also your value was lower than what im going for so i wonder...

Would EB work on this item? oim reading too heavy, but also how exact does the weight have to match for WIR

I didn't even have an account, I checked out as a guest. I wouldn't use someone else's account just because I wouldn't want them involved in it, (them getting the emails). Value shouldn't matter, it's all the same to the rep. EB would be too heavy. Within a few grams to be on the super safe side, other people might tell you different.

oh nice i didnt know about guest checkout.. but you said you had an aged BB account, did you not end up using it?

If only It's that simple.

Do expect an Investigation and possibly a PR.

Both are much of a muchness.

Wrong Item received method - what item to swap macbook with and will swapping work on bestbuy? Assuming amazon swapping with cat food even would work since they sell those.
Boxing method - whats that?
Faulty Item method for tech-based products - whats that?
Disposed of the faulty Item method (as above) - whats that?
Leaking battery method (for obvious reasons) - would this work?
The missing Item method (weight permitted) - how do you know they "missed" weight

It depends on the complexity of the claim, and the Information that needs to be collected to assess It and come to a decision.

How long Is a piece of string? How deep Is a hole?

Impossible to generalize.

So i went to place an order with Amazon . Noticed it showed if I ordered within 22 hrs i get it earlier. Then while deciding...it changed to 3 days later. I kept refreshing to get the message back and earlier delivery date. It didnt show up so i placed the order and THEN it showed the earlier date again.

So i cancelled within minutes cuz the item was showing faster delivery if i ordered 'within 22 hrs" again so i placed the order again

Then 10 mins later get an email about unusual activity on my amazon account ....and its acting me to submit info like billing details and documents to prove its my card or something.


What did i fuck up? And should i just proceed with it? I can even login to see anything to get past this screen

From a legit standpoint, Amazon have done the right thing - your actions triggered a security alert and they've acted on It accordingly.

Comply with their request.
