"Amazon shifted gears so that it now litters its storefront with pay-to-play advertisements. In addition to overcharging its customers, Amazon is degrading the services it provides them."
Amazon is literally aliexpress but with a more sophisticated UI.
Nothing but absolute shit chinese knock off products. No longer can you get the same kind of savings like you could in the past. You’re basically paying full retail now, plus prime or shipping.
Sellers even drop ship from AliExpress and similar sites. Basically every time the shipping is quoted longer than a week it’s probably drop shipped from one of the Chinese sites. They add $5-$10 to the price and take their cut without ever touching the product.
I canceled my prime membership and stopped using Amazon entirely after I ordered something that turned out to be drop shipped straight from Walmart. But online shopping in general is a nightmare these days.

Prime AND shipping half the time these days.
More than full retail most of the time! They’re not even bothering to compete with Walmart or Target anymore on the same products.
