31 Disappointed Shoppers Vent About How Amazon’s #PrimeDay Is An Epic Fail
By Jacob Geers
Popular online retailer Amazon.com spent the last month hyping their “Prime Day”, which was said to offer more deals than even Black Friday. These deals would only be available to “prime” members, and so Amazon encouraged everyone to sign up for membership before the big day. As it turns out, people are more than a little disappointed with the selection of products that are on sale. Read their feelings below!

To say @amazon #PrimeDay is disappointing would be an understatement. There's a difference in creative marketing and dishonesty.

#PrimeDay is a joke. Had an item in my cart that was going on sale at 10:00. By the time I got to checkout (10:01), item was sold out. #fail

@starsreminisce @amazon To say that #PrimeDay has been underwhelming would be a gross understatement.

Wow, @Amazon, you really know how to (the opposite of) wow me with #PrimeDay. Socks AND Krill Oil? pic.twitter.com/yTpwWYGidb

I hope @amazon has some burn cream coming up in a Lightening Deal today to handle all these tweets about #PrimeDay.

#PrimeDay summary: Joining the waitlist to save $2.30 on something you don't need.

#PrimeDay is like when grandma says "help yourself to the candy jar!" but it has nothing but raisins and sugar-free salt water taffy

In honor of #PrimeDay a #library near you will be lending books for FREE!
Fun fact: They do this on other days as well.

Been a #amazonprime member for years and #PrimeDay has actually made me want to cancel. @amazon trolled us all.

Bought two Roombas during #PrimeDay, and now I'm going to have them battle it out in my living room for my approval.

The best part of #PrimeDay is reading the tweets about how bad #PrimeDay is.

Here's the #PrimeDay spoiler: the good stuff will be gone before you get it; the rest will be multivitamins and compression shorts

#PrimeDay — not like Black Friday at all. I did not have turkey yesterday, and I don't need pencils, granny panties or baby wipes.

So what I'm getting out of this is that #PrimeDay is some sort of postmodern experiment to see if disappointment can be quantified.

To sum up #PrimeDay so far: people not happy about waking up at 5 a.m. for a giant shoehorn http://t.co/rcI02x4YEt
