Amazing thread attempting to create a narrative with 40k upkongs and just 900 comments, so you know it's legit.
Comments are mostly as expected: Yeah, but Amazon is cheaper, ships faster, and has ez returns.
Note: Amazon doesn't make much on it's retail ops anymore, so they probably dgaf if people shop there or not.
Notable zero-pointers
2 weeks later no package arrives, no answer from support, regret not using reliable Beszos
Amazon is Amazon for a reason
Β
Yeah but usually there products are marked up 25% compared to the Amazon listing so bezos gets my moneyπ€·.

The Pivot attempt and rebuttal
The main difference is Amazon offers free shipping and free hassle free returns. Other retailers charge you to return products you order from them and usually charge you shipping to get them
fyi hassle free returns = products go directly in the garbage (cheaper than sorting through the products) and Amazon bakes the cost into higher prices for everyone due to the high volume of returned items
FYI the exact same thing happens when you return it to the manufacturer.
The only difference is that it's substantially easier to return a product to Amazon vs most manufacturers.

lol, I'm building a server rack, bought some rails and mounting hardware, but the rails came with their own hardware.
like 4 clicks and I was able to return, and the return location is a whole foods so I got a sandwich for 50% off and some cheese.
