Why tho. Their shipping is amazing. And they have pretty much anything you could want.
And you will have no recourse wheb the product you buy is (a) not what you thought you were getting, (b) going to break in a month or two or (c) set your house on fire if you leave it plugged in.
If you know exactly what you're looking for and you know the seller, Amazon can be alright. I just bought an album CD there from MusicMagpie who's set up shop on Amazon.
But if what you want is vague, be prepared to be bombarded with a bunch of Chinese sellers with weird brand names going through shittier couriers than Amazon themselves. It's getting worse than AliExpress at this point.
It's a catch 22 because if you already know the seller but are opting for their Amazon vendor e-commerce channel you're undercutting their business by taking Amazon's promo discount on shipping today and forcing the seller to make up the difference in vendor fees. Then when your favorite reasonable merchants that balance price and quality get squeezed out of business by cheap knockoffs competing on the same platform in 1-5 years you'll wonder why you can't find quality products of that type anymore except from niche boutique merchants who have to charge even more to ship quality to your door than they used to.
