Which led to a loophole wherein if you ordered free coffee, you could also put other things in your cart and they would show up as free:

Specified normal shipping instead of free shipping to get it out the door before they fixed it. Just received shipping confirmation with tracking # just now.

I doubt Amazon is legally-bound by these sales since it's so obviously a loophole in the system.

I know, but some orders, like that guy with the headphones, are slipping through.

Apparently one person ordered a plasma tv for free, but he's still waiting for it to ship.

that was quick

No, no, no, it was expired BEFORE I posted.

If the New York subway system offered kiosks with Amazon.com on them, would your head explode?

 

[3phemeral]

I doubt it's going to work. There's probably a reason why his TV didn't get shipped and I'm sure they have something that fkags transactions like this.

 

[xsarien]

I think your (near daily) threads about what you've recently bought would be a lot more interesting if they were about what you DON'T order from Amazon.

This ... wasn't even about something I bought.

 

[Megat0n]

but it's still about amazon and we're getting tired of hearing about it, from you...

If we didn't know better, you'd think you were paid to advertise that site.

 

[DarthWoo]

I once got The Insider DVD (movie starring Russell Crowe about the tobacco whistleblower) for free after one of Amazon's goofs. Everyone who ordered it received it; although some speculate that it was a publicity stunt to get the movie noticed.

Yes, they're paying me to advertise a glitch that's costed them thousands of dollars.

If you don't wanna read my Amazon threads, don't open them. Simple.

Jeez, some of these people are scumbags:

I ordered mine with a virtual CC # with a $ limit on it for just the shipping....can't charge me

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showpost.php?p=1095803&postcount=179

Yeah, I want to know this too. I ordered an IPOD and it just shipped today. I guess the worst they can do is charge me then I'll just have to return it. The credit card I put into the system is no longer valid so I'm not quite sure how they can charge me anyway.

 

[fart]

if i ever meet you goodcow i'm going to slit your throat and feed your trachea to the strays that wander the alleyways of the city jungle

 

[B'z-chan]

So why the fuck didnt you tell us earlier about this Goodcow? You in love with amazon or some shit?

 

[SKluck]

Reminds me of a Nintendo fan... but for Amazon.

 

[goodcow]

So why the fuck didnt you tell us earlier about this Goodcow? You in love with amazon or some shit?

1. I didn't find out about this until they fixed it.
2. Even if this was a company I hated, this is just fucked up. You just know somebody's getting fired for this, and that ain't right.

So, what's wrong with GoodCow, guys? Tell me.






....now, GoodCow, telling US so WE get free stuff IS right. Help your bretheren, son. Help us.

My heart absolutely bleeds for the people in the SD forums who couldn't try harder to red flag their orders by trying to get Amazon's system to give them an iPod for free.

(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

 

[RaymondCarver]

I thought someone would get away with it IF they tried for other things, lik, not an iPod.





They should have ordered a bar-b-que pit, office furniture, or something.

 

[shuri]

Sometimes I wonder why people actually report those bugs to a forum filled with cheap people who live for that stuff. If I was them, I would order my stuff, wait until (and if) it shipped, then a week later, I would post a message about it

 

[Jim Bowie]

I like goodcow.

I like goodcow's threads.

I like when I read that goodcow seriously bought soap off the internet.

You guys should shut up about goodcow.
