I use amazon a lot.

Like a real lot. I have been burned on some returns but it is unusual. However, I buy a lot of sardines, I get an autoship of about a case a month usually.

For whatever reason they simply cannot figure out how to ship a case of sardines without damaging the cans and often causing leaks.

I ***** to their CS department and they send me a new case free. They dont want returns on things like these so all of the undamaged cans get washed and checked for leaks and I eat them.

Probably got $100 worth of free sardines in the last year alone.

So I cant complain about returns really.

We get Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup every 6 weeks: the flaps on the cheap boxes that Lipton uses aren’t glued well and pop open: after about a year I finally convinced Amazon to ship the Lipton box inside an Amazon box. Now if I could just get the drivers from walking across my lawn and through the flower beds.

Cat food gets battered pretty bad too- They must have Mr. T in the shipping department, and he's MAAD! GRRRR!

Unilever owned . Our soap boxes at the plant often popped open also and had to be re-worked .

I have the same problem with canned items from Sams. Also items like potato chips and Fritos. The last order of Rotells I got one of the cans were so bent i didn't think it was gona make it all the way around in my electric can opener. Same problem with canned chicken and canned tuna and salmon. The chicken was damaged so bad it smelled like something dead because it had been leaking in the box. I threw the other cans away and called my neighbor and told him the one that I gave him to either throw in the trash or feed it to his dogs. Dead smell only belongs to rotting flesh. I don't know if Sams just bundles all their damaged goods and sends them to people that order online or if it is Fed-Ex. I think if Fed-Ex could throw the boxes out the window while driving they would do it. BTW Sams now has a min of $50 in order to get the free shipping that was included in the premium membership I paid for in July. Yep I paid money to Sams to spend MY MONEY AT SAMS ! *&%#$#@*(())__++?><"}{

But back to the UPS-Amazon issue both items were the same. So why did I have to pay for one and not the other. I had 2 different return- shipping labels from Amazon. So the idea of some things are free and some are not should make any difference in the 2 identical items. I should have made the guy put them in the same free box but my water boils slowly if you know what I mean. I try not to give the hired help too much grief because they didn't make the policies.

Hm...............something smells " fishy " here .

I only buy them in olive oil, there's not much smell until a couple days later.

Then there's a lot of smell.

With a not built right item, never select replacement, always get refund.

It may be the replacement came from different vendor.

Pull up your order and find the service option and select to be called.

They usually call within minutes.

They strive to satisfy, likely will get refunded the shipping.

Complain about needing ti drive and you may get a bonus!

Now a word of warning...

Returns are tracked by the tracking number.

When you drop off the free return at the ups store and they scan the qr code you will receive an email stating refund in progress.

If you put 2 items in one box, and even wrap each one with the print of the return, they still only credit the tracking number unit.

We know this, we had 2 sets of similar but not good round inserts, the carbide ones changed shape on aluminum...

This was before they just scanned and placed a label, they provided a label and packing slip you cut out and used.

We used one box...

6 months later and a few emails later they credited it.

NEVER combine returns if free shipping.

My main complaint with Amazon is they act like that shipping tape is made out of gold or something. I don’t know how many boxes I’ve got with only one strip of tape and it’s punched through. Luckily the contents were still there but tape is cheap.

Since there are two Sam's Club stores in town, I just pick up what I want. I have a Plus membership and a Sam's MasterCard. I get more than the cost of membership in %s back. 5% on gas, 3% @ Sam's club & dining anywhere, 1% all other. Yes, they have raised the free delivery minimum to $50. I can understand why. I like the refrigerated rooms for fresh produce. Excellent service @ their pharmacy. Many things packed in too large of quantities though. On football Saturdays I see out of town pickups heaped with stuff @ Sam's.

I use the outside pickup on everything except those I must ship. I've always been a advocate of Sams but many things I always bought over and over again they do not carry now. So I am beginning to wonder if the Plus Membership is really worth it.. I've got till next July to decide but If they continue to stop carrying the items I want then I will just go to my local grocery store. I don't buy gasoline at Sams anymore. I only use Non-Ethanol unless I am traveling and I very seldom go anywhere at my age now. Sams has lost a lot of its membership in the last few years and it's sad because I always like the Old Sams. I try to avoid Big Store shopping because I am handicapped and walking is hard for me. When they re-arrange everything trying to make you spend more time looking and spending more money it really Pi$$es me off..

When I find that problem go to their online store. Sometimes it will say not available but I'll order it anyhow and often it will ship. ??
What they stock varies with the season. The two stores here vary with what they stock. Must be up to the store manager. The price of gasoline varies between stores also.
