Back in 2005 Ebay was the King in corporate internet shopping Website. Now its Amazon because of Amazon's better policy for the Customers rather than the merchants. Ebay still sells a lot of the products we usually buy but Amazon is more protective with its buyers from nock offs. For example I once bought a 100 ugg boots as christmas gift to my sister and when it finally, I opened the box and the boots were beaten up, worn out sneakers. Angry that I've been cheated I tried to contact the seller by phone that I found on his profile, the phone number pay phone. Couldn't even find anything else about this person. This is why Amazon is better than Ebay because you can't get scammed that easily. Amazon has an excellent reputation as Website and also has Customer service. But the Major reason why Amazon is so different for its competitors, is that you can buy directly for them as a buyer. You can buy the product from Amazon or you can buy it for another seller. That why Amazon is ruling over the internet shopping business. Thats why people would rather buy from Amazon than any other place.
I like Amazon too but they just added sales tax on their items recently where I live and they're lobbying for a federally enforced online sales tax. I use Ebay more because I'm a patient shopper.
Cheers for the video content! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Maanlijah Prefatory Method (just google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for increasing the size of your manhood to look good without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my close friend Aubrey got cool success with it.
bumboo100 Just The Negatives? Super fast paced. Miles and Miles of walking each day. Super strict on being on time. Your breaks starts as soon as the bell rings, which means the walk away and to your station counts as your break and you better be at your station before that second bell rings or else you'll get cited. 3 citations, i think it was or maybe it was 4, means your fired. If you make too many mistakes you're cited. If you took too long to start working, your cited. There are mandatory overtimes during peak season which means 12.5 hour days sometimes but no second lunch. You got to no matter what reach rate or you will get cited. Rate is the most important thing ever for them. Depending on which position you get, for example Picker, you can't talk to anyone! On the bright side, there are a lot of cute girls. People in there are very nice. Some leaders are dicks. I would honestly go back but constantly doing the same thing over and over again 8 thousand time for 12 hours straight drove me a little insane.
Lucile Rudolph not that bad, I just started and got assigned as a packer and time flies But I guess that's just me, I like to keep busy so time goes fast
I hate when people say shit like this about my company. I work 40 hours a week, ten hours a day. During peak I work 50. Totally doable. There is NO such thing as a 3 strikes rule in any amazon facility. and no one is tracked by gps. Amazon is an amazing place to work.
justynjrob900 i work at ONT2. I've been there as a blue badge for 2 years. a written warning falls off after 30 days, given that it is not a final. if in that 30 days you get a second, they will fall off after 60. if in those 60 days a third occurs, that falls off after 90. any written warning in those 90 becomes the final. again , there is no such thing as a 3 strikes rule.
How's life in 1938 treating you? lol. But all jokes aside, he was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen possilby the most scandanavian/german name there is. And he was later legally adopted by his Cuban step father which is where Bezos came from. So don't know what you're on about.
I worked security at an amazon fulfillment center. It gets bad around the holidays, especially since they will hire almost anybody with two arms and legs. There were always multiple employees trying to steal items from the warehouse. I will tell you what, if amazon employees were as creative with life as they were with scheming to steal, they would have a successful life.
Amazon contracts out their security. However, they do have internal loss prevention employees. Security answered directly to the Amazon loss prevention team.
That's what I thought. So, I suppose it's the same at every site. When I applied for a job at one of the Amazon sites once, I thought that security and workers in the warehouse somehow were distant and didn't really talk with each other, like you'd usually do with your co-workers. At least to me, it felt like the relationship between prison-guards and inmates, almost - not that I know life in prison first hand, but it somehow felt like that. There certainly was something in the air at that time. I've never witnessed such a strange vibe in a company ever, where almost all human resources guys were a bit too happy, all the faces of the workers told a completely different story, and security really felt like prison staff - not because they were unfriendly to me, but you saw all the other people swiftly scurrying past the guards, not even making eye contact. That was somehow eery and scary enough that I was glad that they didn't contact me after my application ever since. I guess that's why I'm asking, because it somehow felt like this was part of the system.
