"Atlas Productions has setup a web page for consumers of the DVD to request a replacement title sheet free of charge." Free of charge? What kind of socialist nonsense is that??

Even if something is against "store policy," it never hurts to ask for an exception...

Hello,

I bought an AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket one week ago. Today I see the price has changed from $199.99 to $0.01. Obviously I'm very unhappy to hear this.

Short of returning the phone, what can you do to make me feel better about my first (and possibly last) experience with Amazon Wireless?

Thanks.
Hello,

Thanks for contacting us about the recent price change on Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G Android Phone (AT&T) . I recognize you have a choice of retailers and appreciate that you prefer to order from us. Unfortunately, we do not have a post-order price guarantee.

I've reviewed your order and see that the price change is significant from the time the item shipped.

Under the circumstances, I'll make a one-time exception for you and issue a refund for the price difference in the amount of $199.98. You should see the refund in the next 2-3 business days.

Please understand that I'm issuing this refund because of the exceptional circumstances, and I'm doing this for you against our standard policy.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A PRICE GUARANTEE?
While we don't always beat the best available price on every product, we do offer deep discounts on many thousands of items. From time to time, prices on some items will change due to special offers from suppliers and manufacturers or our inventory and sales volumes. When we can offer a lower price for new purchases we will, but we cannot extend these discounts to completed orders.

Thanks for shopping at AmazonWireless. We look forward to your next visit.

By the way, every AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon phone is still on sale for 1 cent thru the 28th with activation of a new line (not sure about contract extensions).

I am currently enjoying having Kate Bush's new album 50 Names For Snow played at me from around the corner.

It's not very cold outside.

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Hopefully its a more fun, better paying job. Either that or a job that lets you spend even more time on here! ;-)

Pretty sure it will be a job that lets me spend quite a bit less time on here, so...hopefully the first one!

In Finding Nemo, the great white shark's name is Bruce. This was also the nickname given to the mechanical shark model used in the filming of Jaws (Spielberg named it after his lawyer).

I've only just discovered this piece of trivia and felt like telling someone.

Perhaps the best Pixar reference ever. Glad you discovered this. :-)

I believe I was the only person in my theater who LOLed at his name.

He never even got my joke in the Misbegotten Movies thread and he's been on here less and less anyway.  I guess we'll all go through Frink detox.

Old job: lots of free time, terrible environment

New job: highly restricted internet access, hopefully much better environment

Where are your priorities?  You think that a good work environment is more important than spending time with a bunch of folks you've never met?  Pfft!
