This crap has sent me back to physical stores. If they have it in stock, I don’t have to wait for it to ship, I just drive there and pick it up. Same with returns too, and exchanges. Same day.
Plus, I can trust that the company itself has probably looked at and tested the products, and has a real product and not a fake. I doubt I’m the only one going back to brick and mortar as well.
Maybe it’s just due to what I’m buying online but if I can’t find it for sale on the manufacturer’s website I often can get it from a ‘smaller’ retailer or the webpage for a big box store like Best Buy or REI.
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.
