Well, they did not change much. I ordered 8 2 oz espresso shots for my business and they came in a huge box with 5 separate boxes inside and that was for only 5 shots glasses. They had to send me another big box with my forgotten 3 shot glasses. Sad to say they are still wasting the environment.

You have inspired me. I’ve been really lame about my blogging lately, feeling like nothing I type matters. Now here you are showing me that simple blog posts by regular people can get noticed and bring about change. I need to start posting regularly again.

Nice to see an online retailer paying attention.

Perhaps they’re realizing the value of viral word-of-mouth advertising… both positive AND negative.

I seriously doubt if they researched you enough to find some obscure video with a name…. And your domain name just links to your hosting company. I think it’s far more likely they just searched their sales records for the past 2-3 weeks and matched up 1)Texas orders 2) single-item orders and 3) single-item electronics. Also, maybe you use the prefix “Dr.” in your Amazon registration info? Also (2), you said the package arrive “today” on 3/18, so they know the delivery date as well and could narrow the number of orders very easily. Oh also (3), your “about” page says your first name is Allen.

I’m with J Roth:

“But I’m NOT complaining because; 1) free shipping; 2) it came fast; 3) was exactly what I ordered.

And after years of transactions, for my money Amazon is the best company on the planet. Period.”

I have Amazon Prime…one click and the item is sent right to the person for whom it’s a gift, with free shipping for two day delivery, or next day for only $3.99. It’s the best deal ever!!!

You posted a video of yourself last month. Your name and hospital were displayed, but even if they missed that, your coat is embroidered with it… :-)

I ordered an SD card from Amazon a couple of weeks back. It came in an approximately 6″ by 8″ by 4″ box with the same air pillow packaging. The card itself, mounted on a 4×6 card sat in the bottom of the box. In this case it was an example of extreme overkill whch I found quite amusing because the thing would have been quite safe in an ordinary brown envelope and probably would have required less postage as well.
