The hassle of returning fraudulent or broken products has already driven me back to brick and mortar retail stores for items of any real value. | ||

This never happened to me for an actually valuable item, but I've received stuff like flimsy chinese nail clippers rather than the one I ordered. Not even knocks off, just completely different items. A proper knock off would've probably been just as good as the original... The idea likely was that nobody is going to bother making much of a fuss over a 20 dollar nail clipper. | ||

You're exchanging a 50% chance (?) of having to fill in a form with a 100% chance of having to drive to the store, finding parking, going home and having a 50% it doesn't work when plugged in anyway. | ||

A lot of brick and mortar stores are turning into Alibaba / Tenu / Shine resellers as well lately. Seeing more and more AI generated illustrations on products too. | ||
