Amazon definitely knows how to treat her customers. I'm glad I give them my business.

Fucking hypocrite.

That's true since most people with anything intelligent to say lurk, but I've made up my mind. I have a conscious, but this isn't returning a purse to an old lady. Amazon is a large corporation, and I don't think it's going to hurt them.

Some people try to take advantage of the system, but I didn't. I got lucky, and I didn't even expect the books to come. I'm going to either give them away to people who deserve them, or sell them.

Especially when it was a error either on their part, or UPS. I have no idea which, but it was an error on their part.

Thanks for the advice though.

You're rationalizing so you don't feel like you're doing anything "bad" but you are. At least man up and admit it's stealing instead of dancing around it and blaming them for being a large company.

Your ethics of good and bad is only based upon the wealth of the person you're taking it from. If they're poor, it's bad. If they're rich, it's ok!

If they had screwed you, I wouldn't be writing this, but they treated you well.

Thanks for the moral lesson Immanuel Kant.

I know it's stealing, and I never said what I was doing was correct in terms of ethical code.

It's true I feel no pity for Amazon since it's a large company, and stealing from the doesn't really bother me that much.

I was ORIGINALLY going to call Amazon, and explain. They would of probably been grateful, and sent a return package to get the books back. They might even let me keep them, or take the books back, and offer me a discount on free merchandise on books/etc.. on Amazon.

HOWEVER, it was a mistake in their part. The guaranteed shipping, and delivery date was 2 days before I made that blog complaining about not receiving my package. Either UPS, or Amazon had to fix the situation. Amazon happen to take the initiative.

They only treated me well to appease me to still become a loyal customer. It had nothing to with morality, but more to do about getting more from my wallet. Which actually did happened, so they are smart. It's a business, and it doesn't want to make itself look bad. Especially when itself was the vendor.

You make it sound like I wanted this to happened, but I didn't. I would of rather had my package at the time I would get it. I have morals, but this time I'll bend them.

I'd hate to be your son. You're probably going to yell at your kids when they take extra ketchup packets from McDonald's, and call them thief's.

Chill the fuck out.

Stealing is stealing, they did what's right on their part and you're not doing yours.
