I must admit to being shocked by this article. I buy a lot of things from Amazon but I think I'll have to have a rethink.

    This is appalling

    That is disgusting behaviour- if I had known this earlier I would not have bought anything from them.

    This is quite unbelievable. I rarely buy from Amazon - this is another reason not to do so.

    Nothing surprised me about that company. Sadly it is all perfectly legal - the regulations state you have to have 24 hours uninterrupted rest in each 7 day period, which unless they finish work after 6.30 pm on a Friday, or start before 5am on Monday they are getting.
