Why is Amazon winning

RaceBannon

@oregonblitzkrieg was ranting about Amazon killing the brick and mortar stores.

I dispatched my wife to Macy's today to get a bed, two mattresses, and a box spring to be delivered to the house. I figured she would want to see and feel what she was buying.

So she drives to Macy's after checking the store out online only to be told that she couldn't buy those items in the store, she needs to go on line. This is at a major mall and a flag ship store.

Hey no problem. I'm about to go online and buy them

At Amazon. Really unbelievable

I guess they don't have Mattress Ranch down in So Cal.

In the last place I lived we got a Sports Authority. I go in, look for something, and they of course don't have it. They tell me they can order it online for me and I can go back to the store at a later time and pick it up.

I told them I will just order it online for cheaper and have dropped off on my porch. Sports Authority went under nationwide four months later.

It's comical to me that way back in the day everyone ordered everything out of a catalog from Montgomery Ward's, Sear & Roebucks, etc. and it was delivered to their door. Those services went under because people wanted to see and feel what they were buying in person first. Noe they are being toppled by what they toppled.

I don't see OBKfs waging war to bring back Montgomery Ward's. It's obviously because he is OBK and he is FS.

I recently moved and have been buying lots of new shit to furnish the place. Can't fucking stand the hours of furniture stores (how are people with a job supposed to shop for furniture if they close at 6pm?), the selection of anything, or the prices anywhere.

I've been buying everything from electronics to furniture to a new shower curtain on ebay. Haven't had a bad experience yet, and have been paying pennies on the dollar. It's unbelievable to me that people still shop in actual stores.

I furnished my last house completely without ever stepping foot in a store for under $5k. No cheap shit either.

I still go to stores because nobody will give me a credit card plus I like to stay off the grid and be a cash only hard target.

Me too. The only thing I wanted to test out was the couch. So I went to living spaces and the only one I like there they told me I would have to wait 6 weeks for it to be delivered.

The only thing I really buy in stores now are clothes.
Even half of those I get online. Shoes and dress shirts only because I use the same brand and size.

And booze.

Even groceries I get delivered

The basement is where I reside at all times.

Fuck Bezos and Amazon. Bezos is the biggest libtard swine out there. When all the brick and mortar stores are gone and the people who use Amazon lose their jerbs, they won't be buying much of Amazon's counterfeit Chinese shit anymore.

Wrong. I hate Chinese companies that sell their shit in America, hardly pay any taxes and kill jobs and US businesses. I understand you guys love them and kiss their ass because you all live in Seattle and work there. But if you can't see that they are killing jobs and small and large companies everywhere, then there's not much else to say.

Amazon is such a pro American company doing such great work for the USA, like this: colluding with Ebay and the Hong Kong post to fuck over the US taxpayer, consumer and small online/brick and mortar stores by allowing Chinese shippers to bundle small packages, literally ship them for pennies, then when said packages arrive in the US, the USPS is forced to split them up and offer tracking for each package. So a chink in Hong Kong can basically ship you something for CHEAPER than you can send a post card to your next door neighbor, complete with tracking information. You wonder why you can buy shit on ebay and get free shipping from China? That's why. If you don't think that's fucked up, then you are fucked up.

They treat their own sellers and employees like garbage. If you haven't heard the horror stories of working in an Amazon warehouse, you haven't been paying attention. And they undercut their own sellers and put them out of business. If they find something that's selling well, they will go out, source it themselves, and buy so much of the shit that the seller can't even hope to get the same prices they buy it for.

And then there's the damage they are doing to shopping malls, bookstores and just about every other business out there

They are also working on putting the USPS UPS and others out of business with their drone program.

And don't forgot the dog shit CEO who also happens to own the Washington Post and is responsible for a large chunk of the fake news out there.

They are a monopoly and a threat to the economy and need to be dealt with by breaking them up.

Such a fucking great company. We are lucky they are based here at all.
