I buy quite a bit from Amazon, from books to foods. Love having items delivered to my house. They are the worlds largest emporium I guess it can be said.

I’d probably say is 50/50

Amazon is convenient, cheap (most of the times) and wide selections.

But still like walking around shops looking at chit yanno?

i only bought 1 thing from Amazon( fitbit watch bands) because if you don't support stores and human cashiers they will eliminate them.

Only thing I might buy from a site like amazon is electronics if it's significantly cheaper. Last time I bought something there was over a year ago.

Not to mention, amazon's quality control does not exist.

The fact that WALMART has INFINITELY better quality control is kind of insane.

lmao 99 percent of chit on there is china made with weird names like Lifestylecloud4u or koepzyanfusho

Also the reviews are fukked, if you have multiple choice products, the ONE page has reviews all mixed together

On my last 4-5 Prime orders, the chit was delayed, in one case by almost a week

Amazon at least has decent return policies when things aren’t what you expected, though Walmart does too

yeah, no thanks JEFF SEID.

I used to buy bicycle parts off amazon, but nowadays there's LEGIT bike retailers online that do the same 1-2 day shipping, and you get a real product that isn't bootlegged from chithole CHYNA.

Use it as last option if stores don’t have it and independent websites don’t have it.

Imagine being a fanboy of the worst example of global corporate exploitation of local communities.

Places like Amazon where the ceos get to siphon the labor of hundreds of thousands of employees instead of it being hundreds of smaller companies with better spread of responsibilities and power and wealth are the worst thing to come from capitalism.

At a certain point these megacorps should be shouldering all the business tax burdens to allow small businesses a chance instead of squeezing them out while paying no taxes due to the expansion costs of their business.

You all sign up for this and willingly participate because it’s easy and saves you a few bucks on any given day.

My perspective in regards to supporting megacorps: If they are still producing value and quality, then I will continue to support them.

If you think I didn't notice when it took 5 weeks to receive knock-off sunglasses, then you can fuk right off.

That's how I do it now also, I don't mind waiting for a couple days shipping and I don't need to pay for Prime, for basically the same shipping times. I buy USA made any time I can.

i prefer to touch and test products, weight, materials, construction, and real people need jobs to help real customers.

I will give you an example( yesterday), i called a major Canadian bodybuilding supplement company(mt) and instead of reaching an operator to direct my call to the correct department, they asked that we leave a message and "pray" for a callback.
I needed a person and had several scientific questions, but no one answers calls and questions?

It got to the point that I knew it would be something chit-tier, and possibly so far off in terms of a knock-off that I just gave up on Amazon altogether. This happened within the last 2-3 years.

Yeah but if you're a long time Amazon pleb they will suck your dick with costumer service.

In the last 2 months I've gotten about 350 dollars worth of merchandise for free simply because of shipping fuk ups that actually didn't bother me at all. Two days ago I got a 150 dollar mouse for free because i contacted customer service and said to cancel it since it wouldn't arrive on time. They just told me to keep it and gave me a refund. I contact them any time something doesn't arrive on time and get either a partial or full refund lol


Theres alot of grimey chit on Amazon but unless you're a total retard you should know what's legit and what's not easily.

I don't buy anything from Amazon. Most of it is just fake knockoff stuff with fake reviews so I don't even bother.
