I am, for an order placed on Jan 1. I called them yesterday and requested a call-back (vs. waiting on hold), but they never did. So I sent an email to customer service about this today, explaining what happened and requesting that my order be cancelled. I received an auto-reply that said "We do our best to respond to all emails within one business day," but of course I'm not counting on that. The good part, if indeed there is one, is that my credit card hasn't been charged yet, either.

I sent a "reminder" email after two business days. They finally replied that evening, and did cancel the order.

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
