    Ha! Not really grumpy. Not sure what the second sentence says. Have I carried my wife's purse? Sure. Never bothered me. Have I ever been through either of my wive's purses? Not once.

    And NO ONE spends my money but ME

    Default Abbey....funny story about shopping on the Internet...

    Did you hear about the old man who spent $100.00 online, with EBAY?

    His wife was really pissed when she found out how much he spent.

    He sent away for a New Guaranteed Penis Enlarger, and waited three days for delivery.

    The doorbell rang, the Mailman held a small package, and handed it to his wife at the door.

    She didn't know what he ordered, called him, and he quickly opened the small package hoping to make his wife....REALLY, REALLY HAPPY.

    Sadly...after tearing off the paper, and the Bubble Wrap. His wife screamed, and laughed at him as he held the NEW......

    SCROLL DOWN....

    Why I love Amazon!

    Ok, I was spitting nails a bit ago. I got an email from them a week ago. It said, 'We credited you for returns we did not receive, unless they are returned we will debit your acct.' Since D's wedding, they've 'credited, then debited, then credited', ad nauseum. At first I 'chatted' with rep, inevitably it resulted in their having to call me. It's been 3 or 4 times. Today they debited my checking acct $80 some dollars. I called, ready to do battle! Meanwhile, the 'gift card, which should have been $0., is up to over $125. I ordered two things a couple weeks ago, an instant read thermometer and ink for my printer, $40-which they used my 'gift card' for, which should have been 0, as I said.

    I make it a practice not to 'go off' on the person on the phone, they didn't 'cause' the problem, I just want them to fix it. So I explained the problem, the repeated time consuming chats and phone calls. The reassurances that it would be 'straightened out.'

    As always, the person was very nice, apologetic, reassuring-they really do have excellent phone staff.

    They are crediting my debit-it will take 3-5 days though. I said, 'Ok, that's normal. Please just get it processed ASAP and get that gift card amount back to Amazon, I need to know that is gone, so if I buy something, I know the debit amount is correct. I just want to see a credit for the returns to my debit account, not a gift card! The ink and thermometer should be debited, but I want to be able to see those on my checking account."

    She responded, "Thank you for being patient and a loyal Amazon shopper. You're debit card will be credited within 3-5 days. Keep the gift card, use it for the holidays or for whatever you like.'

    So, I've got over $125 gift card, no charges for ink and thermometer, and $80 some credit on my debit!

    Yeah, wish it hadn't happened, but still is a great apology!

    Awesome... about the adding money back to your account or debit card, PayPal now has a deal that for $.25 it can be "instant," otherwise now it's just a day, like 12 to 24 hours. I don't know why Amazon should be any different at this point. I returned an adapter deal that didn't work right and they refunded me, and I think it went pretty quick. So 3 to 5 days, I think it should be quicker now.

    Any 'credit' I've had from any store has taken 3-5 days. It's like if you write a check, boom it's debited. Deposit a check, at least a couple of days. When all is said and done, I'm ahead over $160. That's not bad. I mean if they'd said, "Here's $10, we're sorry for the problems," I'd have been glad. LOL! AS LONG AS it is fixed for good.

    That was an awesome deal, and I agree, I love Amazon.

    But checks are totally different than a debit or credit card. Checks use old bank routing numbers and account numbers, paper, etc, but debit and credit cards are completely different with their own one number for everything, usually through VISA or Discover, whatever, and just with increased ways to improve efficiency, (sometimes that i after e except after c doesn't apply), money transfers can be instant. I do see how a "credit" can take longer though, simply by virtue of probably having to clear the proper channels through "people," the transfer of credit is probably very quick.

    Yeah you really must have sweet talked them to get a deal like you got... ...

    I didn't have to do anything. All I asked for was to get my money back in acct and take their gift card money back. The only thing I said is this the first time I'd had an ongoing problem with Amazon. I mentioned how much time I'd spent in the past month trying to get this to stop. It was sweet.

    I ordered something from Amazon that Gunny would make fun of, so I'm not telling. Anyways, ordered Sunday, they told me it would be delivered Wednesday. Today I saw on tracking that it will be delivered on Thursday. I went to chat and asked why? Again and apology and a 'one month extension on Prime.' Pretty nice, that's almost as much as the item. LOL!
