If you're even remotely worried about anything shady, you shouldn't even be on Amazon to begin with.
Yes and no. There are a lot of products that i once had bought at (semi)local stores that no longer exist.
So it is either Amazon or Temu or any other online shop like that.
I'm not saying that you can't find good stuff there. :)
I personally try to avoid it as much as possible due to them being unethical and they not caring about the environment at all.
PS. Happy cakeday!
Oh, thanks. I hadn't noticed.
Not to mention they’ve completely setup the infrastructure and legislature to perform IP theft at scale. Ref their Amazon Basics
It really is just Ali Express with better delivery times these days.
I cancelled Prime and just buy a lot less shit I don't need.
That sounds like a wise thing to do!
I learned it the hard way
Aw. :(
