What do you mean by "This is not true"?
Amazon routinely destroy returned items, see the investigation for yourself: https://www.itv.com/news/2021-06-21/amazon-destroying-millions-of-items-of-unsold-stock-in-one-of-its-uk-warehouses-every-year-itv-news-investigation-finds https://www.itv.com/news/2021-06-21/amazon-destroying-millio...
> Undercover filming from inside Amazon's Dunfermline warehouse reveals the sheer scale of the waste: Smart TVs, laptops, drones, hairdryers, top of the range headphones, computer drives, books galore, thousands of sealed face masks – all sorted into boxes marked “destroy”.
And you think they'll keep a pair of shoddy trousers? I'm sorry to disappoint you but that's unlikely...
- crazygringo 2y agoI mean it is not true. And I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the very article you linked to clearly states it has nothing to do with returns. Rather: > Many vendors choose to house their products in Amazon’s vast warehouses. But the longer the goods remain unsold, the more a company is charged to store them. It is eventually cheaper to dispose of the goods, especially stock from overseas, than to continue storing the stock. It is about vendors who remove their merchandise from stock because nobody will buy it. And what are you talking about "shoddy trousers"? It's a pair of Levi's. Why wouldn't they resell them? They already sell them in the first place. It's profit. Amazon isn't exactly in the business of not making profit.
