"Amazon sucks, if you're ordering cheap Chinese junk from them, just use Ali Express instead", they said.

I just spent 30 minutes being unable to complete a checkout, getting stuck in a loop of "some of your discounts have expired". What discounts? I have no idea. Then it seems to have locked my account.

Amazon is *the worst* but they sure do excel at making it frictionless to give them money.
