I ordered a couple of items from Amazon UK last week for delivery in Dublin. I wanted one of one item and two of the other. Of course I inverted the selection, so I ended up with two of the wrong item. I decided to return it, because it really is no use to me, and went through the minimal Amazon return procedure, selected order by mistake and gave a brief description and got this reply…
I must say, since I first started using Amazon back in 1998 this is the sort of service I’ve experienced.
They are so rich its not worth returning things as they make millions per minute. A bit like Bill Gates stopping to pick up a 20 (enter any denomination of currency) cost him more to do so than his current business.
Sooo rich!
I do the same with 1 cent coins, also might hurt my back 
Indeed, but they had the same philosophy from the start. The cost of postage may have been more than the value of the article and then the restocking cost and admin on top. But there are many organisations that just couldn’t get their heads around that attitude.
I have plenty of Tapo items (including a hub) it all works very well.
I have heard of Tado but not Tapo.
We use both. All our heating in Ireland is managed by Tado and all our other stuff in Ireland and France is managed by Tapo. All through Alexa (Apple Home is rubbish IMO 
) Tapo is really TP-Link, so I’ve had a lot of their stuff over the years. Tado is good but cannot manage multiple homes. which is pretty poor, Tapo I really like.
I do the same with 2 and 5 cent ones too, mainly because I can’t distinguish between them. 
But I would bend my knees instead if I did. 
But I think bending over to pick things up is good for your back, as long as they’re not too heavy, which I don’t think such coins are.
Yes with low value items they often will say “don’t bother to send it back”.
I’ve always found their returns system to be pretty efficient on the whole. Of course some people order tons of stuff knowing they are going to return half of it (present company excepted of course) and you can get banned if Amazon decide you are taking the p*ss regarding free returns.
Funny thing is, not Amazon unusually for me, but a company called DD Electronics in Paris is badgering me to send back the internet decoder for UK radio and TV because they sense from my questions that I don’t like it. They are wrong, I don’t like certain aspects of it (which may with exploration turn out to be groundless) but they seem to have given up on me already.
Temu does not ask for items to be returned either - it’s a question of overall cost and profit. Sensible.
You can’t change the IP address of some of their WiFi cameras and they expect the IP range of your 2.4GHz WiFi network to be 192.168.0.XXX.
This is fine unless you have an Orange Livebox that comes as 192.168.1.XXX as default. Pretty to fix, but is a PITA if you have any wired devices on your LAN which need static IP addresses as you have to fix that manually.
When I first saw the title of this thread I thought we might be discussing a new Marvel movie. 
My eyes are such that I can’t see a 1 cent coin these days.
I can see them, just can’t tell the value though.
I think there’s a way of feeling them suitable for blind people.
Just checked the brown coins in my wallet, with my eyes open. The first one out I thought was a 1 centime, but on closer inspection it was in fact a 2. The one next to it was easy, because it was the same size. The only other was a 5, and I only knew that because it was larger than the 2 2s.
I suppose if I was blind I would get used to the feel, but otherwise I could tell nothing by running my fingers over them.
I never keep the small stuff. Waiting at the till while they scramble for three cents does my head in 
To be honest the 10s, 20s, and 50s also tee me off. Piles of junk in pockets and car drinks holders, etc, etc. That’s why I prefer to tap.
Many of the intermarché here have a machine you can toss your loose change into and get a ticket to use at the till. Don’t go to intermarché much, but I do save my change for just such occurences.
That’s a good idea.
