Thats sad.
I try very, very, VERY hard to NEVER buy from Amazon.......which isn't that too difficult since most of it is nothing but Chinese ripoff scammers now.
I tend to buy directly from US stores INSIDE the USA............physically and online.
I don't remember when the last time I bought something off Amazon, but I got royally fucked over, because it was a Chinese seller that claimed to be a USA business....and refused to give me my refund. After arguing with them for a week, they gave me 3/4 of my puchase price back.
NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
I rarely buy off Ebay anymore either, because their shipping rates and procedures have become corrupt and heinously over priced.
Needless to say, I don't order too much stuff online. I mean, it's GOT to be something difficult to find.......and after weeks or months of searching stores and local online retailers.........nobody else carries it.........I will order from Amazon or Ebay. BUT it has to be something NECESSARY. Usually an old part for an appliance or the vehicle I drive.