Some associates were more friendly than others but it's not like we weren't allowed to be friendly with the workers. A lot of guards started to become bitter towards the workers because most workers gave us a hard time for doing our jobs. I'm glad I was able to work there and see it first hand but I'm glad I walked away from it on my own terms. The loss prevention department always had the security personnel under a microscope. If they didn't like you, they would find any little reason to remove you from the site.
Thank you. That's interesting, because you felt the tension there. From my point of view, this all doesn't sound like a direct violation of human rights, but it somehow feels like an oppressive system. Some people seem to be able to cope with this, but all over the internet there are reports with really worrying content about the working conditions in this company, all over the world, at every site. I don't think that this is just a PR problem, or that all frustrated ex-worker who got sacked let off some steam. It seems to be more than this.
Thats my friend! lol she traveled all the way from this location in Arizona to my fulfillment center in Ohio for a month to train me. Shes awesome & literally 4 feet tall lol.
Well, im a girl so no & I dont see her like that. She was just a cool person from a different state training us. Shes badass. I still talk to her on messenger at work.
i DON'T KNOW IF i SHOULD LAUGH OR BE TERRIFIED THAT THAT GUY was able to say "Well paying jobs" with a staight face. Either incredibly stupid, insane or evil.
well paying over retail. Not well paying in general. No one works at amazon making less then $12.75 So good luck walking into a big retail store. Fun fact Amazon is so big that they even hire their own EMT's to take care of their employees
This will never be sustainable. Aerial views of these warehouses are stunning examples of our impact. Where the hell is all of this stuff coming from? All of it ends up in the dump a few years later.
I used to work as a delivery driver for a bit (about 2 years ago) and I handled mostly overnight deliveries... Lots of driving and not that many packages. And my vehicle was a Time Traveling Delorean... Sadly the time console was locked out, so I couldn't go to the future and then make money on sports bets. No, my vehicle was a full-spec, air-ride seat, long-wheelbase Sprinter Mercedes. And I kid you not, it was one of the most comfortable things I've ever driven and I got 2 Mercedes and a classic 80s BMW grand tourer and that van was still more comfortable! XDThen I became a car salesman. We also have a full spec Sprinter with air-ride seats. And no, part of my job is driving cars about, some of them being Rolls Royces. Still beaten by the van. Tho it would have been nice if I had a time traveling Delorean.
It still amazes me that postal services can not only keep up with a billion orders a day, but get them to your mailbox in a different country in one day.
I once got a package from amazon in under 24 hours. That's why it pays to go for Prime. People complaining about having to pay more for quicker shipping...well duh. They get so many orders everyday, it makes sense they would have to have a priority system. If you pay for two day shipping, you get it in two days, sometimes quicker. There's nothing unfair about it. Been a Prime member for about two years, and as long as I make sure it has the prime symbol beside it, it's never late.
This guy was a former military intelligence officer. So, he is taking a huge step down managing a warehouse. It's a one way street to the warehouse. I don't expect for one to get a similar intelligence job later. So many people from the military, students that graduated, other industries end up in the warehouse. It's like Amazon is pulling in people. But, this destroys jobs in the rest of society. More importantly, it destroys good job and replaces it with lesser jobs. So, it is better to manage the warehouse than to be a picker or packer. But, it's not comparable to some people's former jobs or what they could be doing with their degree.
......and "Ultimately", all of this came to fruition straight to your doorstep by the United States Postal Service, by which none of Amazon's so-called 'Capitalistic Parade" would be possible without. The reporters were very concerned as to not mention anything about the United States Postal Service, especially since it is a top Employer of African Americans. I work for the Postal Service in a little small town of about 70,000 and every morning at around 5AM, I log in the arrival of trucks that bring us hundreds of Amazon packages each and every day. With diligence, and a core of honor, our letter carriers distribute them throughout the communities and neighborhoods throughout America every single day. So without further ado, I would like to Thank all the hard working, over-looked, ridiculed, thankless, unappreciated, diverse army of Postal workers for all that they do.
I work at this exact amazon warehouse and it is very difficult to steal from the building. Each employee has to go through numerous security checks a day that include metal detectors. Not as easy as it may seem
No!! You can order, if you have credit or some form of prepaid version speeds up the transaction. usually, cpu's, certain gpu's. and complex items that also are taxed cannot be shipped from amazon. plus most big companys have virtual shops on amazon.
