Didn't Dominos do this a few years ago with a pizza delivery button? It was pretty cool but I never got one.

#222This disruptive solution really helps me solve my only remaining excuse to not get out of the house. Buying detergent at the store nearby every 3 months was such an ordeal. Thanks Amazonistan.

#223This makes me envious of you Americans. Here in Norway online shopping involves finding an online store that sells what you need (there's no site that sells everything, like Amazon, here), going through a cumbersome sign-up/payment process, paying a lot of money for the shipping costs, waiting several days and having to go to the post office unless the package is really small (or if you're willing to pay even more fo…
I'm pretty sure most Americans will give up amazon for free education, health care, paid maternity and paternity leave and the many other social benefits Norway provides to its nationals.
Please don't tell me you think those things are actually "free".

I think it's ridiculous just because it clearly involved a lot of effort to solve a problem that doesn't really need solving. The choice isn't between a button and the massive hassle you describe. The choice is between a button and ordering the product on your smartphone in ten seconds, or picking up the product at the grocery store the next time you're there. How often do you need laundry detergent? Every two weeks?…
Honestly, I'd much rather press a button to reorder toilet paper that I place right on the toilet. If you don't see the benefit of that then you are not their target consumer.

#226This is an April fool right - just leaked a day early.

#227I predict about 10 minutes before my asshole friends have ordered me 100 boxes of Tide by pushing this button about 100 times as a gag.
> Amazon sends an order alert to your phone, so it's easy to cancel if you change your mind. Unless you elect otherwise, Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered.

Did you read it, it only activates once until the product has been delivered.
Re: Amazon Dash Button
#229I am so putting one behind the toilet paper roll to enable "the button press of shame."
My hope is that this is for April 1.
I can't believe this isn't already built into Keurigs.

>Everything comes in a packet from a trusted brand who is taking are of you. And how is this different from the present ? Everything comes non-packets ? From an untrusted brand ? That dystopian future sounds better somehow.
Depends on your present. I like to make a choice before buying things. Especially coffee.
That sounds exhausting. I need my decision-making-juice[0] for more important things.
