I agree. It’s not just that things sold online often have bad quality or cut corner in some way that you can’t know until you get it. Some have straight up lies in their description - for example clothes sold as 100% organic cotton that actually have some blend of polyester mentioned on the label when you actually get it. Friendly return policies help, although it takes away your time to deal with it so you might as well just shop locally. But then there’s things that are literally hazardous to your health, like cookware that gives you lead poisoning on Amazon (https://www.king5.com/article/news/investigations/investigators/amazon-removes-afghan-pressure-cookers/281-b41a9a3f-dcdf-4bd8-b7f7-520254c8beeb https://www.king5.com/article/news/investigations/investigat...). There’s no consequence for these large online retailers for any of this, seemingly.
