OKAY LISTEN.
Back in November, I pre-ordered 32GB DDR5 RAM for $100 because it was “Temporarily Unavailable.” Amazon said: “Pay now, we’ll ship it when it’s available.”
Cool. I slapped the buy button like it owed me money.
Then the price did what prices do when you even think about building a PC — it shot up to $500–$600. I assumed Amazon would cancel the order, send me an apology email, and maybe a coupon for $2 off cat food.
But no.
Amazon, in the year 2025, apparently woke up and chose customer service.
Yesterday: “Your order has shipped.”
Me: haha very funny Jeff
Today: THE RAM ARRIVES AT MY DOOR.
FOR.
ONE.
HUNDRED.
DOLLARS.
I don’t know who at Amazon hit “fulfill” on this order, but I just want to say: I love you, random Amazon employee. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Anyway, here’s my new RAM. I’m gonna install it before Amazon realizes they messed up and tries to un-ship it from my PC.
