Amazon pricing makes no sense. - eviltoast

We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we’ll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?

    I really wonder who is still buying things on amazon. I used it mainly to browse and then find the product somewhere else. But now it’s an absolute shitshow. Clothing is probably the worst, everything is cheap fast fashion directly from china and they usually have like a 3 star rating where people are either shills or people who complain that it’s worthless and the pictures look nothing like what it’s sold. Aside from wish level crap, the “normal” items don’t even seem to ve cheaper anymore than what it’s sold in a store.

      Car parts. I can have a part in two days, it’s the same part that the parts store carries, but 1/4 the price. Fuck them parts stores.
