there is plenty of order problems with amazon. i order some stuff, enough for free shipping,check option -to send only everything together. they send me my stuff piece by piece and charge S@H for it. after i found it-they issue a credit,blaming on technical issues. then-they did it again and again. then-after i send entire order back and tell them that i don't want have any business with them they charge me for PRINTING SHIPPING LABEL. i never use their label or shipping or whatever, since we have UPC right in our place and it cheaper. on my order-total amount been changed day by day without any reason. then-they try to charge me for restocking fee on unopened items(like dvd in factory wrap,never been open) i can only imagine,how much money they will made during holidays on such errors. all together-i found more than 6 errors in one single order and still did not receive all my money back..probably i will file complain to federal trade commission, to investigate all this crap.
Oddiduro, I am not predicting the demise of AMZN, just that their business concept is flawed and I suggested not buying a digital downloadable book from them. Peace (Do not feed the trolls, the trolls live off negativity
Their business concept is flawed all on basis that they lost your digital book?? AMAZON is a good [long] term short because they lost your digital book?? BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Thanks for the laugh. LMAO!!
I suppose Amazon just needs a more accurate way to verify that the entire book was downloaded. Doesn't mean the business model is inherently flawed.
just because u got screwed on the product dont mean jack in terms of stock price performance. stock price is determined by supply and demand.
I have bought software that is downloaded only (no CD shipped), and the policy was much easier than what you describe from Amazon. After accepting my payment, they would email me a link to the download site and I would have 24-48 hours to download the software. That way, if my download fails, I can retry/resume it. If Amazon only allows you a single try to download the book, then that is definately flawed;
Even if their digital downloads are problematic, as you say, I seriously doubt they're a significant portion of Amazon's total revenues. So, other than one bad order, perhaps you can elaborate on the reasons why you believe Amazon's business model is flawed?
I don't know what this guy is talking about, fleance. I have purchased four ebooks from Amazon and they downloaded with no problems. (Both Microsoft and Adobe varieties.) If I log into my account at Amazon I have the option to click a button, "Download Again". Even though I've already successfully downloaded them once.
