Steak & Eggs With a Side of Bacon🇺🇲 (@John94951097) reported@AndrewKolvet Groceries are down though. Where is everyone getting this "Groceries are too high" info? Do you people actually grocery shop? Prices are down. Non grocery non essentials are up. But necessities across the board are down. Amazon & China made items are up- yes. Essentials are not.

International Herb (@fashizi311) reportedWe do not control any of the messaging you are receiving! We don't control any social media algorithms. We don't control your TV programming. We don't control Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+ etc. We don't make TV and movie casting decisions. These are the issues.

Oliver Land (@xoliverlandx) reportedThese "jaded" oldheads are just upset that LOSER has more attention than their fifth "gritty" Amazon KDP novel with an AI-generated cover. It's just seething resentment all the way down.

Parveen Rathee (@rathee_parveen) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN I promptly returned an incorrectly fulfilled item, yet my refund remains unprocessed beyond the standard timeframe. This delay is a concerning breach of policy and customer trust. Kindly escalate and resolve this issue.

AT(英語学習者、語学求道者 (@AT80624663) reportedThursday, August 6, 2026 It has still been hot, and the number of beer cans in my refrigerator has been going down. Beer is a must in the hot summer. So I ordered a case of beer on Amazon, but it will take a week to arrive. I'm worried that my beer stock won't be enough.

gaurav (@gaurav48085921) reportedRenewed my Amazon Prime membership, got signed out immediately, and now I can't log in. Customer support transferred me to the escalation desk,where Shubhangi was rude, dismissive, and simply asked me to log in again without investigating the issue. Same error, zero resolution.
-
manvendra (@manvendranarula) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @jagograhakjago This has been happening since last month. My money is still stuck in my Amazon Pay Wallet, and I urgently need to order a webcam for my online exam on 13th August. Please escalate this issue instead of asking me to repeat the same verification again.

Homestead Pilot (@homesteadpilot) reported@AliensGov Yes I see this all the time. People I would never let down my driveway have free rein to come up to my house because Amazon gave them a vest.

AND SELL TBS TNT TRUTV CARTOON NETWORK HBO AND CINEMAX AND WARNER BROS PICTURES TO AMAZON. PROBLEM SOLVED.
-
TennesseeTornado (@TN_Tornado1) reportedPeople are not required to go on shopping sprees, so an increased sales tax only affects you in a major way if you can't stay off Amazon for two seconds. People are required to work to make a living. When money is stolen from you before you see your own paycheck, that's a problem. Missouri voters voted to have people steal from them. I'll will never understand that level of stupid.

georgiaknowsbest (@georgiasawfc) reported@CFCWires i work in customer service and if it's through amazon there is, if we dont respond within 24 hours then our company gets points docked and if a company gets too many points docked they go under review and can eventually get shut down 💪

Pam Rotella (@PamRotella) reported@coinbureau Amazon stock has been going up, and ridiculously high (near $300 per share) lately. I wouldn't buy it if I were a big stock trader, because that's a long way to fall if it declines rapidly. I can't blame him for selling when the stock is close to its peak, though. If he's going to sell, now is the time. I noticed that the rest of the market seemed to take a hit today (just as an amateur -- I noticed a lot of solid stocks went down slightly). I think that was because people were selling some of their other stocks to buy Jeff Bezos' shares.

Amazon Help (@AmazonHelp) reported@JamieKaos @amazon @JamieKaos Hello there. If you're on the chat window in the Amazon Shopping app, you can dismiss the Alexa for Shopping screen either by swiping down the chat window, by clicking on the Alexa icon in the bottom of your app, or clicking on the down arrow in the top of the chat window. If you're on the Amazon website, you can close the Alexa screen by clicking on the Alexa button on top of your browser screen, or clicking on the down arrow in the top right-hand corner of the chat window. However, this feature can't be removed. We appreciate your feedback. -Tasha

Jamie (@JamieOffline) reported@Tusk_4Real @Nin10Nostalgia Amazon has the EU verison physical; it shouldn't be an issue for the switch. I think its region free for the most part.

Terry Allison (@TJAllisonGolf) reported@SawyerMerritt Shorts are gonna destroyed, soon. They think it's all good, now. They will wake up one day, soon, and see that they have Calls to make good. I have never Shorted in my entire life. I will say that I did attempt to Short JDST and JNUG because no matter what happens, they both eventually go down down down until they do a reverse split to increase the price per share... Then rinse and repeat. Unfortunately, nobody had inventory to loan out. Too many others figured it out before me. Other than those 3x ETFs, I want companies to win. I don't want to root for failure, and I don't want to make money from people who are having a rough time. SpaceX will end up being better than Amazon. BTW... $100K invested in Amazon at the IPO in 2004 would be worth $363 million now according to Google. $1,000,000 would be worth $3.63 billion.

