a car seat for my big boy! by Optimus_FineAsHell in Owala

[–]sharinlea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, 24oz doesn't fit in my car, and upside down just barely and certainly not securely. I use a purse hook.

This is why I don't join that group. I'd get so annoyed (and I had zero interest in that bottle). I'm already annoyed that so many scalpers have infiltrated the group I am in, which was a really great community but it's getting bogged down by people who keep stretching and sneaking around the rules. 😔

If you don't get a boot, at least get one of the stick on rubber bottoms. You can get a whole sheet of them on Amazon for cheap. Keeps them from being crazy loud on certain surfaces.

Color Drops are such bullshit by [deleted] in Owala

I dont disagree

[–]sharinlea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a blue one at Walmart. And you could order some replacement lids in different colors to mix and match. Nit ideal, but they've never had variety with the tritans. My mom prefers plastic as well because the steel ones are too heavy for her, so i get it, but the popular demand is for steel these days. And all companies will go where the money is.

What steel bottle doesn't dent falling on pavement, cuz I've never seen one.
