Questions about amazon and UPS

Post by hardrrocker »

Um I I'm just wondering the possibility about being scammed on amazon. Also how long does it take Ups ship stuff?
I put rocket fuel in my vaccuum and it started a fire in my house. I am so mad at Black & Decker for making a vaccuum that I can't do what I want with.

UPS ground is usually 5 or 6 days at most I believe depending on how far something is being shipped. Did you guy from Amazon, or the marketplace? Do you have a tracking number yet?If you don't have a tracking number, I wouldn't consider it shipped yet.

One thing I hate about UPS is that they will just dump your package on your doorstep and leave if you're not there.

If you can, always insist on signature delivery whenever you use UPS.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Marketplace sellers usually use USPS. Amazon packages will give you a tracking number once they've shipped. If the item hasn't shipped yet I'd suspect you got the Free Super Saver shipping which takes some time before it ships. In terms of Amazon itself scamming you; it won't happen. If you never get a package from a marketplace seller you can open a grievance on the site to get your money back. I've never had because I've had very good experiences with Amazon sellers.

Same here, always positive experience with Amazon backed sellers. Even if just a sponsored seller, you get Amazon's reassurance. An E-Mail to the seller usually takes care of any shipment errors, seller doesn't want to lose standing with Amazon.

I got standard shipping.