UPS is benefitting because of Amazon, ebay and other online dealers. Drivers were going out on Sunday during the holiday season (Thanksgiving to New Years Day) for two reasons. First of all it was to reduce package buildup in the buildings. Also consumers have gotten more demanding about receiving their packages on time. Who can blame them??
+Bob Egbert you sure do wear that retirement from AMZN like it's a badge of honor LMAO. Congratulations scooter, you cease to tell me anything relevant to your opinion. I sure would side with a department I was at for most of my life as well if I were in your position, but thankfully I am not.
I agree. Amazon is the best online store. It's an invaluable online service. I have bought many gifts for people from Amazon over the years & I've been a loyal customer since they started. I'm now wearing a Pedre velvet fabric watch that I bought from Amazon. Practically everyone I know in my area has ordered from Amazon. I do have 1 neighbor & 1 co-worker who have never ordered from Amazon. I think the 1 neighbor ordered from Amazon this week after I talked to her about Xmas gifts I ordered.
I worked at Amazon for a number of years it is honestly a a pretty bad experience from terribly High work rates to an HR department that doesn't really do anything to help you when I was there last I stayed for two months they assigned me a locker someone decided to bring their own lock and use my locker in 2 months that I was there I would go to HR every single day to ask them to remove the lock from my locker every single day they failed to do so. another thing they did they failed to provide me with student compensation which is where I get a certain amount of time off after my shift to make it to school on time they fail to mention the fact that you have to work there for 90 days before you qualify for it. so in order to attempt to make it to school on time I resorted to using my personal time off as well as unpaid time off to make it to school on time, this was what got me fired because according to them I violated the terms of attendance which makes no sense because had they just provided me with student compensation I would not have resorted to using my personal time off. there are a pile of issues I can address working at a Amazon fulfillment center, they don't care about firing people because they have a constant flow of new people coming in to take the place of anyone who might have left or got fired.
+Spy Men 2 day shipping starts applying when the items leave the warehouse, that means it will take two days to you once it gets in transit, selecting 2 day shipping doesn´t affect how long it takes them to get the shipment ready, so you actually got it one day earlier than expected.
That’s awesome and they wonder why retail stores are going out of business. Why go to any other place when you can just point and click and boom it’s at your doorstep with a week. I love amazon, Netflix, amazon video, and Walmart.
Do delivery. It's so much better. You pick up 2 hour blocks up to 8 hours a day max. $18 /hr plus tips on each stop. Usually $10 to 25 an hour in tips. Your car, your gas though, but I spend maybe $10 for 6 hours in my G35, pictured left :D And that's 91 octane, maybe 89 if during price spikes.
I do sub-contractor prime now delivery, and conditions are great. Fast wifi at the warehouse, cheap drinks and snacks in the machine, always cold ac, pretty much 0 dress code. It's pretty great!
The working conditions look pretty good to you? The Middle East looks peaceful from a satellite image as well. Us e your brain. This video does not provide anywhere near the amount of data a rational human being would need to make such a claim. There is plenty of evidence all over the internet that amazon is horribly abusive and exploitative to it's employees.
This was at the Phoenix 6 location in Arizona. I was working this day and I remember seeing this guy walking around with his camera crew. He looked like an out of place douche.
They have and do. The local building here was lit on fire so people could steal and have a distraction. And there was also a used fleshlight found in a bathroom the same year. They just installed security cameras recently, but there's still theft.
