I would like tractability to original manufacturer, as well as any claims for compliance with various safety and production quality standards. Pretty much supplier transparency.

For example - I wouldn't buy speakers from some random reseller. I'd buy 'em from the original manufacturer, or the handful of "known" resellers that we all know like the big box stores.

- englishmaninnyc 7y agoIs there any benefit for Amazon to implement that? :(

- bdcravens 7y agoSounds like a great browser extension: identify, with a % of confidence, if the product is available from an Alibaba wholesaler.
