#13395342 Amazon Warehouse Deals Thread XVII

Posted by CD6405 on 08 July 2016 - 10:01 AM

amazon baffles me, i order some cheap headset for my daughter for school for $4, take the $1 no rush shipping option, and it ships immediately and will be delivered saturday. 2 things i ordered the day before using prime 2 day shipping wont be here til monday....

It's based on how many items in the specific warehouse are shipping.

The no rush stuff shipped early because packers ran out of prime/expedited orders. The employees can't just sit and do nothing when those order types run out (unless orders are so low employees get sent home early, but that's not too often), so the no rush stuff which is lowest priority then get completed.

It's all just based on how many orders have been made and if no more prime orders, time to get the next down the line. Some warehouses have more orders than others, though.

Even Nintendo realized this kind of gimmick controls were bad, Didn't the director of LoZ:BotW say they intentionally left out a lot of Wii u elements in the upcoming title because looking between 2 screens is too distracting?

EDIT: Here's the quote from Aonuma: "We realised that having something on the GamePad and looking back and forth between the TV screen and the GamePad actually disrupts the gameplay, and the concentration that the game player may be experiencing,” Aonuma explained. “You have your car’s GPS system on your dash. If you had it down in your lap, you’re going to get into an accident!"

Damn, I hope Amazon doesn't count their own FBA screwups against accounts since they close it if you return too much stuff.


Wrong item screw ups affect the workers rather than customer accounts. Every time an item is touched, an employee scans and their name is attached.

They track back to where the error occurred.

Does Amazon hire foreigners to ship FBA orders? I just received a pre-workout supplement in the wrong flavor, like can you guys read before you package? This is the 4th time FBA gave me the wrong version or flavor of something. :wall:


Amazon packers are rushed, it's around 150 items packed an hour, which includes scanning everything, shaping the box, etc.

The issue where the wrong item is shipped is because the people that are labeling the items with scan codes put it wrong. That said, packers try to catch it, but get in trouble more often than not by fixing it (because one wrong item means they have to stop, go to the corrections area and take all the stuff to the person in that order and tell them what's wrong and eats into their speeds).

150 an hour is easy when it's small stuff, but sometimes they like sending 20 lb bags of dog food and larger items don't count more towards the number.

I want to work for Amazon. 95% of school tuition paid. I might actually go back to school if that was the case. Lucky mfers!


It's not that much paid and it's very specific fields.

Well, I got my good Ouya today for $60. It was practically brand new, except, get this...it was missing one of the AA batteries. Guess it's time to contact Amazon CS and complain.

Definitely Fuck it. Don't even waste your time. It's probably time for me to take a hiatus from reading CAG forum posts (except for the OPs and the Amazon Warehouse Deals Thread). Every thread just devolves into nonsense.


I would avoid the AWD right now,too.


#11652806 Microsoft store sale XBOX ONE games @ 30$

Posted by CD6405 on 29 March 2014 - 11:11 PM

Funny how the multiplayer scrubs get upset whenever anyone posts anything negative about that style. The sad truth is, Titanfall clearly isn't doing remotely well, if Microsoft/EA are already offering deep discounts on the game itself, plus bundling the game for free with an already discounted console (that clearly isn't selling well either). The reality is that there are a lot of people out there who prefer a single player experience. And it appears that this "flagship" game for Microsoft's next-gen console isn't doing enough to move game units or console units, which is just a confirmation of that feeling. You wouldn't be seeing all this discounts/bundles if the game itself (or the console, for that matter) was in high demand!


There is so much wrong with this post.

Do AWD threads always devolve into this kind of junk?
