This is so sad. I live off of Amazon brands, because they're so cheap, convenient, and relatively good quality. I've NEVER had a quality issue from them. Call me a corporate stooge if you want, but their mattresses, clothing, drugs, etc. have been a lifesaver.

I find that generally I go for Amazon brands whenever possible.

Honestly they are one of the few shorts I wear because it is so hard to find good cargo shorts for tall guys.

Paper Towels, TP, vitamins, ibuprofen, etc. Much of it is solid quality, does what I need, and far cheaper than the alternatives even local ones.

Looking at what is mentioned it is the staples like this that will be fine. The things that will be going away will be the fancier things or things like furniture.

https://2tall.com if you’re in the UK.

Or outside the UK, they ship globally.

That's a really cool brand.

Yeah, everything I ever bought through Goodthreads (or even the downmarket Amazon house brands) was really nice.

I mean, not nice nice, but fine for casual everyday wear. It was generally the most reliable way to shop for clothes on Amazon, IMO.

Second this on Goodthreads quality. There was a pricing error back in July of 2020. I got dress shirts and pants for $7 - $12. Incredible.

I bought their paper shredder and it shredded itself during the first use.

[loloquwowndueo]

Was it made of paper? :)

Amazon trash bags are great.

Formerly branded Solomio. Now branded Amazon Basics.

I tried Amazon pants to see what they were like. You get what you pay for. Avoid.

[esafak]

Solimo. Solomio sounds like an ice cream brand.

I bought their bluetooth speaker that turns itself off when you haven't sent music through it for five minutes, and that you have to get up to turn back on.

edit: The physical quality seemed fine, but it's obvious that they never tested it or even thought about it much.

Nothing to do with Amazon but this has become endemic in tech in recent years and it grinds my gears. The amount of websites and services and remote control sessions that sign out or lock while I’m using them, because I’m not using them fast enough, it’s infuriating.

Yes I leave stuff open for a couple of hours while troubleshooting, not every problem is solved in five minutes and one device! No bank, you aren’t increasing security, I’m not in a library or a cafe. Especially infuriating if it happens while I'm waiting for the thing to check/update something and it signs me out because I'm not doing anything!

This happens all the time and should be seen an accessibility issue. Some people don't have the dexterity to keep the page from timing out while they, say, fetch their card out of their wallet, or type in their address and phone number.

[throwbadubadu]

Hm, my more brandy JBL one does the same, maybe it is 10 minutes, but I find it reasonable. I have a long set or playlists or choose something new when it gets silent, and otherwise I enjoy the luxury that I can just turn off the sender and know the battery won't be wasted for long?

[cjbgkagh]

I think that may be due to European energy savings regulation.

[wenc]

Sounds like they’re removing unsuccessful white labels. I haven’t heard of most of these brands.

Basics and Essentials will still be there.

[Drblessing]

Phew!
