I stopped buying from/via Amazon (I hear people now use the term “Scamazon”), after a series of incorrect items & delays, several years ago. I lost at least $100, in the process, and thought throwing money away was unacceptable. But, recent circumstances happened, where a favourite item is ONLY sold on Amazon, and before I move abroad, I wanted to buy some replacements. Since I last bought these things, Amazon ordering has changed dramatically. Now, multiple sellers sell this brand, often based on size. This meant that my order of 2 of one size, and 2 of another size of this brand, were fulfilled by two different Amazon sellers, and not even the brand store I used to buy from. One package arrived on time but, when I opened it, they were clearly the wrong items. (I ordered a pattern, and these were solid black.) They were not in original packaging. I opened one to see if I could tolerate it, and I kid you not, it was COVERED in lint and animal hair, AND there was a small piece of dried lettuce on the fabric, as well?!?!!!!!! Gagging, I quickly snapped a photo, and stuffed it back into the Amazon box. Gross. Even if the seller told me to keep them, I wouldn’t be able to donate them to charity, for sanitary reasons. Ew. The second package never arrived. So, making this exception for one final purchase from Amazon, it was another complete failure, and I lost more of my hard-earned money.With that, I’m reminded why my decision to stop buying via Amazon was a good one. (It cost me $25 to return the wrong, disgusting items that were delivered. Still waiting for that refund. Just started the refund process for the items never delivered.) It also blew my last window to order similar items elsewhere, and have them delivered before I move abroad. (After waiting 2+ weeks for the Scamazon non-delivery, it was then too close to my move-out date to risk it. So, I’ve been harmed in multiple ways!) What a pathetic company. It used to be really good. Now, you’ll never receive what you paid for.
