I bought a mouthguard a while back from Kogan, thinking I’d support a ‘local’ business. It was more expensive than from Amazon, but you know, local.

It arrived in a box with an Amazon docket showing the lower price kogan got it for, prior to the markup I paid. Bloody Kogan, never shopping from them again (and don’t get me started on the resulting spam)

it also bothers me on an ethical level, there are people who don't want to trade with certain companies and yet we get shenanigans like that
