Amazon has discontinued customer service in any meaningful sense. Its AI bot Rufus gives you a number 18003009009 which doesn't connect. Its live chat doesn't understand even the basics. Amazon Help on X I suspect is also rub by AI bots. RIP @amazon customer service.

It's past midnight. Wonder what Dr Ambedkar would think about loudspeaker laws and decibel level restrictions being flouted in his name. Add to this the firecracker noise. Outside Amrapali Building, Kolivery Village, Kalina. @VakolaPS
