SD is currently $50. Looks like they raised it so they can drop it back to $40 and call it a "deal"

I think it started early this month I had ordered about 10 things from them via prime and only 1 came ups, a day later than usual. They take people's money for prime say 2 days. Things were good then they switch for no reason, I think there is a legal issue there.

It was $40 yesterday. ing Amazon.

My biggest gripe with Amazon lately is that they put games/blurays in padded envelopes when I order just one item. They always, ALWAYS, show up with ripped packaging or a big dent on the box, a broken box, etc etc. It never fails.

Originally Posted by scottman I think it depends on where you live. In my area, they switched almost all prime and even standard sometimes to ontrac, which is basically a guy in a little beat up van. If he's not totally ghetto, it might have a magnetic ontrac sign on the side. So a lot of my orders end up getting squashed and damaged because the driver must just toss everything in the back of the van in one big heap. I actually miss ups.

Its not ontrac here in WI but same thing regardless. Third party shipping company, nasty looking dude comes in a beat up red station wagon.

black eyed peas & madden


what a joke you are now amazon

You know if you have issues they do have a help line and online chat so they can resolve your issues. Just saying.

The last time I bought something from amazon and it didn't come on time I complained and they added a month on my prime membership. So I suggest you hit them up and tell them you aren't getting you packages on time, especially if you are paying for prime.

Thanks OP, the clue for the 5PM deal was really stumping me!!

BS. I've been ordering with Amazon and Amazon prime for years now and they've never missed a delivery date. I can understand 1 package every now and then but not that many in a month.

Anyone have luck price matching Amazon's Madden price at BB?

:P If it wasn't for Swagbucks, I wouldn't be so dedicated to Amazon. I've just been letting those gift cards stack up. Come on holiday bundle deals! Wooo! Yeah!! Just another month to go before they kick off those "hey, Black Friday is 3 weeks away.. let's start now!" things.

Prime works great for me, fwiw. I even stopped paying for 1 day (expedited) shipping, b/c the free 2 day almost always arrives on day 1...but i am close to a couple major distribution centers. (Different city, same state).

the regional company they use for some of the deliveries is actually better than UPS for me. delivers by noon, well handled...my UPS deliveries usually come really late.

Ya I thought that last year, the deals for black Friday were pretty weak. I don't hold out much hope they will do better this blackfriday since they have been in decline even more since then.

Is the XP300 headset worth $100? I wouldn't mind having a wireless headset. The cables on my wired model are a bit of a nuisance.

This one is actually a deal. According camelcamelcamel, the lowest it has ever been at amazon was $117.99: http://camelcamelcamel.com/Turtle-Wi...uct/B006W41W82

...Well, at least it wasn't more Wii accessories?

I was just thinking the same thing. I've had Prime since it came out and have never had an issue. I'm talking 500+ orders. I actually get things randomly expedited in a day for no extra cost if I order early the day before. They use Lasertrac sometimes but my items have never been late even then.

the complains were mostly about removal of offline franchise mode, just read the reviews on amazon of the game. it is kinda funny sometimes

Seems like it might be the official PS3 headset for the last deal, not the XP300. "Immerse yourself in dynamic surround sound while enjoying crystal-clear communication on the PlayStation Network"

I've heard Sony is about to release a new model, it would make sense that they'd want to clear stock

The deals from Amazon around Black Friday were great. They just went too fast for some. I spent much more than I normally would have on many great deals for uncharted 3, nba 2k etc.

Yeah, I looked at the clue and realized the same thing. It's not going to be the XP300. Oh well. I need an Xbox headset. Maybe another day.