PS5_BRO (@PS5_BRUH) reported@MiaAI_lab B&H Photo is where I’ve been going. I’ve been having issues with Amazon sending me used/returned stuff for the last couple of months. Super annoying.

L (@QRU4Now) reported@AmazonHelp Thank you far more informative than abrieviated answers I got previously. I had to come here bcuz self help was insufficient. I stated at the outset I needed a person. The correct reply would've been, click the link, go to "something else" and scroll all the way down. TY

Charmi (@Charmi) reported@MiaAI_lab Had that problem, bought two sparks from Amazon and the box came in empty, it took three months so I could get a refund...

Javier ⚛ priv/acc (@jvr0x) reportedBeware of buying DGX Sparks from Amazon! Have seen a couple of weird stories already. I got my spark FE directly from Nvidia marketplace, the other one from a German store. No issues.

Jenny Ross (@Jennyil) reported@AmazonHelp Your Alexa show device just ruined another dinner and would not shut up when I asked it to. I am furious. I have not heard back about my other issue. I hate everything about Amazon now.

PaddysParlorGames (@PaddyohCakes) reported@archon @GaryD20Games I don’t blame anyone for not knowing. He’s been trying to cancel me for years and he’s just waiting for me to make a slip up. In case you weren’t aware, Amazon recently changed how it pays out royalties on merch sales. It often pays out less AND shirts that don’t move a single unit for over 18 months are auto removed from your store. I figure he needed a reason other than that to move to a new store. Conveniently, his YouTube page was taken down when Rumble announced its 100% creator revenue for paid channel subs. Very considerate of whomever is ‘cancelling him’ to do it when it’s convenient

anibad (@aniwacked) reported@JROSEOTERO @musktylerey It's just common sense. I don't know why we have to make **** so difficult for them. It's a bit different when Amazon hires people to use their own vehicle but as long as it's not an egregious abuse of the privilege it shouldn't be an issue.

fxevolution (@fxevolution) reportedHere are the 5 things that caught my attention today... 1. SpaceX was the market's biggest story after shares fell 13.6% ahead of tomorrow's 911.5 million-share lock-up expiry, when around 20% of the company becomes eligible to trade. With a huge increase in supply about to hit the market, investors are watching one question: Will insiders sell, or has the market already priced in the risk? 2. Jeff Bezos also made headlines after filing to sell billions of dollars worth of Amazon stock with the company trading near record highs. It comes after the S&P 500 has rallied more than 115% since late 2022. Founder selling doesn't automatically signal trouble, but it does show some of the biggest winners are comfortable locking in gains. 3. The SpaceX story spilled into semiconductors. AMD fell 7% after reports Elon Musk plans to source AI chips exclusively from Nvidia, while Nvidia gained 3.4% closing above previous resistance. In today's market, one customer decision can shift billions of dollars in market value, that's pretty wild. 4. Central banks continue quietly buying gold while it pushed above $4,200 at the close. South Korea's central bank joinined a growing list of countries increasing their reserves. Official institutions bought 289 tonnes of gold in Q2 2026, up 62% from a year ago and 407% from the previous quarter. 5. Earnings season continues to separate the winners from the rest. Disney gained 3.6% after reporting 7% revenue growth, while Amgen rose 4.6% as Repatha sales climbed 9%. Meanwhile, Alphabet fell 4% following another AI leadership shake-up, showing that markets are becoming increasingly worried by any news and is struggling to reprice the future. Patience. React, don't predict.

Akuma No Tsubasa (@totmacherx) reportedThen they also have to go after google, amazon, apple and every company that "sells" you e.g. movies. Because those are much more likely to have their license revoked and vanish than a game on any game store. So far I have lost 10ish movies I bought (at least only movies I don't really cared about) due to either license for the seller+hoster expiring and they had to take the movie down or the whole company closed and the movies were lost. Did that ever happen to me on a game? Losing desura yes. But that was only a company shut down. But did I ever lose a game due to licenses running out or other problems? I still have over 100 games on my steam list that are not being sold, lost their licenses or whatever and I can still download all of them and play them with no problems. Yet I see people almost only bitching about games where the chance for this happening is by far much much lower

**** Master Broda (@PimpMasterYoda1) reported@JohnTBTucker @spaceghost USPS does nothing? They were delivering more parcel packages than FedEx and UPS COMBINED for a while because they were taking on their workloads for ****** sums. When I was working at USPS, Amazon's boxes came in as a giant mess that was often not sorted properly which took hours to fix. Often they'd arrive broken and we got chewed out for it. FexEx's backbone is contractors that deliver for them just like Amazon. Most of them are continuing to go bankrupt so fast that the whole company relies on the terrible USPS deal to stay afloat.
