Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Has anyone noticed that myvipon.com has loaded much quicker in the last week than previously?

(Maybe only I noticed it because my internet is so slow.)

how does this site work

$22.79 with code 40496HUO

Unno. They keep on polluting their listings with “deals” like from “Wish” or whatever. Turning them off (wish it were sticky vs having to do it every damned time) speeds things up, though, by getting rid of the garbage.

maybe.
maybe not.

12 AAA Amazon Rechargeables for $13.50.

There are coupons codes on the site for Amazon and other retailers.

Some of the coupons are excellent deals, but many are not.

To access the coupon code, you must have a myvipon.com account, which is free.

Just be forewarned, lotta people were bitching’n’moaning about most of the stuff they ordered via “Wish” never being received.

My sister uses Wish, and she likes it.

I think it's like eBay with some sellers being reliable and some just being scammers.

I haven't use it, though.

I guess this should be the over claim flashlight. I read many review with poor quality and stop working in 5-6 months.

These are excellent little drivers, I have t6, 8 and 10 for knives maintenance. The kit is a pretty good deal but 5 slotted and only 2 torx sizes… not very useful for most electronic applications.

Just be forewarned, while it’s not horrible, it’s kinda “meh”…

Okay, this isn't a deal alert, but it does have to do with Amazon.

I ordered a blanket in December, and the blanket was too small for me.

I tried to return it, and to my surprise, I was told that I would get a refund and I don't have to return the item.

This has never happened to me before with Amazon.

I'll give the blanket to my mom, as she is quite a bit shorter than me, so the blanket should fit her better.

Talk about great customer service!

I was completely willing to return the blanket to get my refund.

By the way, I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon, and I really like their website even though their search function is terrible.

i heard a lot of stories like that, but that has never happened to me…

I just returned an pair of matching items I bought 3 weeks ago. The price dropped like 30% three days later. So I chatted Amazon explaining that I could either return the original items (for free) and buy the exact SAME discounted items (from the same seller) for about $30 less, OR they could just issue a refund for the difference. They said… “no can do”.

Soooo… I received the replacement (discounted) items last Tuesday at my door, taped a return label on the box JUST delivered (while the driver waited 30 seconds), and he took my “free return” for the full priced refunded.

What’s wrong with people!
