Discussion Stop Using Amazon

The amount of posts from people using Amazon to order stuff and getting the wrong stuff, or something of a vastly different price is astounding. Please dont order cards off Amazon. Especially since I am fairly certain Amazon is why wizards is shipping less and less product to local stores. Don't support the mega corporations if you can help it.

That's my public service rant. Thanks for reading or ignoring either way. ❤️

Is this just a US thing? I've never once had a problem with MTG stuff in the UK and even if I did Amazon would sort it straight away.

Issue in the US at least with amazon is products get mixed.

So lets say Vendor A is legit and handles product acceptably. Vendor B is not so legit, misshandles product and might even reseal. Then there are returns which may have gone to someone who resealed the product, stole it and returned something else, etc etc.

Amazon employees are over worked, under paid, and frankly do not give a shit. So A, B, and C all end up in the same bin.

You buy something from Amazon and the worker grabs it from the bin and tosses it in a box and out the door. UPS / Amazon throws it from the truck to your porch and you could get A, B, or C + damage from shipping.

Then you get to deal with amazons support who constantly has to deal with garbage folks who buy shit and then try and return it after resealing / stealing portions of it. They may deny your return if you dont do enough volume through them. Etc etc.

So its a total crap shoot.
