    At least 20% of my orders end up being fucked up anyway. It’s either counterfeit products an entirely wrong product with the UPC of what I ordered taped onto the box.

    I ordered a Spyder Color calibrator last year (about 200 bucks), and got an iPhone 4 screen protector with the barcide of a Spyder printed on the box.

    I ordered a laptop and it arrived gutted.

    Amazon died for me when they changed from a retailer to a drop-shipper.

      Similar experiences. I dropped Amazon at renewal in January after the ad announcement. The items I ordered went from two days to four days to several weeks to never existing and the products were more and more “fell off a truck” crappy knockoffs - the same reason I stopped using eBay in the 2000s.

      Bonus, like you, I find myself making next to no impulse purchases anymore since I can’t just fire up Amazon on a whim.
