Put another way, very little in all of this accounts for consumer needs/wants/experience. Force me to use pantry or buy larger quantities at higher unit prices?

Put another way, very little in all of this accounts for consumer needs/wants/experience. Force me to use pantry or buy larger quantities at higher unit prices? Nah. I’ll just use target’s drive up and have it in the quantity I want in two hours or less. At the same time, as Amazon slips in service and shipping times, other smaller online retailers are getting much faster and cleaner experiences that also avoid the numerous fake reviews.
Amazon seems to be acting as if they have a stronger position with a more loyal or locked in customers than they do - and I’m happy to start looking at other options.
- Nasrudith 8y agoYeah they seem to have undergone a growth to margins shift a bit a while ago since they went from little profit to billions. I am a bit disappointed but I am glad at the implications of a healthy market being vindicated - essentially that online retail isn't a "pump and dump retail" exploitable monopoly because of the relative ease of undercutting.
