South Lake Union in Seattle is about to feel some pain.
I’ve figured out the problem of receiving “new” products that are used/RMed/refurbished..
I think the 3rd worlders that work in the warehouses are swapping the new products with the used so that they have the new products.
It’s happened to me several times.
(I am always able to receive a refund.. but it still happens)
I also contact them using the chat feature. The few times that I had attempted to speak to support, I had no idea what they were saying (red-dot Indians).
Let me add some confusing observations to that thought...
Amazon started buying substantial office space and office property in downtown Bellevue, WA, about five years ago.
They bought the former Expedia building, and then took over and completed a partially constructed building right across the street from Expedia, right next to Puget Sound Energy.
Both those buildings are still completely empty!
Amazon also owns about 5 acres of land that borders the north side of the Bellevue Downtown Transit Center. They did nothing with that land for several years. Six months ago, they suddenly tore down the old buildings and parking garage on that land, and they are doing new foundation work over the entire five acres.
Bottom Line - two blocks south of the Transit Center, Amazon owns two completely empty buildings. Directly north of the Transit Center, Amazon is preparing to build 5 more acres of new buildings.
Anyone have a credible theory about what Amazon is doing in downtown Bellevue?
