And I must be one of the few folks on the planet who does not have an account at Amazon all because you cannot purchase over the phone nor do they accept personal checks or money orders.
Other than the suggestions about the font color and size, please realize that Amazon is, until recently, a soley internet based company, so no, they aren't going to take check/money orders. The do have 1 brick and morter book store in NYC I think. This is modern times and take only modern forms of secure payments. Money orders are easiy stolen and are basically cash, and then there is the same issue with checks. Digital forms of payments are far more secure, as long as your connection is secure with a solid password on a private network, not public wifi. The social security administration, and most employers, only do direct deposit because it is so much more secure than checks. If you have concerns with using your debit card or CC, then get a pre-paid card and use that. You should consider it, especially if you live in a rural area like I do. Which leads me to my complaint.....
Today my Amazon order was delivered by UPS to the wrong city. It was supposed to be UPS Surepost (hate that), but the tracking said, "We'll be in your area today and will deliver your package instead of the post office." I get that text and expect it when I get home....WRONG. After calling Amazon, who has refunded all of my money, I called UPS. They said that it is UPS Surepost, so USPS will deliver it. I read them the tracking, which they said was a mistake and my local post office they delivered it to will deliver it.....but that one-red light town, does not deliver to my house and can't because it is out of their area. I explained to UPS that this was eith the post office or the local school because the town doesn't have any other place that has a front desk. The delivery message said left at front desk and signed by Joe. So UPS called me back and said that it would be transfered to my post office to be delivered. It will be a few more days. This isn't Amazon's fault, but UPS. UPS said that the vendor picks the delivery method. I told her they didn't choose the city UPS delivered it to because they messed up PERIOD. I asked her to find out why the error occured, why I was texted that it would be delivered directly to me, but was, and to learn from the mistake. I also informed her that their UPS Surepost method was very unreliable and needed much improvement.
How did you all know I would come home to this problem!
