It's a toilet. I can't figure out how to trust any listing there. I stopped ordering from there not because I was protesting or anything, I was just sick of annoying Amazon support, who are nice people having a long day. I've had less suffering and better results buying things from random people on Craigslist.

I'm an Amazon nightmare. They see my account going from ordering every other day 25 years ago, often big ticket items, and barrelling into Prime when it happened, to dropping Prime and gradually reduced to ordering every other year. Or maybe I'm a rounding error. But I'd rather go to the store than order from Amazon.



Same here - I order like 1-2 times a quarter from them, but I used to order 1-2 times a week. Quit Prime too.

I still find stuff on there that I'm willing to gamble on, and it arrives very fast but it's usually small ticky tacky items (e.g. an adapter/mount for something on my bike etc).

There is a large population that's not us however, who simply want the cheapest thing that fits the bill and don't know about their FBA dishonesty.
