I started shopping at Walmart just because I can sort by seller and I know what kind of cheap garbage I’m getting if I buy from them. It drives me nuts that they all have these amazonesque garbage online stores full of alphabet soup brand names now but at least places like Walmart and Target still let you buy things from themselves.
Comment on Amazon pinches sellers: Use our costly logistics services or pay extra fee

I stopped using Amazon years ago (sometime before 2016). I’d rather buy directly from manufacturers in most cases. Waiting an extra day for shipping isn’t a big deal for me.

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.

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.
