Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

Welcome to Gadgets & Apps's Private Community

It's disheartening when you try not to harbor negative feelings towards someone, but their actions make it challenging. This little rant is regarding my recent experiences with Amazon.

As a loyal Amazon customer, Amazon has always been my first choice for online shopping. However, my relationship with Amazon has been deteriorating over the past few months.

Contacting Customer Service

Firstly, Amazon, why is it so difficult to contact you for an order-related query? Why do I have to hunt furiously for the CTA every time I need to reach customer service? And if my query remains unresolved, I have to go through the entire process again, explaining my issue from scratch. It’s quite disappointing to experience this from such a massive giant. 

Delivery Executives and Sellers

Doorstep Delivery? Prime Membership? What is the relevance of these when they do not apply to "Prime Members"?

Yes, my home is on the 4th floor without elevator service (I’m not a privileged citizen, living in Bangalore). I understand the challenges delivery executives face climbing all four floors to deliver a product. I occasionally go downstairs to collect my order whenever possible. However, last week, when I was sick with a fever and confined to my bed, I asked the delivery executive to bring the package to the 4th floor. A few minutes later, I received a message that the delivery attempt had failed. I tried to contact the delivery person, but my call was cut off.

I called Amazon customer support, and they assured me the delivery would be re-attempted and necessary actions would be taken.

The next day, I received a call from the delivery executive. Unfortunately, I was in a meeting and asked for the delivery to be made to my door again. The same scenario repeated.

Do you all think the Amazon user experience is transparent?
Can anyone help me how I can contact their customer service executive.

BSC bombarding social medias (huge marketing spends) with 18rs sales. The moment you hit the checkout, it’s adding delivery fee of 99 on stuff worth 36. Won’t allow you to add > 1 item/SKU. 

Who design such campaigns? Abandoned carts📈🥲

- The Amazon rivers are experiencing record low water levels due to a severe drought and reduced rainfall.
- Ribeirinhos, the traditional riverbank dwellers, are struggling to access clean drinking water and rely on external supplies.
- Older residents face significant challenges as they have to walk long distances to fetch water from the riverbanks.
- The Brazilian Geological Service warns that all rivers in the Amazon basin are expected to drop below historical levels.
- Low water levels are also impacting transportation and agriculture, isolating communities and affecting crop shipments.

Amazon Prime Day 2024 Sales Hit Record $14.2 Billion

Can anyone from Amazon help me regarding OFM team? I have tried everything, but their service team is on a broken record on chat, calls, email.

My delivery was incompletely delivered (only 2 out of 4 items delivered). I escalated on the Customer care chat and calls. I sent the photos of the delivery with date & name as they had asked.

I received email from OFM@amazon.in saying, "We know that occasional problems with orders are expected in the normal course of business. However, the number of refunds for damaged items in your account exceed the expectation and is in violation of our conditions of use policy." I have never returned or asked refunds from Amazon in the past 4-5 years. So for them to tag me feels to be a big mistake.

After this all calls to customer teams say that their investigation said that the delivery was complete and nothing will be resolved. I had 6-8 calls but all specialists say the same. There is no escalation possible now. 

But the delivery was incomplete! I carefree took the delivery with the OTP because it's Amazon, they generally deliver and customer service resolves the rare issues. But this order was a but expensive and  has been a nightmare. 

After this I would be forced to order COD and ask the delivery guy to open the parcel everytime. Prepaying for delivery is done for.

Can anyone from Amazon help out regarding the OFM team here?

Not sure if we ever needed glasses for 10 mins. If it's not worse for the environment, and can be done with good economics, it's actually the best thing ever.

I'm just baffled at how every new thing is first criticized by everyone. Then, if it's truly amazing, it becomes the new normal very soon.

In the beginning, everyone was like "Why do we need grocery in 10 mins". Then it became normal. And now we're on to unimaginable stuff.

What are some unknown benefits of Amazon prime

Benefits of Amazon prime

Always had a fascination for flying objects as a kid. 

If this held true, I would really love to work in the aerospace domain. Building insane drones or UAVs would be awesome, especially after a decent stint in software.

Was reading about this company called Zipline which works in autonomous aerial delivery. Quite insane how they supply medical supplies in Rwanda using gliding drones that are launched across the country.

Stories like these inspire an entire generation to take up engineering and change the world.

What about you all?
