Amazon suffers huge Prime Day sales plunge as families hang onto cash amid recession fears rather than purchase Chinese-made crap for $1 less than it usually costs. [Fixed it.]

95% of the amazon listed items are garbage.

I’ve discovered over time ...

Reading reviews, the five-star reviews are almost 100% good and posted within the last few weeks / month.

the one-star reviews span more like the last year or two. Bad reviews showing the products have failed badly.

Another big discovery in the one-star reviews are how many manufacturers deny warranty claims if you bought it on amazon !!

Another amazon failure is a shopper’s ability to find out WHERE IS THE ITEM MADE ? Where do the ingredients come from ? Much is hidden online from amazon.

I’m sue that somehow AMZ will survive.

I didn’t buy a single thing on Prime day, but usually buy something just about every day, have a few things on autoship. Been at AMZ since Jeff was selling books out of his garage.

Amazon isn’t the only place selling Chinese crap. Every damn store is, including some Mom and Pop stores.

Mostly because we got out of the business of making things in America a long time ago. We are now paying the price.

We have pieces and parts still made in China and sent here to assemble in warehouses. Then people stamp a “made in America” sticker on it.

I don’t like Bezos but Amazon is a great concept for many.

Yes my CPAP machine specialist told me that you can buy CPAP masks on Amazon. They feature the names like Resvent, but are total Chinese made copies.

“Independent analysts told DailyMail.com that the weak Day 1 report may reflect a deeper issue: Americans’ shaky confidence in the economy”

In other news.....the week of July 4th air travel highest in history, 18.5 million Travellers. Those traveling over 50 miles for the same week a record high of nearly 73 million.

Thank goodness flights and gas were given away for next to nothing so people with shaky confidence in the economy could enjoy their 4th.

Rat shills writing this drivel.
