Buy environmentally-friendly products at Amazon
Amazon has added a “green” category to its list of products. You can search for electronics, home, grocery (including reusable bags), household, baby products, personal care and more. You can also “pick 3 green products you wish everyone had” and submit them to the site.
You’ll find a handy Amazon Go Green search button in the top left-hand column of this blog.
Bad day(s) at Netflix
Netflix is having shipping and distribution problems running over multiple days, CNBC Tech Check reports. When they checked with the company, they found the Netflix spokesman “candid, forthcoming and easily accessible; hallmarks of good damage control when a company is under the gun.”
At reporting time, engineers had not yet determined the problem and both the company and its customers were feeling the pain. Netflix has been the Number 1 rated web site for customer satisfaction, according to Nielsen Net Ratings and Foresee.
On their web site, Netflix says, “We’re sorry to report that we continue to experience issues with our shipping system, so some of you are not receiving DVDs in a timely manner and some of you have not received emails letting you know we got a DVD back from you.
We apologize and we’ll be automatically issuing credits to all of you whose shipments have been delayed. Our goal is to ship DVDs as soon as possible and to provide a personalized email update to you if your DVD shipment was delayed.”
Hopefully, they will be back on track soon.
