I am trying to buy a new Nintendo Switch, but it seems impossible. Search results are polluted by refurbished products that you only realize are refurbished once you look at the details. This happens for me even after selecting "new" specifically.

One explanation is this is the standard rollout of Amazon. First they undercut all the local options, and then once the population embraces them they flip the switch. Amazon has always been about cash flow over profits. So they don’t really need to make money if that’s not yet one of the goals.

I told them, and they said they'd refund it, don't need to send it back, and they'd even add $15 credit.
The refund never arrived so a few weeks later I got in touch again and they said I need to send it back if I want a refund. They told me the previous CSR had lied to improve ratings. I asked who I can complain to and they said nobody and closed the chat. I reopened it, restarted the refund, it was accepted and then 2 hours later I got an email saying that unless I sent them ID my refund would be rejected and that I can "no longer contact them" about this refund. I ignored that email, sent the book back and got the refund.

That level of service would have been totally unheard of for Amazon 5 years ago.
Amazon is my last resort nowadays, because some things are only sold there and on alibaba. If I only find a thing I want on amazon, I'll search again for the vendor name to see if they have a site of their own and if so buy it there instead It does help me buy less stuff because the process is so annoying nowadays
