It’s not your imagination: Shopping on Amazon has gotten worse - Everything on Amazon is becoming an ad

I saw a neighbor who stocked product sold on Amazon they bought on clearance (outdated) in his garage, it was so gross.

They wonder why we don’t use Alexa to order, here’s why, I bought something for $8 I go to reorder it on Alexa and it says the price is $120, they are hoping you don’t hear or pay attention to Alexa when she says the price.

A case of water you can buy on the target website for 1.88 is 24.87 on Amazon. I don’t have all day to price check every single tiny purchase but since they let people charge $34 for a $2 item, it’s buyer beware. I’ve completely stopped ordering from Amazon.

I made one exception last year on a space heater from one of those Chinese companies with all letter names and the fan was not screwed into place, and it fell off and caught fire.

And don’t even get me started on the clothes. Never ever buy clothes on Amazon. Looks like a nice cotton tshirt but You will get a cheap nylon T-shirt that would be embarrassing to wear and they charge top dollar for that crap. The reviews were fake. And it said on Amazon “made in North Carolina” but the package came from China 8 weeks later. Amazon has no problem with this.

I am no longer a prime member.

I’m happy using brand name stores like Best Buy, target, lowes, Walmart (you have to watch with them too they are starting to do what Amazon does), I can shop online and get what I need not to mention shipt delivery and target pickup same day. I have no reason to use Amazon anymore. Don’t care about overnight delivery, I’d rather wait an extra two or more days to get a name brand quality product.