+EineKoshka Yea but amazon takes no losses on theft. Every quarter associates get bonuses it can be up to $800, but each items stolen takes away from the bonus. They have teams that go around scanning bins all day and counting the items that are in each bin..boring job... but you find thefts and such. They also have metal detectors at every exit point that associates must walk through while leaving. If it goes off you get wanded..if they can't find out what is setting it off you basically get a strike if you get 3 strikes you're fired. Yes at my fulfillment center they've found many adult toys in the restrooms...the weirdest would be a used dildo in the men's restroom ceiling
basically we walk through a huge security door after dropping our locker keys down the shoot, if it beeps we get wanded by security.. the other day my aunties watch set it off lol and we arent allowed to wear hoodies, also there are cameras EVERYWHERE
i usually find better prices on other websites if you find something you want on Amazon dont just jump on it copy and paste and you will find it cheaper and no tax
I work for Amazon and it’s HELL especially during peak season around Christmas time. That Amazon warehouse in the video ships smaller items so an associate there is expected to pack a lot more then we do. The one where i work we ship larger and heavier items. I hurt my shoulder packing 30lb bags of dog food throughout the shift and you’re prolly thinking 1 bag of dog food doesn’t hurt..well we don’t get to choose what we wanna pack. We’re expected to pack at a fast pace or it will hurt our rate. If we continue to pack below the rate we get written up and Amazon wastes no time writing you up they don’t wanna hear why you’re packing slow. After 3 write ups you’re fired. Majority of us want to pack smaller lightweight items but can’t. We’re lucky we get to pack at least one cage just to give us a break. They’re all about safety comes first but it’s pure bullshit. As long as the system has us working on a rate ppl are going to get hurt regardless
48 hours my ass. Be real ABC. That varies, according to region and state. It also depends on how much you pay. The more you invest, the less time you have to wait for your shit. You buy something on the second of the month, you won't get it until the 11th or so. It's funny, how they make it look like a happy, ship sharp company on ABC news. My opinion? Amazon is a great place to buy things you can't get anymore, like a Sega Genesis or something. The ship date, and delivery date are estimates, and ABC makes Amazon look like a Wal Mart commercial. Millions of orders huh... Don't pull that 48 hour crap with me ABC. How about telling the truth! I was fine with the video until the end of it. 48 hours? Just Dance 4!? Fools.
i've gotten stuff in actually less than 48 hours, but not many, usually is about 3 days with Prime... only one time i called to complain because i really needed the stuff by the time promised and they came forward, Amazon may be killing a lot of business but they have a good business model, if only the competition would follow...
Amazon prime is a thing. Also it may just be how close he is located to the facility. I've gotten things in 48 or less and never really have an issue with Amazon. Variables, man.
they are very successful because their customer service is by far the best ive seen ever! why cant other companies copy their high moral set on making customer shopping an easy and comfortable.
I ordered from Amazon a few days ago and it was going to arrive today but they said that we had shipping problems even though we have always used this address for years and it worked.
The secret of AMAZON is database management. When a company learns about the power of INFORMATION and knows how to exploit it, then it can have the explosive growth, the holy grail. I'm uploading videos to help companies improve their shipping process, very very basic stuff, but ready to complete by any SMB if they are using UPS WorldShip.
I’m watching this cuz I ordered a ton of stuff on amazon awhile ago and the “tracker” says it’s in one of those huge buildings somewhere in Kansas rn lol
As someone who prefers online shopping I am kind of disappointed with Amazon lately. A lot of the sellers sell fake products and Amazon will do nothing due to their profit growth. I honestly don't know what I'm buying most of the time. They need to ban third party sellers
someone should put their phone in one of those boxes. If it travels a mile inside the store, it could hatch tons of eggs in pokemon go
I mean one of the employees not a consumer
Too bad we can't take our phones inside or we get written up.
That's what I was thinking
Amalgamous Entity
Nope, Don't expect to bring in any metal or it will set off the metal detectors. I just take in my keys and thats it.

There's nothing unfair about it. Been a Prime member for about two years, and as long as I make sure it has the prime symbol beside it, it's never late.

......and "Ultimately", all of this came to fruition straight to your doorstep by the United States Postal Service, by which none of Amazon's so-called 'Capitalistic Parade" would be possible without. The reporters were very concerned as to not mention anything about the United States Postal Service, especially since it is a top Employer of African Americans. I work for the Postal Service in a little small town of about 70,000 and every morning at around 5AM, I log in the arrival of trucks that bring us hundreds of Amazon packages each and every day. With diligence, and a core of honor, our letter carriers distribute them throughout the communities and neighborhoods throughout America every single day. So without further ado, I would like to Thank all the hard working, over-looked, ridiculed, thankless, unappreciated, diverse army of Postal workers for all that they do.
