I guess 150m people value their time more highly than you :)
- heavyset_go 7y agoIt takes more time out of my day to file for returns, package and ship my returns and try to figure out why my hardware failed due to poor quality Amazon branded products than it is to go with another retailer. Trying to ascertain whether or not reviews I see on Amazon are legit, or are even for the same product as the product they're listed under, are significant time wasters, too.
- dpark 7y agoAnd so you buy generics from AliExpress?
- heavyset_go 7y agoI'm not sure what you mean by generics. There are a lot of white label products on Amazon that use the same stock pictures as the manufacturers do on AliExpress. It's often just cheaper to order it from the manufacturer instead of through a middleman. Branded products, that aren't just white label products, I try to buy directly from the manufacturer. For example, I buy my Apple replacement chargers directly from Apple.
- dpark 7y agoI find it strange that you complain about the quality of Amazon branded products but then buy the same things from AliExpress.

- Supermancho 7y agoI think 150m are poor at managing money. You can get Prime for free at almost any time (I've gotten it for free EVERY time I've ordered from AMZ since Prime existed) and cancelled before getting charged.
- hyperbovine 7y agoI guess 150m people have more scruples than you.
- Supermancho 7y ago> I guess 150m people have more scruples than you. AMZ has hit the gym membership (which only affects the middle+ classes) sweet spot. Scruples have nothing to do with it. "One day you'll forget or get lazy" is not unscrupulous either.
