I've had a couple orders with issues the past month or so:

2) Ordered an album from Amazon "Global". Two weeks go by. Talk to CS for update on order. Assured item will still arrive in original delivery window. Two-three more weeks go by. Talk to CS again. Assured item will be shipped within 48 hours. Four days later. Promised item would ship today (Friday). I cancelled the item today and ordered from a third party seller for less money.

3) Ordered an outdoor decor statue of a monkey eating garden gnomes while sitting atop a pile of bananas. This was a birthday present. Make the mistake of not checking box before wrapping (description on label was correct). Wife unwraps and opens the box yesterday to find: a BEAR eating garden gnomes and honey. She likes the item so we're keeping it.


I read about the shipping/delivery problems during the holidays (and all of last year), but this is probably the worst stretch I've ever had with Amazon.
I try to stay away from third party sellers. Too many storefronts where I don't trust what I'd get, if at all.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

How about this for a ridiculously minor gear grinder, but a gear grinder nonetheless...

When you crack open a fresh jar of pickles and you have to be careful when grabbing the first one because the jar is so full of juice that any tiny speck more displacement will cause an overflow of pickle juice on the counter.

Or when it's so full of juice that even just opening it causes enough of a ripple to spill.
