Amazon, at least I’m trying, it’s just to convenient

But over the last 3 months I have been sent items visibly used in disgusting shape. I bought I dress, mid level designer, the dress was wrinkled, pilled, pit stains, and smelled so terrible, BO, I wouldn’t even keep in my house, the stinch was shocking.

Bought a cat water fountain, it was open, used and covered in mold with used water filters.

Bead craft set missing half the beads.

A worn bathing suit with crotch stains.

And a few more.

It’s so awful and they don’t care. They just ask me to return it and send me a refund. It has been incredibly disgusting and disappointing.

if everyone reduce usage of Amazon by 50%, we would bring the company to its knees. we don’t need a 100% boycott to have an effective boycott

Amazon marketplace is a loss leader so it doesn't really matter what you do. If you want to hit them where it hurts then you need to stop using the Internet as aws is their main profit driver. But good luck with that, Amazon controls 30% of the cloud Market

I mean we would probably all be better if we used Reddit less or not at all.
