i’m having doubts ups is gonna delivery my slash today lol, tracking says between 1:45 and 3:45 and the package just showed up to the next facility that’s still an hour and half away from me lol

All my delivery services are really good in my area. However, it's not uncommon for UPS to be a day late from the promised date. This typically happens with Amazon packages.

oh god how many do you have lmfao

You hang with the hobby long enough, it would really come as no surprised. I'm fortunate to not have a need to sell any of my toys inorder to get cash for other toys.

Do you have a close by Amazon locker place you can use?
A few years ago, when I ordered my Arrma Granite, I had it delivered to the Rite Aid drugstore down the road. My neighborhood has always been very safe, but I was super paranoid eith having a large package sitting outside the house until I got home in the late afternoon.

I had started using a locker I have a few near me because I had $200 order stolen from their incompetence and not delivering to the right address no matter how much I complained to them, just complete wrong address then they made me get a police report before I could get refunded I don’t like to use amazon anymore because of that lol

well some good news haha again included an amain sticker sheet with one of my orders

its officially hit the time of year where my garage is to cold in the morning for me work. it was 59 out there 2 hours ago. it's only going to get worse from here. it's not uncommon for it to get down in the mid/upper 40's out there. can't paint in those temps, glue takes forever to dry. not a fan.

Can't believe its been a year already, since the old track had to close. Well not really, he had to close in November, but today, this year, was my last time there for a race night. Tried racing the rustler with the 2wd buggies and I got smoked and didn't even make the main since I broke. Lol. Fun times though.

Owner has no plans on moving somewhere else or reopening up since rent is too expensive to find a big enough place for a 1/10 carpet offroad track, Mini z and drift track. He was just thinking adding a addition to his house for a smaller mini z and maybe a drift track but don't think that would happen any time soon, but we still have the main track still here and running great. and has been for the past 30 years.

Amazon screwed me with a warranty about 10 years ago. Not a dime spent with them since.
They would be closed and homeless if it were up to me.
Horrid company.

I feel you on that. The only time I use them is when I get gifted a gift card to them. Other than that, I don't buy stuff from Amazon.

I've had nothing but good transactions with Amazon, never an issue with returns or credits. Just got a new Kindle for $38 after trading in my old one that struggled to take a charge after 3 years. Apple, now they can suck it.... I've never cared for their business model.

I've never really had to deal with Apple.
Most big companies are terrible with customer service now.
I do my very extra special best to avoid ANY company that doesn't give an address in their "contact us"
Or if they don't let you talk to a human during a return.
"Run like hell time" for me!

I'm with ya on both counts!

My Amazon card was replaced this week due to fraud... checked and my rewards points weren't showing on the new card, opened a chat and had a person to talk to in less than two minutes. Issue resolved quickly and easily. No complaints here.

The last person I spoke with at Amazon told me that it was too difficult to tell me if ANY of the parts I had ordered had warranties.
Then she told me that the link I was using to contact customer service wasnmt actually for customers to use.
I told her that we were still ok as I was certainly no longer a customer.
The parts were sent back the following afternoon.
Beyond a negative experience imo.

I too have had nothing but great experiences with Amazon. In over 20 years I've had maybe three issues that were resolved quickly and professionally. I feel bad that others have had problems.