*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* little small town of 70,000 people? *cough*
I *love* the USPS and they've always done a fabulous job with everything I've mailed or received.
I work at this exact amazon warehouse and it is very difficult to steal from the building. Each employee has to go through numerous security checks a day that include metal detectors. Not as easy as it may seem
my amazon boxes never have smiley faces on them :c
No!!
You can order, if you have credit or some form of prepaid version speeds up the transaction. usually, cpu's, certain gpu's. and complex items that also are taxed cannot be shipped from amazon. plus most big companys have virtual shops on amazon.
i work at ups and hate unloading amazon trailers. they're stuffed!!!
Ahaha, i can imagine.
UPS is benefitting because of Amazon, ebay and other online dealers. Drivers were going out on Sunday during the holiday season (Thanksgiving to New Years Day) for two reasons. First of all it was to reduce package buildup in the buildings. Also consumers have gotten more demanding about receiving their packages on time. Who can blame them??
When a Former military intelligence is GM then there is no chance for anything wrong...😎😎😱
I must say it's a sophisticated and beautifully operated system!!!.
The deliver people should get the credit they do the hard work.
that's a joke lol
Give it a try then come back and comment.
+Bob Egbert I really don't have to, I know someone who has done both and prefers to deliver. Appreciate the offer though scooter.
Where I started sorting and delivery did it for 30 years before I retired as a Facilities Manager. Scooter LOL
+Bob Egbert you sure do wear that retirement from AMZN like it's a badge of honor LMAO. Congratulations scooter, you cease to tell me anything relevant to your opinion. I sure would side with a department I was at for most of my life as well if I were in your position, but thankfully I am not.
Amazon is really awesome
i have ordered a few thinks & i just received exactly what i want
Thanks Amazon 😊💕
48 hours? LOL my package is almost 3 weeks late by now and it has been shipped for about a month
***** same accounts -_-
2 day delivery on selected items sold by Amazon... Other vendors might send their products fro the fulfillments in japan
Mine too hahahah
Stop buying from the Chinese, they take from 4-5 weeks to get here.
depends where its coming from really... as soon as the amazon warehouse recive it, it goes to the process of receive, stow, pick, pack, etc x
At 4:20 that lady has to box 120 small items per hour. If it's placed in a yellow envelope it's about 600+ per hour. For a 10 hour shift.
Shit they said his package should come in a few days. I'm waiting a week for my order like damn
Wilder Cerrate ikr 2 day shipping is more like 2 week shipping
You probably paid for the cheapest shipping.
I do 2 day shipping every time and so far I ordered 11 things and they all came on time
I agree. Amazon is the best online store. It's an invaluable online service. I have bought many gifts for people from Amazon over the years & I've been a loyal customer since they started. I'm now wearing a Pedre velvet fabric watch that I bought from Amazon. Practically everyone I know in my area has ordered from Amazon. I do have 1 neighbor & 1 co-worker who have never ordered from Amazon. I think the 1 neighbor ordered from Amazon this week after I talked to her about Xmas gifts I ordered.
End of the world I would like to spend time just at this wearhouse
I worked at Amazon for a number of years it is honestly a a pretty bad experience from terribly High work rates to an HR department that doesn't really do anything to help you when I was there last I stayed for two months they assigned me a locker someone decided to bring their own lock and use my locker in 2 months that I was there I would go to HR every single day to ask them to remove the lock from my locker every single day they failed to do so. another thing they did they failed to provide me with student compensation which is where I get a certain amount of time off after my shift to make it to school on time they fail to mention the fact that you have to work there for 90 days before you qualify for it. so in order to attempt to make it to school on time I resorted to using my personal time off as well as unpaid time off to make it to school on time, this was what got me fired because according to them I violated the terms of attendance which makes no sense because had they just provided me with student compensation I would not have resorted to using my personal time off. there are a pile of issues I can address working at a Amazon fulfillment center, they don't care about firing people because they have a constant flow of new people coming in to take the place of anyone who might have left or got fired.
amazon is theee best

+Spy Men 2 day shipping starts applying when the items leave the warehouse, that means it will take two days to you once it gets in transit, selecting 2 day shipping doesn´t affect how long it takes them to get the shipment ready, so you actually got it one day earlier than expected.

