Online Shopping & Service SUCKS??

I am MAD right now, at F-AMAZON. I am an Amazon Prime member & been looking for a Back Pack. I found this nice looking High Sierra Access backpack & chose the one color to buy. Different color somehow had different prices. I decided that i'll order it in evening cuz didnt wanna do it at work. I go home in the evening & the price was bumped up by $7. What the FUNK? Just in few hours, in the same day, the price of particular model i selected got bumped up. All other models/colors are priced SAME. WTF... Online shopping sometimes really SUCK because of this (apart from all other reason - u cant see the stuff in real, no guarantee of quality, sometime, shipping issues etc). I am SO MAD. Like ometimes same happens for flights/hotels & whatever. I have read that sometimes these guys bump up prices jsut for the customer who was looking for it & all that. I kinda like AMAZON but this was bad. Sending them an email complaing about this to see what they can do. I have had other sucky experiences as well.

  • Like I recently ordered BACKJOY from backjoy.com, a seat pad to help you lower back etc. It never came to me. Those guys put wrong address on the order even when I gave them right address. WHen I asked for my money back, they tell me they can only return the price but not shipping. WTF?? After long argument, they said they'll put a request. Because of my persistence, I was able to make it alright but will share more about it later.
  • I had also ordered Seating-Solution from Amazon, which is a seat cushion. Had great reviews & was nice in beginning. But started getting compressed & doesn't seems as useful now for long use. Also ordered battery for my phone & they guy never sent it to me. They did return my money but I didnt get what I needed in time.
  • Reminds me of eBay incident. I bought this watch & accessory set from eBay few years ago & the seller never SHIPPED my item. No response to email or whatever & just disappeared. eBay later disabled her account but WTF?? I lost my money & didn't get anything. Recently bought a head/ear phone too which seems to be broken in few weeks. They didnt send me what I asked for, changed (upgraded) the order & now this. eBay is really SHADY sometimes.
  • There is this site I recently found called 1saleaday.com, I really liked it in beginning because of nice looking deals. But the first order of a watch which never showed up was really disappointing. Got few other small things like cuff-links, card-holders etc which are all very poor quality or not really good. I thought it would be my DEALS2BUY.COM (which I like) but...
There is so much I can write now if I think. I also have complains from so many places.... American Airlines is really sucky as I shared my experience I guess (did I?). Had a tussle with Hotels.com, still in progress on that. Can't remember it all & don't wanna fill this whole blog with RANTS & RAVES, but ONLINE SHOPPING sometimes really SUCKS!!

JFK & American Airlines sucks.... Airport, Airlines & Flying woes!!

BTW, big news: For the first time in my entire life (entire!!) my flight got canceled on last Thursday due to snow. They were giving me something on late Friday but I called & convinced them to give me early morning flight. But Airtrain was not running in morning at JFK & I couldnt make it to morning flight (as per them). The flight was at 7.00 am, I was at Jamaica Center for Airtrain at 5.30 but there was no train for an hour. I got in Train at 6.30 & managed to reach the flight counter before 6.50 am. I had an email from American Airlines that flight is at 7.30 am & I was there in time. On the video display at airport it said "Boarding". But at the counter they didn't let me in. They said flight has left. Whata bunch of liars. The flight was right there but they probably over sold or sold my ticket to someone else but didnt let me board the flight. They gave me 10 am flight & I got to SFO really late.  American Airlines & all the airlines suck at stuff like these. They are mostly not helpful & they let people suffer if there are any cancellation or delays. This is not GOOD. I am not going to keep shut & I am going escalate this to higher authorities, lets see what happens.
