Looks like David Pecker just lost his Prime membership. Enjoy a lifetime of 14 day shipping, bro.

It's amusing to imagine an internal "Bezos shit list" at Amazon, where being on this list causes everything you order get flagged and delayed/mispacked/etc.
Oh god, can you imagine if you consistently got your orders fulfilled by the scam/knockoff providers? Being absurdly rich, yet everything you own is cheaply made and you have no clue why.
Wow, you have just described my Amazon shopping experience, except without being absurdly (or even remotely) rich.

But seriously, I actually got caught up in Amazon’s anti-fake-review dragnet and my account cannot review anymore without possibility of appeal. Being falsely accused made me irritated just enough to boycott all Amazon services.

At first it was tough, but then I realized I spend money on good quality products now, and, because I either have to wait for shipping from other suppliers or go in-person to a store, I’ve eliminated online impulse buys. It’s actually amazing how much fake or cheap stuff there is on Amazon.

Fully agree, and walmart online is an easy replacement and often less expensive.
And all your EC2 instances have noisy neighbors, no matter how many times you terminate and reinstantiate. A living nightmare.
Likely just switch to eBay at that point, with Fast & Free most items show up in 2 or 3 days. Newegg and a few hundred others also do Shoprunner, which is 2 day shipping if you spend enough to qualify (iirc buying a few hundred dollars a year worth of stuff). Cutting Amazon out of my life has definitely been an improvement :D
I believe you may have taken the previous post as serious rather than the joke it was.
Lol, I did. Was split on whether it was facetious, but its a good opportunity to highlight who else is offering 2 day shipping :P
Also using AWS for the National Enquirer website including Route 53 for DNS https://twitter.com/ryanhuber/status/1093665718464327680
I wonder where they have stored those alleged incriminating photos... An S3 bucket backing some sort of CMS system they use to run that website?
He also probably lost the protection Mueller offered him and AMI for co-operation.