That’s awesome and they wonder why retail stores are going out of business. Why go to any other place when you can just point and click and boom it’s at your doorstep with a week. I love amazon, Netflix, amazon video, and Walmart.
Amazing video!

I give you a year.
rocker4577 actually 2 months.gave my two week notice today lol.the job is cool though.just the hours i dont like 2:30am-6:30am
+CHENOTV Exactly. I couldn't do it, hours, targets, long shifts... in fact no-one should.
+CHENOTV yuh yt?
Do delivery. It's so much better. You pick up 2 hour blocks up to 8 hours a day max. $18 /hr plus tips on each stop. Usually $10 to 25 an hour in tips. Your car, your gas though, but I spend maybe $10 for 6 hours in my G35, pictured left :D And that's 91 octane, maybe 89 if during price spikes.
I need to organize my garage with barcodes like this- maybe I'll be able to find the things I'm looking for sometimes.
does everyone really get their packages late? I have no problem with amazon's shipping
Oh god, now i understand why my computer is taking so long
I was waiting for a projector
I bought a projector from them before around 2 years ago.
The reporter should know what is going on is not capitalism, it is free enterprise. As far as the working conditions, they look pretty good to me.
I do sub-contractor prime now delivery, and conditions are great. Fast wifi at the warehouse, cheap drinks and snacks in the machine, always cold ac, pretty much 0 dress code. It's pretty great!
The working conditions look pretty good to you? The Middle East looks peaceful from a satellite image as well. Us e your brain. This video does not provide anywhere near the amount of data a rational human being would need to make such a claim. There is plenty of evidence all over the internet that amazon is horribly abusive and exploitative to it's employees.

It was hell working at amazons UK deport, I still get nightmares from working there. fuck amazon
+Batman Superman Why was it so bad?
+marie55 few breaks; on your feet 95% of the time.
I ordered a Rubik's cube in Early September 2016. I got it late march 2017. Last a long time
I just dropped my phone on my head....... I am such a noob!
Did you see Stars when the phone hit you ?
Great video and awesome information.
This was at the Phoenix 6 location in Arizona. I was working this day and I remember seeing this guy walking around with his camera crew. He looked like an out of place douche.
Holy crap so cool! :O I didn't realize how big and complicated it would be, I would like to go there some day.
i wonder why amazon never got robed yet :-/
Lol, they must got good security there
+Aleks Seb They track everything so they would relize it!
They have and do. The local building here was lit on fire so people could steal and have a distraction. And there was also a used fleshlight found in a bathroom the same year.
They just installed security cameras recently, but there's still theft.
+EineKoshka Yea but amazon takes no losses on theft. Every quarter associates get bonuses it can be up to $800, but each items stolen takes away from the bonus. They have teams that go around scanning bins all day and counting the items that are in each bin..boring job... but you find thefts and such. They also have metal detectors at every exit point that associates must walk through while leaving. If it goes off you get wanded..if they can't find out what is setting it off you basically get a strike if you get 3 strikes you're fired.
Yes at my fulfillment center they've found many adult toys in the restrooms...the weirdest would be a used dildo in the men's restroom ceiling
basically we walk through a huge security door after dropping our locker keys down the shoot, if it beeps we get wanded by security.. the other day my aunties watch set it off lol and we arent allowed to wear hoodies, also there are cameras EVERYWHERE
ABC News... Please consider doing a Nightline segment with myself and Jeff Bezos. The public needs to know!
i usually find better prices on other websites if you find something you want on Amazon dont just jump on it copy and paste and you will find it cheaper and no tax
no
they probably have a secret word when someone orders a sex toy from the Amazon fulfillment center lol
Better then ebay
Hi
2:12 Larry Fitzgerald Jersey AYYYYY
MY FAVORITE STORE EVER
I work for Amazon and it’s HELL especially during peak season around Christmas time. That Amazon warehouse in the video ships smaller items so an associate there is expected to pack a lot more then we do.
