Walmart has very similar results to Amazon, just not quite as much, and limiting results to Walmart.com helps a tiny bit more. So I don't agree there.
You're mostly right about Target, they pretty much only sell stuff that they carry or brand themselves, but the other side to it for Target is that often you can't find what you want there at all - they have a pretty limited selection, and in any case the stuff they brand themselves just costs more and looks a little nicer, but usually it's not actually quality.
- heavyset_go 7y agoWalmart partners with their suppliers because they have a direct liability for selling dangerous or counterfeit goods. Amazon's lawyers try their best to shift all liability from themselves to their suppliers. If I buy a product from Walmart that is faulty and injures me, liability falls on Walmart.
- Glyptodon 7y agoThey still sell tons of stuff from the infinite dictionary of random import brand names that nobody's ever heard of like "Amplim," "Kootion," "Ktaxon," "Yosoo," "Zimtown," "Zokop," etc.
- LoSboccacc 7y agoyeah but they test and QC it and take care of the certification required to sell it.
- criddell 7y agoWalmart.com is basically the same as Amazon though, isn't? I thought anybody could sell their stuff there.
- gshdg 7y agoAnd Target’s website is painfully short on information about each product. To the point that sometimes there isn’t even enough info to tell what version it is so you can look up more details elsewhere!
