Amazon is a gigantic garage sale/garbage pile now.

At least you can request that the items be sorted!

The worst thing is sorting by price. If you sort by reviews or something things look decent. Sort by price and you see pages and pages of things that are in the wrong category and very cheap.

I love when you change the sorting arrow and the total numbers of items found changes.

Sorts by review: 5000 items that each have a single 5 star rating from years ago

Sorts by price: 5000 items for under a dollar that are only tangentially related to what you're looking for

Sorts by relevance: Amazon Basics and some Chinese company doing business as a random collection of letters in all caps

I love how they blatantly hide tons of results any time I use sort lowest to highest. 🙃

[–] LemoineFairclough@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I didn't say how useful the sorting is!

I've just started buying from AliExpress because it's literally the exact same item. Drop shipping destroyed Amazon's credibility. If I'm gonna get garbage I may as well pay 95% less.
