Amazon has become a dumpster fire of scammers, fakes, resellers, and plain trash. It is by now frankly the worst online shopping experience available. Pretty much every other store online is better organized, better curated, and more trustworthy. (In my opinion and experience).
The truly sad thing about this is that Amazon used to be genuinely great! But ever since it became mostly a marketplace, and no longer primarily a store, things have gone downhill. Now it's no better than eBay.
I try to avoid it wherever humanly possible, i.e. for everything but Chinatech or when I require one-day shipping.
- kennend3 4y agoI bought something on Amazon because i wanted 2 day shipping and didn't want to to the local store to get it. ORDER PLACED November 24, 2022 Arriving 7 Dec - 8 Dec They were generous and updated the delivery date last night. It use to say Dec 9 to 12 when i checked yesterday. I've had this happen too many times as well. With this crappy delivery time I would have been better off just going to the store which had it in stock and the same price. They also charged me $20 for "return shipping" because when i had this item in my cart it was "removed" as it was no longer available from the seller i selected. I mistakenly added a similar looking, same priced item and needed to return it. I was unaware that amazon no longer does "free returns"? I gave up on amazon long ago. If i want Chinese products i'd rather just order from aliexpress directly. Deciding to give amazon another shot cost me $20 and 2 weeks waiting??
