I keep getting emails from Amazon trying to persuade me to black Friday deals or Xmas presents - so fuck them, just ordered chocolates from @jeremyjenkins.net Jenkins Emporium #SupportIndependentBusiness

This is my daughter's business: blackfoxmetalcraft.co.uk

Browse their website, and buy their hand made products rather than the mass produced imported stuff.

Dear Amazon:

You are correct.

P.S. I don’t miss you at all.

It took a lot to finally track it down, but my order from @warandpeas.bsky.social arrived and it’s freaking awesome! So stoked to rep the stickers across my car and my skateboard.

Image is of a chat with customer service rep where they don’t like my reason for cancelling a membership to a big business and never come back on the chat.

Never did hear back from this customer service rep or get the refund. #SupportIndependentBusiness
