Title: Amazon and EEVblog - Making Sure
Post by: SgtRock on February 15, 2012, 02:02:30 am
Greetings EEVBees:

--I finally placed that promised order for Popcorn and Salt, with Amazon.com, making sure to use the EEVblog, Amazon window. I saved a lot of money, as you can see, and hopefully they will remember to credit the EEVblog account.

--I posted the details here (personal information redacted), so that after a month or two, Dave Jones can check and make sure the system is working as it should. I have a friend who has a major website, who had some problems, with a different major supplier's (Not Amazon) click through commissions. All good now, but it never hurts to check. As my uncle Ronny used to say "Trust, but verify."

--If anyone else would like to do the same, please feel free. Admin can delete the thread when it becomes superfluous.

I recall Dave ranting about some issue with Amazon not allowing wire transfers of commission to non-US bank accounts...something to do with Amazon sending international checks and how much of a pain in the ass it was to cash it.

Yeah, it's a pain, costs money, and takes a month or two to clear, so I upped the limit to the max so they only send a cheque when it reaches that limit.

But rest assured that I do get it!

Dave.

Yep, I can see your items in my account, thanks!
BTW, some people do order the weirdest stuff  ;D, but luckily for all concerned I can't see who ordered what.
