72 for me in the last 6 months, zero complaints.
114 in the last 6 months. No issues to speak of.
I order a fair amount of business related stuff from them. My only issues are delivery problems. Deliveries are usually too late to receive at the office so everything has to go to my house.
I don't use them because of their fast delivery so if something shows up a day or so late I probably won't even notice. I also almost never use them for auto parts. That stuff comes from Rock Auto or a local shop.
I wonder if this isn't a regional problem. Possibly my regional warehouse is better managed than the one by Javelin.

I’ll doubt everything you receive comes from your local fc.

-Just today, I tried ordering two shocks for my Mazda. "8 left in stock, order soon" said the message on the item. No problem, I was only ordering two. I get to the checkout, and it says they are out of stock, and will ship with an estimated delivery date of 10/30 at the earliest. Huh? I cleared my cart (and browser cache) and tried again. Still "8 left in stock, order soon" but they are out of stock at checkout.
We ran into this at work. We would need to buy like 8 of a v belt. Says they are prime and ship tomorrow. Cool. Ad 1 to cart, no probs. Add more than 1, now it wont deliver for a week. We ended up having to do multiple transactions back to back to get them delivered 2 day. Buying more apparently made it source the stuff from a different warehouse. Yay.
But this saturday, like last saturday, i ordered some stuff i forgot to get. Order it saturday, its delivered on sunday. Sweet.

I'm with you except on the Tau, Imperial Guard for life.. Also what's wrong with eating pickled beats for a snack?
I started playing in 2nd edition in 95ish. Took a break in 12 and sold it all off. Just jumped back into 8th with Primaris, Aeldari, Tau, and Orks. Orkses are still da best.
Nice, I started at the beginning of third edition. I haven't played in over a year, I need to get back to assembling and painting but with just an hour a night for hobbies during the driving season most of the time goes to working on the cars.

My wife is waiting on a monitor that was due a week ago. Should finally arrive Monday.
Now tracking says Friday, and the thumbnail for the monitor has been changed to a wallet.
If a wallet shows up, I'm going to have a cow.
In reply to Mike :
Well, part of a cow anyway. But only if it's a leather wallet.

Last week my gf was craving these particular spicy pickles,
Congrats on the pregnancy!
Nope! Team Vasectomy.
Sorry to hear you're not the father!!
I had shared this with my wife, who is beyond getting pregnant, and she said, Well, you don't have to worry about that."
We had discussed vasectomy before the arrival of menopause. My reply, "Yeah, girlfriend."
My gf is from middle of nowhere Louisiana. Their taste in food is beyond the cravings of a pregnant woman. Pickled beats are a snack for her at work. Gross! 
Just quoting this to see how far we can push it.
Where abouts in Louisiana? Its a great food destination. Just gotta sometimes not ask where the meat came from..
I don't think you can get a bad meal in the whole state.
I lived there for a year and a half, and traveled up and down the river on tankers for years. If I ever go back, just shoot me.
Wait, pickled beets are awesome and not only a Louisiana thing, we had them growing up in the UK, and you can get them here in Mi, although making them is better as you can do it without adding sugar. Oh wait, you said pickled beats. They're new to me!
My wife is from Cebu. The weird stuff they eat is beyond description.

Pickled beets taste like graveyard dirt.
Now, put some peeled hard-boiled eggs in with the beets and wait until the eggs are nice and purple - those are a tasty treat.
But after you eat the eggs, throw the nasty beets out.
But they're TASTY graveyard dirt.
Thread reminds me, I bought a huge tankard of black pepper and garlic infused pickles, just so I could re-use the juice to make pickled eggs. And it's about time for that...
As a kid my dad had a garden and grew many things but he was most successful at beats. I really never want one ever again
Pickled beats would be like a second level of hell for me.
Oh and only here can I come in for the Amazon gossip and leave pondering pickled eggs and beats.

In reply to 1988RedT2 :
It involves a lot of swareing
My biggest complaint is about the reviews. I had meticulously reviewed every product I ever bought, even adding photos when applicable, because that was the power of Amazon in my opinion. I read and bought based on the reviews for products. Then one day, I get an email that says that I have been banned from reviewing and all of my reviews have been removed. The reason was for a "violation of policy". WTF? So I read their policies carefully and found that I was not in violation of anything at all. But here's the thing, there is nothing you can do about it. I wrote and called and kept after them for some time, but all you get is automated responses that your case has been reviewed and nothing will change. They will not tell you what the violation is, they wont prove that you violated anything, and they wont read or consider your defense.
I know, its not the US courts, its Amazon and they can do whatever they want. But to me, removing honest, forthright reviews for no reason means that they are steering buyers towards the products and sellers they want to promote. They even added "amazon recommended" to further push you towards the items they want you to buy. Add to that the flood of knock-off, cheap, sketchy crap (have you seen something that should be $10 listed for like $100? A clear scam, but its Amazon recommended) out there and it has taken the same dive that EBay took years ago.
My wife, who almost never reviews anything, was banned for reviewing a product she bought. She went to Amazon, found a product, and purchased it through the site. She liked it and added a review. The seller apparently started employing pay-for-review tactics, so everyone who ever legitimately bought anything from them in the past was banned and blocked from reviewing. FU Amazon!
Speaking of Ebay, I have bought more and more there because I can find honest sellers with fast shipping. Who'da thunk it?

I have sent messages to several sellers on Amazon who played the "I'm reviewing this because I got a free one / got paid" game. Told them I wouldn't buy because of the reviews.
I'm sure it made no difference, but I felt noble...
I got banned from reviewing as well. Went online to review some products I was pleased with, and found I was no longer allowed to post reviews.
Meanwhile it's common to find reviews for multiple products all lumped together, making them useless. Looking at a pair of headphones? Maybe this review for a USB cable will help you choose!
