I wouldn't order high-value items from Amazon these days regardless. There are too many hands in the chain that get paid little and would have no problem removing said high-value items.

I looked back at Amazon purchases over the last 5 years, only found two orders for items over $100.. Pit Boss vertical smoker, and a GTX 2070..

I generally prefer to avoid Amazon these days, especially for high value items though. I can never guarantee I'll be around to secure the package upon delivery. I've opted to have packages held at the ups/usps/fedex facilities for pick-up on a number of occasions. The 'wrong item received' scam is not something I've really ever considered. I suppose I've naively assumed that delivery drivers would not be compromised.

If I have to order something from Amazoff, I'll have it sent to work or to one of the lockers in the area. I try not to order much from them anymore, that's not difficult since their prices aren't great these days.

I recently ordered a usb hub/micro sd card reader since after going to several electronics stores, the employees gave me a blank stare when I attempted to tell them what I were looking for. The closest thing any of these employees were able to come up with was a usb charging hub which allowed 5 or 6 devices to plug into an electrical outlet.

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.

Posts that are amusingly bad may be moved to and deemed "Coke." Batteries are not included, this offer void where prohibited by law, which is pretty much everywhere including the moon, Mars, and specifically exoplanet GA3-701 where it is punishable by a fine of not less than 15²⁸ stimborbs and 376 solar years in prison. No cash value save that which is in your pants pockets and will need to be given to us. By using this sub, you offer control of your eternal soul to stupidbird who may use it for whatever purposes, up to and including the dark arts in which case your only recourse is to appeal to the council of evil and have your petition denied. Birds are not real. We’ll decide what will be on the contract. You’ll pay us to be allowed to do the work. You will make the product. Then you’ll give it to us, and it will be ours forever. If anybody buys it, we might give you some money. If you’re lucky. Or we might put it in a drawer and forget about it. In any event you will get nothing, and you will thank us for it. This isn't the algorithm, it is close. You understand that any breach of this agreement will invoke unspecified consequences of a dire nature, potentially affecting your being in ways beyond your comprehension. Proceed at your own peril. We've increased your synergy, but this sub cannot save you money if you own a parakeet. Parakeets are not real. All posts here are for informational purposes only and should not be taken as business or medical advice. Supplies are limited, this offer void after January 1, 1922 or when supplies are exhausted. Please put that down, don't stick that in there, and for the love of god please put on some pants, no one wants to see that. (c) 1988 Con-Troll, Inc, PO Box 12, Wrestlemania, MN.
