Re: Amazon Raises Free Shipping Minimum to $49
I guess we've been lucky. Don't know what to tell you other than it may also be an issue with the particular mail carrier assigned to your root.
As I mentioned earlier, my wife for example sells on Amazon and ships roughly 120 to 150 packages a month. Not to mention the regular stuff that goes out. Off the top of my head, I can recall maybe two parcels getting completely lost and even then, she's been able to get reimbursed for the value of the package from the USPS since insurance is included automatically when under $100 for priority mail. Which is her default method of shipment. There have been times every blue moon where something's gotten rerouted or delayed, but considering the shere volume of mail being moved around, that's not terribly unexpected. She did have some instances where the buyer claims that they never got anything, but it's hard to say since there are scams out there where this is the MO. This is why again, she's made it a custome to include signature confirmation for apartment buildings for example.
We also get a lot of parcels be it for merchandise she orders or just regular mail stuff for my home based business where USPS and the other services drop off. UPS, ON Track, FedEx...
Admittedly, we are in a residence and not in a building, but even then. I often joke with her that the neighbors must think we're drug dealers since the UPS or USPS folks are always running up to our door to drop or pick up.

Absolutely not true. The USPS is so incompetent and inefficient that I
often do not get updated tracking infornation until after my shipment has
been delivered. Last year, they managed to lose two fairly large
packages
that had been shipped by Amazon which just vanished without a trace
somewhere in their system, never to be seen again. In both cases, Amazon
refunded the cost of the orders.

Re: Changing landline to wireless.
I think you have a point about the land line. Verizon wanted to port it
and charge $20 a month for some kind of a box thing. One of my friends
has that, and the quality is terrible.
We qualified for an upgrade with Verizon, and I got an LG Rivera 3. It
has speech accessibility and little dots on Send and End. I believe that
I'll like it.
Bye for now,
Carolyn

The clarity and quality in sound with a landline is so much better than a

to ask them to repeat what they have just said because I missed part of

Jaws and numbering problem
Hi folks. I have a jaws question (I use Jaws 16) that is
bugging me. I've just got my PC back after having a new motherboard and a new
power supply fitted. In installing jaws I notice that when I enter a folder it
doesn't give me the correct number of files, or folders in a particular
folder. For example I have an audio book drive and I know there is thirteen
and a half thousand books in there but when I open the drive/folder it will say
the first file/folder is one of 19 and if i go down it gives me different
values. So if it says the first file is one of 19 and then I go down another
18 files/folders then it should read 19 of 19 but it will say something like 36
of 54. I've gone into the view menu and checked the list option but it has
made no difference. Does anybody know how to get Jaws to announce how to
pronounce the correct value such as 5,390 of 10,460 or 6,243 of 13,498 etc
please. Your help would be valued. Walter.

Re: Amazon Raises Free Shipping Minimum to $49
Hi Group,
I had a friend who routinely had problems with UPS and Fed Ex. On one
occasion, it benefited him. He actually saw the UPS driver place a
package containing a radio in the back of a station wagon in his
neighbor's driveway. No one else was around so he snatched it up and
then reported that he never got it. He got another radio.
Both the UPS and USPS have issues. UPS has essentially emasculated it's
union, so it's once perfect record is now blemished. USPS has cut
wages, benefits and hired a lot of part timers at 10 dollars an hour
with no benefits and massively cut back the number of postal
inspectors--causing issues. Downsize Downsize Downsize!

Re: Got An Interpol Email in my spam folder?
It is spam. There would be really nothing in the contents worth even being curious about. Just delete it and be done.

Hi. I checked my spam folder and I got this email. In the
subject, it says, "Interpol Confirmed The Truth About Your Fun."
Is this a scam? Have you received these emails?

Re: Amazon Raises Free Shipping Minimum to $49
Just a note on shipping prices. USPS is actually the cheapest carrier i know of. I prefer them to do my shipping. Free come to your door pickup and great pricing.
What more do you want?

I don't see how Amazon does the free shipping even at that price. I guess the shippers give the big shippers a big discount. I sent a 13 pound package by UPS recently and it cost me $37, much more than the cost of the contents of the package.

But this would not be unusual as things is slowing down on buying
and so you would expect this. I don’t think they had or even thought
of the blind people when doing this . It is just good business sense.
If you not selling as much you cannot afford to cut the price of

Yikes! Imagine my horror when I visited Amazon.com this morning to discover that they have raised their minimum order size to qualify for free shipping from $35 to $49 for non-Prime members. This is a whopping 40% increase, and makes it more difficult for those of us blind consumers who live on limited incomes to now shop there. It’s bad enough that Amazon keeps tinkering with its web site to the detriment of screen reader users like us. But now, to add insult to injury, they have now made it more difficult to get free shipping. A pox on Jeff Bezos and all his ancestors!!! LOL!!

Hi.
Does it matter?
You always have tracking numbers and can find out where you're packages are.

Re: Amazon Raises Free Shipping Minimum to $49
I'm not planning on switching. Prime is awesome!!
For example, if i need something for work and i need it now, i can get next day shipping sometimes for under 10 bucks.
That alone makes it worth it. Who else has next day shipping this cheap?

You could always give Jet.com a spin. Can't recall the free shipping threshold though.
We're Prime members, so this doesn't affect us, but I can see how it may impact those on a tighter budget. Previously, I would have suggested going in with someone else to off-set the Prime cost, but with Amazon making changes to their Prime terms last year, it's not that simple anymore.

Veronica, that might depend on the network. Here in my Denver bush, the
clarity of my cell phone communication is at par with my land line. Yes,
some wireless service providers have lots of dead spots here and there as
one drives around town; here in my bush, TMobile is the worst! In ancient
buildings around here, especially the ones with lots of steel beams and
aluminum, even AT&T and others get atrociously sick.
Having said that, I'll still take cellular service over VO/IP.

Re: Changing landline to wireless.
Well where I am at don't get real good cell service around 1 to 2 bars so
having a phone of some other kind is a must. I went with a VOIP phone and
have it setup so when you call my VOIP phone which is my house phone it will
ring my cell phone as well. So I can pick up on either phone.
I also have a traditional land line phone but have to have that to get my
internet service as all I can get is DSL where I am at. Otherwise I would go
with cable internet and get rid of the traditional land line ! I would just
have my iPhone and VOIP phone.

The clarity and quality in sound with a landline is so much better than a
wireless phone. Also when I talk with friends who are using a wireless

to ask them to repeat what they have just said because I missed part of
their conversation.
