I love the concept
of Amazon’s Subscribe And Save
service.
We sign up to buy
often used products
and they are sent to us
monthly.
We don’t have to think
about buying these items.
We set it up once
and can forget about it.
Except Amazon
rarely has the items
in stock.
50% of my monthly order
isn’t available
this month.
Last month, 30%
of my regular monthly order
wasn’t available.
Those unavailable products
were different
than the products
unavailable this month.
I have to rush to find
and buy alternatives to them.
And that’s d*mn irritating.
It is easier
and more reliable
to simply buy
multiples of the items
we need
once
and store them
in our homes.
Don’t offer a subscription service
of products/services
unless you can secure
their supply.
