IIRC, Birkenstock has evidence Amazon used the counterfeiters to force them to bring all (even new/brick & mortar only) Birkenstocks to Amazon. "Yes, we can solve your counterfeit problem, if you stop having special editions outside of Amazon".
Which puts the "they can't control" part in doubt :)
- jhall1468 8y agoFirst of all there's no "evidence" of anything, it's a claim Birkenstock is making. And the actual claim (by the CEO of Birkenstock) had nothing to do with counterfeiters, it was that Amazon was attempting to attract legitimate retailers that sell Birkenstocks to sell them on Amazon. Then the Birkenstock CEO threatened to sue Amazon for doing so, saying that Amazon was knowingly violating their policy, despite the fact that you can't win lawsuit for a company that you have no legal agreement with, so that threat is empty BS.
