Yes. All they need to do is 1) not become perforated by fake products and 2) have quick shipping.

- exclusiv 9y agoI think they may also need a strong third party marketplace. Amazon gets a lot of great inventory from third parties. Walmart could easily mine and source the best products in each category on Amazon though.
- NotSammyHagar 9y agoAmazon's most serious problem is that they have fake products, and tons of third party resellers that are questionable, but those sellers are also a strenght. If they can fix 3rd party sellers to be trustworthy and legimitate, maybe by kicking out bad or fake ones, they'll win everything.

After seeing what Walmart does to small town economies, and knowing that my taxes help compensate for them not paying a livable wage, and reading about their awful lobbying, and their abusive purchase practices, and on, and on, I want nothing to do with them. Being in a rural area, I have to go well out of my way to avoid physically shopping at Walmart; avoiding them online is easy. All of that said, the vast majority of consumers don't care about ethics in business, and even if they did, Walmart has their propaganda game down pretty well at this point. They'll do fine. Oh yeah, and screw Amazon too. My last two orders have been Chinese knock-offs of the products I actually ordered. You know they're in the shitter when you need to reference a third-party website [1] to help avoid forgeries. [1] http://fakespot.com/ http://fakespot.com/
