-Disorganized website -No customer service or live chat -Tax on pretty much all items -Hard to get in touch with sellers -Often mediocre photos of the product -Average pricing on most products

Rude vendors
Lazy and disorganized customer service

On the other hand they support gay marriage and sell online cable packages, so I guess Millenials love them |

I won't support Walmart because their shitbox stores ruined the Americana aesthetic and made it so disgusting people can live and breed cheaply.

Their customer service is actually okay. Returns are easy. They'll often refund you and just let you keep the thing if it's not up to expectations.
It's really become an eBay-level shitshow, though. There will be 10 listings for the same product, with different options within each. Also, as xo has scholarship on, there's tons of garbage on there now. |

every product now has chinese competitors with inflated reviews that are supposedly better than legacy brands, but are typically shit, pure shit. it's a constant battle where you're wondering if you're getting duped or missing out on some great savings.
i fucking hate their reviews so much. and good luck going to google! every cocksucker has a blog with affiliate links to more bullshit products!
it's very hard to know objectively what is best anymore unless you're really into something already |

Now, for expensive electronics, I'll use B&H or Adorama to avoid sales tax. For a lot of mid priced consumer electronics (e.g. electric toothbrushes) I'll use Costco for their ridiculous return policy. |
