Ugh. Sick of this tired old movie 🤢

[City Councilor E. Denise Simmons @E_DeniseSimmons]

Happy New Year to all. Today marks my final day as Mayor of #CambMA. It has truly been an honor to serve Cambridge in this capacity for three terms, and I’m looking forward to the new Council term that begins next Monday. Onward!

Great news #CambMA: thanks to @MassGovernor Healey’s decisive action, MA residents will continue to have access to COVID‑19 vaccines starting today & insurers must cover them even if federal guidelines change. Learn more: https://t.co/UzAGeE3V0h

@AmazonHelp You’ve already looked into this several times. Please provide me a direct phone number I can call to speak to a live person who is authorized to make a decision on this.

[Neal Alpert @nalpert]

Hey @amazon — I bought a $200 window AC through your site. Returned it bc it didn’t work for my needs. Shipping it back cost me $127. Your own posted return instructions said if return shipping > $30, “contact the seller for an alternate resolution.” No resolution offered (1/2)

[Neal Alpert @nalpert]

@AmazonHelp This has subsequently launched me down a customer service rabbit hole in which I’ve now spent another 30 mins on the phone w/ your staff, being told to re-submit the same material and wait for further instructions. Not a great look @amazon

[Neal Alpert @nalpert]

I filed an A-to-z claim. You denied it because the product “matched the description.” This isn’t about the description — it’s about you ignoring your own posted return terms and sticking a customer with a $127 bill. How is that remotely fair or acceptable? @AmazonHelp

@Uber_Support Will do

[Neal Alpert @nalpert]

@UberEats Hi I ordered dinner for me and my girlfriend, her entree arrived and mine didn’t. When I went to the app to request help I was given a $5 credit but not a refund for the missing entree. *Please* issue a refund, thank you!
