That said, I haven't bought much either and switched to vendors that somewhat vouch for their products like Best Buy, Walmart, Monoprice, etc
- sykhic 8y agoI’ve started using Walmart.com for just this reason. I no longer trust Amazon. Trust is a hard thing to acquire once it’s lost. After an Amazon Basics usb cable stopped working after a few weeks I don’t even trust Amazon's own products.
- mmt 8y agoIn what way is that a problem, though, in the context of what I desribed? I'm not merely counting 1-star reviews but actually reading them for content. IOW, what content would a competing vendor be leaving in a review that would confound my research?
