    Amazon has essentially become a drop shipping front for AliExpress. You’re getting the exact same terrible, knockoff products, just marked up and stored in an Amazon warehouse so you get it in two days instead of two weeks. They’re both shitty, but at least with AliExpress you aren’t paying extra for the middleman to make a profit.

      I mean it completely depends on what you’re buying. Don’t blame Amazon that your $15 wireless earbuds with no brand name feels cheap and gets hot.

        I don’t blame Amazon for the products being shit. I blame Amazon for not doing anything about the fact the shit product has 3000 5 star reviews that are word for word on hundreds of different products.

      iirc drop shipping is where they also ship it from China too. so the person dropshipping doesn’t have to keep an inventory of things
