Yeah well.
There use to be a time when you paid for prime.
You would get free shipping and free video.
Now they make you pay an additional fee for the video content.
 
And most of the time it take 4-5 days to get anything, plus they've removed the options in many cases to have the item packaged in a box to either hide it or protect it. I received an item last week in a flimsy box that amazon put in a plastic bag. No way could I give it as the intended gift, looks like it came from a garage sale.

Yesterday I received mortal & pestle set to grind up dog pills to put in their food; the styrofoam case had the tape slit, it had been opened, discovered as cracked by the previous "owner" who returns it, dumbass vendor puts it back on shelf then ships it to me. :(

@TonyR It looks like the previous owner had taped on a sign and arrow pointing at the crack? Or was that you? I did the same thing the last time I returned a monitor with a dead pixel, so whoever inspected it would not be able to miss it. And if they didn't have anyone inspect it before selling it to the next poor schmuck, they wouldn't get away with it.

That was me.
And to be sure the vendor saw it THE SECOND TIME I took a black Sharpie and wrote on all 6 sides of the styrofoam container "CRACKED" !!!! :headbang:
