Happened to me when I saw a book on the US site, I wasn't able to see all reviews, but there was a button to sort-of "apply" to get approved for seeing all of them.

It took five days, then I got this email.

Interestingly, they're not doing this on the European site, you can still see all reviews there.

Lots of their electronics options are these really TEMU-tier garbage specs with half a mile of promotional material between the "Buy" button and the details/reviews.

You really need to know what you're trying to buy, how to use the filters to screen out the crap, and even then its a gamble. Amazing to feel the temptation to just go to Best Buy.

    Best Buy is great. They have this thing called a "store", which I guess is what they use to store all the products? Anyway, you can just drive there and they ship the product directly into your hands! It's crazy. I hope it catches on.

    Best Buy is great.

    Never thought I would ever read that. They were famous for their pushy staff. I absolutely hated going there. The last time I was in a Best Buy, Amazon was still a bookstore. I had a cart with $2000 worth of products that I couldn't buy at Staples, Office Max, or Target. The cashier pissed me off so badly with their persistant warranty upsell that I left everything at the register and walked out.
