Amazon is eating itself alive. The general population may not have figured it out yet but high-users (Prime members) definitely see the problems and most importantly DO. NOT. TRUST. AMAZON. ANYMORE.
The brand is halfway down the toilet in terms of online retail and I do not think they can turn it around in time. Their whole strategy is based on speed and they've found garbage third party sellers a speed advantage. They are not competing on quality at all. They are not offering a quality experience, they are not selling quality, it is not in their product plan.
So if you are shopping for quality experience or quality product you do not shop on Amazon. It is only a matter of time I think before this awareness hits critical mass.
The only thing keeping me on Prime is my wife, because she really likes that 2-day delivery and a few shows on Prime Video. Since Amazon recently started putting ads on their videos, and because it's harder and harder to sift through the crap.
Unless Amazon does something big, I'll try making the case again to my wife to leave them. She's been ordering more and more from other retailers, so it shouldn't be a hard case to make.
