Their quality control, or lack thereof, also extends into Prime Now. It is now a game when I get a Prime Now delivery: what did they replace without telling me, what products did they get wrong, and most critically: what did they overbill me for? It's now to a point I weigh everything coming in, and over half of the items are off weight, some egregiously so (0.2 oz of jalapeno, but billed for 1 pound; .5 pound of chi…
>>In a statement on its website, Amazon also said its employees “work hard every day to help ensure all products offered in our store are safe and authentic.” Bullshit.

I bought a product on Amazon this Christmas that was completely fake. It was "sold by Amazon" but didn't even have the same label as the brand I had ordered. I complained to Amazon and they just gave me a refund without requiring that I return the product (I ended up just throwing it out). I suspect that they knew the inventory was tainted but figured the cost of dealing with noisy customers like me is less than the…
I complain to Amazon that it's counterfeit, and need a refund despite it being 10 months later. I ship it back, get a refund less than purchase price. They charged me a restocking fee. They're now going to sell it used.
They know it's fake - they knowingly sell fake things.
I just use walmart.com now. I spent ~80k on Amazon over the last decade, and they will never get another penny from me, even if they fix this. My two brothers stopped using amazon too. And my wife. Walmart has most things Amazon does, as a first seller. Their 3rd party sellers are the same as amazon - just less of them. Because walmart actually investigates and kicks people off for selling fakes. Amazon literally knowingly sells fakes themselves. Prices are same or less. If I want aliexpress, I'll buy there. But I don't.

I just searched for an item and had no trouble selecting a "seller" filter for Amazon.com; on what basis are you making this claim?
I just searched for "toyota oil filter", "logitech mouse", and "play yard", and I never got an option on the left side to restrict the search results to a specific seller.
It very rarely shows up for me after a general search (from the search bar on the Amazon homepage), though-- for example, if I search for "T-shirt" from the homepage, I can't filter by seller, but, if I drill down to the "Men's Shirts" category in the left-hand bar on that search results page, I can filter those results by seller (and select "Amazon.com" to see things they claim they're selling themselves).
I'm thinking this will be one of the ways that Amazon can be "disrupted." If Walmart (for example) re-tooled their online platform such that they kept counterfeits out and rapidly identified bad actors, the trust in their platform could grow against the name recognition of Amazon. At that point Amazon would be stuck playing catch up and that makes it hard to innovate. Also, its possible a completely new brand could b…
I stopped shopping at Newegg quite some time ago because the explicit reason I was coming to them is not to buy from third-party sellers.

> It's now to a point I weigh everything coming in Instead of just not using the service? If it's not bad enough for you to stop then Amazon seems to be making a good business decision.
I've tried the other services (Instacart, local stores) but they are even _worse_.

Why are you buying food on Amazon? It’s kind of weird.
(Unfortunately.)

I think they should be disrupted with a decentralized solution where people buy and produce locally. None of this garbage sold en masse

In a few years, Alibaba will have a better reputation than Amazon.
Based on what? No name brands, just loads and loads of direct from factory crapware and knock offs in all shapes and sizes.

Not trying to be snarky, genuinely interested: what are the advantages of the superior movement?
The gears are manufactured to better tolerances. This means they make a lot less noise. A cheap movement can be heard across the room, a Seiko is silent. Because the parts fit better, there is less friction. Less of a load on the motor means the battery lasts much longer in a Seiko. They also keep time better.
