Yeah this is such a strawman argument lol. There's lots to hate about Amazon as a company, but to act like it's actually an inconvenient service to use is fucking stupid. And Amazon didn't put all the small businesses out of business, Target, Walmart, and friends had already done that. At this point it's just Amazon vs the giant retail corps, and frankly I couldnt care less who wins that battle, except that I'd love to see the final outcome be mutual annihilation (not that that's likely)

Same. And the thing with Amazon is most of the shit I buy on there, I can't really buy local. Computer shit especially. Used to be, we had a Fry's that was about 2 hours away. So, far enough that it required planning and usually would wait for the weekend, which usually meant amazon would be faster anyway.

edit: just to be clear, I wish that amazon didn't have as much utility as it does because they're a shit company, but I kinda feel like this is the norm with just about every corp these days.

I mean, I've been getting packages a long time. I am not saying it's happened for sure... or hasn't for sure. But if it did it wasn't memorable

Plus you just mark it as not delivered and they'll send you another.
