[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 99 points 11 months ago* (5 children) I cracked down on amazon, I highly recommend it permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 28 points 11 months ago (2 children) Me too. At least with Temu and Wish I know the majority of my money is going directly to some crook in China and not to Bezos. Cut out the extra middleman. Same low quality of goods, direct from the drop-shipper lying about them or perhaps even the factory counterfeiting them. It's a substantial improvement in supply chain honesty and legitimacy, you're left with no illusions about the products and all the reviews are fake, so it's deeply refreshing to not have to try to figure any of it out. It's always 100% consistent. You know exactly what to expect, with no worry you're accidentally going to overpay for something you think is genuine and receive a box full of rocks that's obviously been opened, stolen and returned, nah not on these sites. You'll get exactly what's pictured (not to scale necessarily, though). Way more reliable than Amazon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago The ideal answer is to !buyeuropean@feddit.uk and/or buy local. permalink fedilink source parent [–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago Just go to AliExpress instead of Temu / Wish.
