I saw through the Amazon Prime scam about four years ago and canceled my membership. Counterfeit products, obviously returned/resold products, and failure to meet delivery date promises. And prices steadily rising.

I just go to Walmart now. And Walmart is no choir boy either but at least I can see what I'm buying.

A product being on a shelf at a Walmart is a better indicator of quality then anything you could post on an Amazon listing.

  • Funny, it's the opposite to me.

    A product on the shelf, I don't have the slightest idea if it'll break in a month or have a feature that doesn't work right.

    When I start browsing Amazon reviews, I feel vastly more confident I know what I'm buying.

    Only exception is clothing, since it's next to impossible to judge fit and texture and often even color online.

      I hate to break it to you, but a large majority of reviews are fake.
