I just have to put in my 2 cents here. Back in November I ordered an item from Amazon. Later that day my wife placed another order (we share the account). The next day I realized I had ordered the wrong size and contacted Amazon. They issued a return label and I re-ordered the correct item. When the first packaged arrived I just stuck the label on the box and shipped it back.
Here’s the cool part, unknown to me the order my wife placed was in that same box. Without any prompting when Amazon received the package they immediately issued a credit for both orders.
We have had several positive transactions with their customer service dept and to date no bad ones. I'm sure at some point, people being people, the train will go off the track but, it will be an outlier.
Amazon is so huge they don’t need to stoop to screwing small customers over for nickels and dimes. Their profits are based on volume and the fastest way to kill that volume is to get a bad reputation.

looking for a XQD reader; the Lexar seems to be unavailable; there is a generic on Amazon, and, at a much higher cost, the Sony; anyone use this generic one

I'm using the Sony with my laptop and the Lexar with my desktop so I don't have experience with the AMALINK, but I would be very concerned about the high percentage of 1 star reviews. B&H expects to have more Sony XQD readers in stock in 7 to 10 business days. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1242140-REG/sony_qda_sb1_j_xqd_usb_adapter.html
