The Daily Rant Thread

[WickedFog]

Let's hear your gripe for the day. Get out your frustrations here folks.

Why do people leave reviews about an item that has absolutely nothing to do with the item, but about the delivery or person doing their shopping instead? And why don't businesses go through and delete these really stupid reviews?

The movie Idiocracy is real folks.

 

[Bbqguy52]

I agree. It makes me mad when people tear down a business or item for no reason.

 

[Panko75]

That's the opposite of my problem, those fake positive reviews that you often see for car dealerships!

But heres my rant, what exactly am I paying $300 for here? Toy shocks? Bushings? Generic bodyshell?

I got nothing to rant about. All good here. Other than food prices are crazy.

Wait... I got one. Amazon stinks. Always has. Got a MIA package they can't tell me what happened to it. Tracking info shows - Delivery delay/exception, check back later. Click here for a refund. Or wait to see if it delivers.
It's been a week. This happened a year ago, same situation. Asked for a refund & they said well we can send out a replacement, no charge. Ok. Well two packages showed up a day apart & they double charged me. Crooks. CS said well you ordered it 2xS. No I didn't. Blah blah blah. On & on. They are awful.

My track record with Amazon has been excellent. This coming from a family of 5, and we order quite a bit of stuff. We've only had a few hiccups, but they were resolved promptly.
I fully believe it's all about where you live that determines the quality of service you receive. Amazon, FEDEX, USPS, and UPS all do a great job I'm my region.

Are you ranting about the food or the crackhead

I live 15min from a Amazon fulfillment center.

Tiny little item that can be shipped in a standard letter envelope for the cost of a single stamp,
but was charged $1.35 shipping and shipped in a plastic back that would fit an album.

But, how well does this center run or managed?

Obviously poorly

That's a good one. I get stuff like that all the time. Amazon is bad about that. I order stuff off aliexpress that shows up in a heat sealed garbage bag, and it arrives just fine.

Most likely, but there's probably other outside factors that are involved as well.

Could've been the 4th of July. Maybe the truck broke down. I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet on Amazon completely. I deleted my account last year in frustration but started a new one a while back. Always good to have the option, no matter the cons. I had a poor ebay experience earlier last week. Ordered 3 Tekno pinions. Got the tracking. Used this seller many times. A day later, got a message that two would be refunded, sorry! Said they picked em & packaged them but lost them. One pinion showed up & saw the refund but yet to get it. Who knows.

I have noticed that too, that location seems to be a factor. Like USPS for me is pretty dependable, most of the time. Even with packages from California. But give FedEx a package for me in Cali and it more often than not makes it halfway here, then heads back West for a couple days. UPS has been about thr best. But I often hear people that are just the opposite with the big three shippers.

 

[332_RC]

In my area FedEx is gold! My buddy lives 45min from me & his FedEx is worse than horrible. UPS stinks here all the time & postal is good. We have a brand new postal hub for the North Georgia area & it's been fair. Getting better.

My gripe is the people that cruise in the left lane..... left lane is for passing not cruising below the speed limit

Turn signal usage appears to be a declining habit.....even though it is law.

I'm the guy who hardly ever looks at on-line reviews... probably because when I do, I find the same sketchy stuff regardless of the subject.

It's getting more annoying to try to find the reviews that make sense, or at least seem to be an intelligent review. But those are the ones I pay attention to.
