    I could have been, but normally when an item is out of stock, it will give you the option of notifying you when it comes back in stock. So technically, if I had the option of buying the item, the item at the time was in stock. And the book was $6. He was offering me a $5 credit. I'm not going to go crazy over something that's $11. It's the principal of the situation.

    So who's at fault? Did I mention that I did not get a single email or notification that the item is out of stock? The entire 2 weeks since I've bought the book, it only stated waiting to ship. Never stated the item was out of stock so they were waiting for more shipment.

    It wasn't until I had to chat with them until they told me.

    Like I said.. if the item was out of stock originally, or they notified me that the item became out of stock, even if it was a week or 2 later.. I would have been fine with it. I would have cancelled the item, went to my Barnes and Noble and bought the book.

    Unfortunately Amazon becomes like many big corporations. They were once great, but greed caves in and they start going down the drain. Read reviews about diapers or toilet paper. It will tell you how different Amazon is compared to 2 years ago.

      you should be able to get the $5 and 1 month of prime added

      I had an issue where Amazon somehow screwed up the 2 deliveries and missed the 2 days because they got it to UPS late and based on the zone you are in, they don't do 2 day shipping as it will normally be 1 day if it is close. So I called and got like $10 and then prime month also on both.

        Exactly! In the past, they were so happy to give me credit because I wasn't satisfied. This time, I gave them all the patience I had, but when they couldn't give me a proper answer and wouldn't accept responsibility for the fact they never notified me the product was out of stock, I had enough.

          I'll probably still get it even if the price goes up. I use Prime Instant Video quite a bit, especially now that they added Batman: TAS. Most of the time, their 2 day shipping gets to me in just one day. And if I didn't renew, I'd probably end up paying at least half of the annual rate on shipping just during Black Friday week.

            Been a Prime member for a long time and currently locked in till 1/2015 but when prices do go up I'll stay aboard. Amazon has by far the best support out there.

            My best story is I bought a laptop once, was defective but they didn't have anymore in stock so they exchanged it for a higher model and covered the price difference which was around $150. Plus all the other things. I don't like being a "fanboy" of anything but Amazon... I heart them.

              I probably watch Prime as much as Netflix.

                I order 3 or 4 things from Amazon a month so I definitely get benefit out of it.

                  How long does it take the newer movie releases to be be free Prime Members on the instant video? Also does Amazon Have HBO shows on instant movie.


                  I'm just trying to see if Prime is worth it for me and the wife. We have the smart TV and use amazon to watch movies. And I like that you get release day shipping. Just want to have everything figured out before we make the leap.

                    Pretty sure you can browse prime videos without prime. Movies take a while to get to prime it seems, they do have some HBO shows.

                        It won't be on there, they will get it around the time it comes out on DVD.

                            Sound good. Thank y'all. Guess I will look into that separately with my cable provider.

                              Just got the email this morning, an increase to $99 when it's renewed later this year.
