hopefully Amazon keeps track of the ppl who request a invite but dont buy. that way the chances of them taking a spot next time is less. like u requested like 10 items but bought only 1?

I work at an Amazon warehouse. I’m happy to help people get some deals on expensive stuff. I only ask that you not order beverages. Amazon works much differently than a grocery store. Each item has to be handled many times by various people. Very dense items are the worst.

Amazon is an e-waste retailer. They are a non-premium outlet designed to offload low-quality, cheaply manufactured scam products. Bad business

Amazon Prime Day deal my butt!!! I’ve been watching a grill long before Prime day. It has been $89.00 for awhile. It is STILL $89.00 but now it say -10$ off! How is this a deal when the price is STILL the same!! And yes I checked to see if the 10% off only applies at checkout….it does not! THIS IS A BAIT AND SWITCH!!!
Lawlesslarry
July 6, 2023 at 2:18 pm
That’s why they changed prime day to July. Amazon noted the discounts were the same or better on black Friday.
Might as well wait for black Friday. Competition among retailers on who gives the best discount is everything. Thus, at this moment in July, there is no competition.

I am relatively new to amazon but noticed prices go up weeks before prime day..then suddenly the prime deals are just the old prices… lol so prices are actually horrible on prime day

July 6, 2023 at 3:40 pm
there should be a wishlist dedicated to invites that also indicates the probability, in fact sorts it in that and even provides a graph of probability so you know where you stand. another crazy thing amazon could do is to have spinning wheels against each invite so while you are checking that wishlist, some if the invites would show spinning wheel icon. now if you hit that, it would produce a result and if that result is good, there’ll be a good jump in the invite’s probability.

Aight, ima head out. Don’t need to jump through hoops for a few bones. I’ll likely buy what I see “invite only” at some other retailer just out of spite. Amazon’s success was based on taking the friction out of shopping. But now, just like my old Econ textbooks told me a monopolistic company tries to do, it goes and adds moats and friction to the prices to flex its new found pricing power.

July 6, 2023 at 4:33 pm
Making customers work harder to get a discount by “request an invite” is not a winning strategy. People are easily just going to look someplace else to get similar items. Not only that, many retailers price match each other to a customer’s business. Amazon needs to have to have the best deals upfront with no BS.

The discounts are even discounts anymore. Most items I’ve seen at the same price for months and the they push the price up just before and bring it down during prime day

We couldn’t continue our prime membership because we have to remove our “payment method” after each purchase. Amazon has been internally compromised by organized crime. Our account was hacked for “gift cards” three times over two years for $2000+. Almost everyone we work with has had a similar experience. Since Amazon won’t admit there’s a problem, it would seem that it’s never getting fixed.

I’ve have never shopped on any amazon prime day or got a card for myself because I only get 1 to maybe 3 items every 5 weeks not nothing large or over 30 dollars only when needed not just wanted

Thank you for the informative video. Right to the point; no wasted time. My comments:
5:00 You said Prime membership “15 bucks a month or about 140 dollars a year.” But Prime is $129 per year if paid annually. And, paid monthly, 15 x 12 = 180 per year. So where did the “about 140 dollars a year” come from?
Also, some states add sales tax to the Prime membership fee.

Eh there’s no point anymore, it really bothers me you have to pay for returns now unless you purposely return due to “defective” even though it isnt. Thats the only way to get away with it because dropping off in a mailing store isnt always an option.

good thing they mention camelcamelcamel to track prices, many sales are bs, also she is right many retailers are having about the same discounts and some are asking a membership, for example bestbuy lost me here they are asking me to pay $50 annual to have the last week deal in one product that they remove the deal but now it’s behind that paywall. I don’t think it will go long before they desist this anticonsumer practice but it’s something to keep an eye on it. another thing the last 2 years of amazon prime days they have no real deals, many stuff usually outstock the deal was they have stock. let’s see if this year the deals are real, otherwise another prime day I will buy nothing

She is right about subscriptions- remember to cancel them when the free period expires- I was subscribing to Amazaon Prime Music for an extra $10 per mo without knowing, for 6 months! They refunded me 4 months of that, when I called them, so that was good.. just FYI.. so yes..be diligent.
