This crap has sent me back to physical stores. If they have it in stock, I don’t have to wait for it to ship, I just drive there and pick it up. Same with returns too, and exchanges. Same day.
Plus, I can trust that the company itself has probably looked at and tested the products, and has a real product and not a fake. I doubt I’m the only one going back to brick and mortar as well.
It’s even worse when you go to the manufacturer’s website, order it directly there, and then have it delivered using Amazon fulfillment still despite trying to avoid it.
Maybe it’s just due to what I’m buying online but if I can’t find it for sale on the manufacturer’s website I often can get it from a ‘smaller’ retailer or the webpage for a big box store like Best Buy or REI.
It’s depressing how often I try to buy from the manufacturer, and their shop is an Amazon store.
This is so annoying. Also if a seller is selling the same fake product, it will get binned with the official retailers :) so it’s just pot luck.
