amazon vs Amazon

Hanh Takoszja! We received an order dated May 12, 2012 after the mail had gone out. That being a Saturday & there being no mail movement on Sunday, we shipped - with Delivery Confirmation - by USPS First Class Pkg service on May 14, 2012.  It was scanned in as delivered on May 16, 2012 - light speed!, from ND to FL!  And it wasn't even snowbird season.  !QQ!

We heard nothing until July 23, 2012 when the buyer emailed us, "where's my stuff?"  We emailed back immediately that we were horrified, the pkg was delivered according to the tracking data, and since it was in his local PO area, he would have to contact his PO to find out where it was delivered.  We asked him to keep us posted.

We heard nothing until August 27, 2012 when he again asked "where's my stuff?"  We emailed immediately asking what his PO said.  No response.  But a couple of days later, if I recall right, we had an A-Z Guarantee claim from him!  Amazon ignored our response & refunded his money, taking everything we had in our account & leaving a -$90++ balance.  They refunded shipping to him, which we do not charge, taking his refund to $197++! 

We told our Postmaster & he reminded me that back in July he said, "Turn it in to the Postal Inspectors Fraud Division.  This smacks of fraud."  This is why we all hate "I told you..."  So we turned it in 'now'.

There's information we're not including here about the buyer, but there is definitely fraud & we have ample proof of that.  The Postmaster, the Carrier Supervisor in FL, & the Postal Inspector all chuckle at Amazon's stance, which is: (1) 'it is Amazon's policy to never take the Sellers word for anything'; and (2) it is Amazon's policy not to take the USPS' word for having delivered, either!  Recently, Amazon added that "if you had gotten signature confirmation" we would refund your money.

My reply was, "Idiot - your village misses you.  Go report in there.  Since you don't take the Sellers word OR the USPS word for delivery, then you would claim a signature was forged.  This is a tails you win, heads we lose proposition & we're not suckering for it."

Takoszja, the USPS is a federal agency.  Or quasi-agency.  No matter.  It gets its funding from Congress & that makes it "some kind of federal agency".  Therefore, all of its employees are automatically taken by the courts to be unimpeachable sources of truth.  Besides, the carrier scanned the package as delivered.  Electronically whizzed to the USPS computers somewhere - so, better than a signature.

We are blogging this 'everywhere'.  We have spent our lives fighting abuse & taking abusers down.  Amazon is a bully; it is bullying & slandering the Sellers who make money for it.  NO ONE 'HAS' TO TOLERATE - LET ALONE ENABLE - ABUSE OF THEMSELVES! 

Please pass the word!  Boycott Amazon & tell them why.  & If you want to buy from us, look for Indian Maid Don Croft Zapper on the Internet & you will find us on Addoway, Bonanza, ebay, & ecrater, to name a few.  NO BULLYING ALLOWED! 

My ancestors are some of those who gave Custer what he so richly deserved.  Amazon is putting itself in the same leaky canoe.  Take Amazon down!  Pilamiyaye / Thank you!
