I tried to return a couple of things within 30 days last month, they offered me less than purchase price plus ridiculously expensive shipping. Total refund would have been around 70% of purchase price.

Not what I expected when I signed up as a Prime customer.

Three years ago, a friend of a friend told me that he knows people inside UPS/Fedex/etc who steal expensive items, and sell them to fencers. Now it is time to pick up your expensive stuff from local stores, even if you place orders online.

Web retailers being slow is nothing new. Especially during December.

Well, who is responsible for the theft? Whoever handled this piece stole it. So many hands from shipping to delivery. It is my hunch that either the driver or some folks in the local distribution center stole it. A secret code doesn't solve the problem, unless the receiver opens the box in front of the delivery driver.

This reads more like a rant unfortunately. While I agree with the closing statements, I think you realized it too late. You already made Amazon an almost undestroyable behemoth with the previous 83 purchases of yours (sure, you didn't do it alone. But your patronage was essential while it lasted). You can't really make that not-happened, it's late for that.

On a different note, it is not Amazon's interest to scam you. But unfortunately it is one rando's word (yours) against another rando's word (the driver, or whoever), without a lot of proof that could be sent to the police.