The one where i work we ship larger and heavier items.
I hurt my shoulder packing 30lb bags of dog food throughout the shift and you’re prolly thinking 1 bag of dog food doesn’t hurt..well we don’t get to choose what we wanna pack. We’re expected to pack at a fast pace or it will hurt our rate. If we continue to pack below the rate we get written up and Amazon wastes no time writing you up they don’t wanna hear why you’re packing slow.
After 3 write ups you’re fired.
Majority of us want to pack smaller lightweight items but can’t. We’re lucky we get to pack at least one cage just to give us a break. They’re all about safety comes first but it’s pure bullshit.
As long as the system has us working on a rate ppl are going to get hurt regardless
To everyone that uses Anazon You're killing the retail stores therefore creating loss of jobs. Ask your mom and dad...
great great site..... from india.... best cc... u rock
48 hours my ass. Be real ABC. That varies, according to region and state. It also depends on how much you pay. The more you invest, the less time you have to wait for your shit.
You buy something on the second of the month, you won't get it until the 11th or so. It's funny, how they make it look like a happy, ship sharp company on ABC news. My opinion? Amazon is a great place to buy things you can't get anymore, like a Sega Genesis or something. The ship date, and delivery date are estimates, and ABC makes Amazon look like a Wal Mart commercial. Millions of orders huh... Don't pull that 48 hour crap with me ABC. How about telling the truth! I was fine with the video until the end of it. 48 hours? Just Dance 4!? Fools.
It's called Amazon Prime dumbass.
HuskyKMA
Dumbass? Well, that's harsh. I already know about Amazon Prime.
SkullyX99 I think HuskyKMA calling you a dumbass was perfectly reasonable.
i've gotten stuff in actually less than 48 hours, but not many, usually is about 3 days with Prime... only one time i called to complain because i really needed the stuff by the time promised and they came forward, Amazon may be killing a lot of business but they have a good business model, if only the competition would follow...
Amazon prime is a thing. Also it may just be how close he is located to the facility. I've gotten things in 48 or less and never really have an issue with Amazon. Variables, man.
they are very successful because their customer service is by far the best ive seen ever! why cant other companies copy their high moral set on making customer shopping an easy and comfortable.
Fucking ABC news, how much did the developers of Just Dance 4 pay you guys?
yup, i agree, they make it all sound nice in this clip.
lol..have you heard about aliexpress? :p
2012TUHIN they scam

Amazon is probably the worst employer I've ever worked for.
lets be honest: you are only watching this because you are waiting for a package
My mind just blown up! I don't know where to start buying on Amazon?
2:46 what they didn’t show was her getting fired for losing 20 packages for her quota for that short interruption
This is the most trusted online shop
Here I am again watching this video while I wait for my package.
So they saw the flesh light
I ordered from Amazon a few days ago and it was going to arrive today but they said that we had shipping problems even though we have always used this address for years and it worked.
The secret of AMAZON is database management.
When a company learns about the power of INFORMATION and knows how to exploit it, then it can have the explosive growth, the holy grail.
I'm uploading videos to help companies improve their shipping process, very very basic stuff, but ready to complete by any SMB if they are using UPS WorldShip.
My launch day PS4 is arriving today thanks to Amazon having some in stock
I’m watching this cuz I ordered a ton of stuff on amazon awhile ago and the “tracker” says it’s in one of those huge buildings somewhere in Kansas rn lol
Coincidence: watching this vid and a amazon add pops up
When ever I order something it TAKES LIKE TWO - THREE YEARS FOR THE PACKAGE TO COME!!
Amazon needs robots to retrieve and place items on shelves. I can't believe they haven't found out how to do that yet!
Than I would not have a job! :(
Then, population of unemployed people will go even higher
No
Where's the part where they tell you it's next day delivery but it instead sends the box around this pit for two more weeks
As someone who prefers online shopping I am kind of disappointed with Amazon lately. A lot of the sellers sell fake products and Amazon will do nothing due to their profit growth. I honestly don't know what I'm buying most of the time. They need to ban third party sellers
I worked at that amazon and they do push people to the limits
