Fucking Amazon

Like-they are all in concert acting nefariously together…like Marvel’s H.Y.D.R.A.?

Surely, you’re pulling my leg here.

Hydra isn't an acronym, the name just alludes to their "Cut off one head, two more grow to take its' place." motto, like the mythical Greek creature that they're named after.

Oops. I had A.I.M. on my mind.

I ordered a couple of switch games for one of my kids for Christmas on Amazon, one wasn’t in the shrink wrap. It still looked othewise new so I didn’t send it back but it was obviously a return.

The only thing i buy semi regularly on Amazon is records but i have noticed they are no longer always the cheapest and I recently had a warning because i return too many because a lot of records are defective.

How are they defective?
Brand new or used?

Here in Europe, things are still alright at Amazon. I mostly buy Indie PS4 games there when they are discounted. These are impossible to find at regular stores here. I also buy the occasional TPB comic if I fancy reading one. But I must admit that eBay is mostly the better choice for English language books.
I tried Amazon Prime music but it sucks everytime I click on something it says I need to go unlimited. I haven't heard a single song.
Amazon Prime video is ok and much cheaper then netflix but they have much less quality.

Honestly, I prefer going to actual stores.But it is getting pretty hard. The only useful store is FNAC but still they don't have it all.

Brand new but they might have a scratch or be warped for example from the factory. New vinyl is a bit of a crapshoot.

Another Amazon tip if you don't already have Prime:

If you can find a $25+ item that you want that has a coupon discount at checkout, you can "trick" Amazon into giving you the $25+ free shipping anyway, even if your discounted total is less than that amount. For example, if you found an item that costs $28, with a 50% off coupon at checkout, you'd only pay $14.00 + sales tax, but, Amazon would still treat the normal $28 price as $25+ and give you the free shipping anyway, even though you only really spent about ~$15. And you'll still get the bonus 24 hours of free shipping, for additional items of any price, that I mentioned before, on top of that, afterwards too.
