Icecream Thursday afternoon

    This deal isn't happening guys. Here's the quote from the The Age:

    The when-is-Amazon-launching plot thickens! Despite reports that free ice cream will be handed out at Southern Cross Station today to celebrate the launch, we've just heard from Matthew Howe General Manager - Southern Cross Station, who says that's not true.

    "A quick note on the apparent Amazon Launch today at Southern Cross Station, we don't have anything at all booked for today so it seems a little hype. Given it will be 33 degrees this afternoon an ice cream truck would be more then welcomed," he tells Melbourne Express.

    Sigh.

  • The full product range hasn’t appeared for me - I thought it was supposed to be 2pm today? I suppose it’s tomorrow…

    In retrospect the icream stand story made little sense, I yet to see the use of third party commercial enterprises to distribute promotional products. Icream stands are solo operations whereas free icream for promotion is marketing that needs multiple people with marketing skillet

    So when is Amazon going to launch anyway?

    • I thought it was today… Maybe we have to wait for USA time to tick over to today so they can update Australia Amazon site to be active? :)

      • Yep. Maybe 2PM today, considering the difference between US Eastern time and Aus Eastern time is 14 hours.

      • I can Gerry's deep sign of relief… for the moment

        • nah, keep him on the edge

      Wish they would just launch already. I was so excited for yesterday and now it just feels a bit stale? Amazon, get on with it!

      • Really surprising that they haven´t launched already. By the time they come, most buyers will be satisfied already I suppose.

      I doubt it would be this week. I have access to Amazon Australia's seller Central and have been writing listings. It's full of bugs and certainly not ready.

  • That's right. The listings atm are a shit pool.
