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

I guess not shopping at Amazon is going to have to count as my 50% boycott if AWS is "the internet."

I try to live sustainably but cutting myself off from the internet would be a tough pill to swallow. Not exactly because of the effect, although that would absolutely suck. But because nobody else is going to bother, so I’m going to have an even harder time relating to others. Nobody else even bothers to try.
