It makes me think I’m the only person that’s never had an issue ordering things from Amazon! I have prime and sort by recommended and I’ve never had a bad experience. Is it only for particular types of items?
No, it’s everything. Can’t think of anything that wouldn’t count.
Our issues are sponsored results crowd out the first page, strange no name companies crowding out brand names, can’t sort by retailer, or any usefu sort or filter mechanism.
It’s all gamed to have you click on a sponsored result. If you buy from third party better check the condition, terms, and return policy. Oh and it might be fake or previously used.
That said, I still find it useful but only because like someone else said, every other “a to z “ company is worse. That said, Amazon is competitive at price point still but it isn’t where I go to find products organically. I find recommendations elsewhere then comparison shop. Walmart at least you can sort sold by Walmart, BB/Home Depot work fine as well. Amazon has its place but it’s not a good or enlightening experience.

If it stopped there it would be almost okay, but then the page for the brand might get you items comingled with counterfeits.
Yes, I'm surprised at the amount of negative feedback. I buy quite a bit of stuff from Amazon and have never had a bad experience so far (my account has been active since the days when Amazon sold only books, circa 1997).
Items delivered work as advertised. Reasonable delivery times (I live in Singapore). I buy from both Amazon SG and US stores.
Are there some sort of filter where US based Amazon customers get targetted with shoddy products and foreign customers less so? Genuinely curious.
It's not possible to filter out the marketplace. The marketplace is full of dropshippers with highly inconsistent delivery times. There are some things I just want to buy from Amazon directly.
Chinese fire-and-forget brands crowd out real brands. Fine if you e.g. just want cheap gloves, but a terrible experience if you want more than that.
