Walmart does free shipping on most orders over $35 (in some cases 2-day), no price inflation, no membership required. And as far as I know, they don't have Amazon's counterfeiting problems.
Some Walmart brand name items are made specifically for Walmart, in much the same way certain items are made specifically for Massdrop. In effect, they're genuine official counterfeits, not the fly by night kind.
- wlesieutre 9y agoI wouldn't call that a counterfeit, that's just cheaper generic brand products in the same vein as grocery stores have been doing for decades. If I know that I'm buying a "Great Value" branded product, that's fine. If I go on Amazon and spend $30 on an official Apple USB charger and get a fake one instead (still with an Apple logo though), then I've got a problem. The manufacturer of these are doing them at even lower quality/safety than the cheap brands like Anker, since they don't have to worry about damage to their own brand when it burns someone's house down. Amazon has a huge problem with fake products being sold as name brands. Inventory from different sellers gets comingled, so you can't even avoid it by buying from a particular store. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3133627/technology-law-regulation/apple-sues-amazon-supplier-over-fake-iphone-chargers.html https://www.computerworld.com/article/3133627/technology-law... https://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/20/birkenstock-quits-amazon-in-us-after-counterfeit-surge.html https://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/20/birkenstock-quits-amazon-in-...
