How is Walmart for grow lights and tents and quality Chinese condiments?
They actually have all that shit....Probably the same Chinese sellers!

And you can a still buy on Amazon without membership....At least i think you can.

Returns and low quality are my biggest complaints....Or is it counterfeit items....Hmmmm, take your pick, they suck at all these things.

I did get a great deal on a pair of Skechers last month.IF they are even Skechers....They are more likely Sketchy'rs

Walmart is 20 miles away. I don't like going to buy something I need and settling for whatever is on hand where I drove to. And having to take another trip to return stuff. And delivery trucks on the road instead of me is all kinds of winning. I didn't seriously own a car until I was 35, I think they are annoying and burdensome to own. It's taken me 20 years to put 115k miles on mine and I don't live near much. My phone puts a global marketplace at my fingertips

I just drove more than 20 miles for 2 Amazon returns...They insist you take them to a UPS store, which is intentional to make it a hassle....The first UPS store i went to was closed for remodeling, and the 2nd one which was over 10 miles away (and next to a WalMart) was so packed i had to drive around the lot for 5 minutes til someone left, then go and wait in line behind at least 10 people. Come on, they could have UPS pick it up while they are here delivering anyways....They use to do that.

20 minute ride to WalMart for me as well. BUT they deliver too, or there's WalMart.com which is as big as Amazon, I dare say.

I have had multiple counterfeit items from Amazon.

Not saying Walmart is better, but it's just as good these days, and returns are actually easier at Walmart. I'll still buy from Amazon I'm sure, but I won't be giving them $139 a year for the pleasure.

I always compare prices between the 2 stores and lately Walmart has been doing better overall. I think Amazon has gone way downhill lately, and with all their layoffs it'll get worse.

So sick of all these companies that do this....They kill it at first, then change their service after they become popular. Wyze is a prime example, or DJI Drones, or Amazon!!

:cuss:Greedy bastards I say!!

What about UPS drop off points? I found out recently that depending on what reason you select for your return you might not get a drop off point to populate for your return option. You need to never select a reason being your fault or it won’t give you the option for a UPS drop off point. Select something like too big, not as described. When you get the ups drop off point select it and email the label to yourself . Try keeping some extra boxes or bags for returns. Sharpie out any labels on the box and then print and tape your new return label . If you don’t have a printer the UPS drop location should be able to print it out for you. I only learned this after doing some investigation and phone calls because I thought I also had to drive an hour to the closest actual UPS store. Not the case .

Yeah that would probably work....I don't normally do a lot of returns, but they do make it difficult.

They must be in cahoots with UPS!!

I'm just not giving them $139 a a year any more. 2 day deliveries often turn into 5-6 day any more, and just so much junk these days.

OMG, I bought a sport coat....One of my returns. It was like a CHEAP canvas material stuffed into a small bag wrinkled to the max. Seriously?

Read the reviews and start with the one star reviews. Check out the photos and videos people post. Anyway, that’s what I do and it steers me in the right direction.
that sucks about your sports coat. Lol. Kinda funny since it was you and not me. But hell, the fucking nerve. I sure have had my share of disappointment oMG purchases but nailed it the other day with a quality long sleeved athletic dress that fit me like it was a custom fit. The long sleeved with hand holes in the exact perfect placement. It was like a bloody miracle.

That’s terrifying. Where were they hiding? I don’t understand. That’s heroic of you to stay behind as the bait so that your wife wasn’t targeted as much . And grandpa. I am so sorry. That’s a horrible way to go. Again, sorry for your loss. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
