  @tinybird420 @DazzlingMellie The material it's made is probably horrible tho, that's the main problem with Amazon basic. Cause on the concept I have nothing against a black midi skirt, it's just when it's worn irl you can literally see how poor quality it is and it affects the outfit a lot

  @DazzlingMellie OK cold take but while I think skirt go spiny memes are whatever, I think the amazon basic skirt and socks are terrible and no one should ever wear it

  @slasherhomo @amazon Had this issue back when Weapons was released physically last year AND when Silent Night Deadly Night was released earlier this year. Pre-ordered them MONTHS in advance and Amazon delayed both. I’ve pretty much lost all faith in them

  @JonFraserTF @canadapostcorp I have said time and time again. Canada should ACTUALLY embrace the new world and tech and just contract out mail services to Amazon and keep true rural delivery only where Amazon can't go. And possibly for govt/legal sensitive deliveries if that is an issue as well. Would be vastly cheaper, WAY more efficient and fast, and WAY better quality.

  On August 1, an Xbox Series X will cost $800. Microsoft keeps saying they want consoles to be "affordable." Those two things sound incompatible until you see what hit my inbox last week: pallets of Xbox consoles at 65% off MSRP, headed for the secondhand market. I pieced this together over the past week, and it got more interesting the deeper I went. In April, Microsoft put out the "We Are XBOX" memo. Two lines stood out: "Xbox will be built to be affordable, personal, and open." "Pricing is getting harder for people to keep up with." Then in June they announced the third price hike in two years, effective August 1. The Series X Disc over 18 months: $499 in early 2025 $599 in May $649 in October $800 on August 1 The Series S, the supposed budget option, went from $299 to $499 over the same stretch. If you've been waiting for new console prices to come down, they aren't going to. Why not just cut prices? They can't. Microsoft's own hike announcement blamed memory and storage costs running more than 2.5x higher. That's AI demand doing the work: Microsoft alone is putting $190B into data centers this year, up 60% from 2025, and that same buildout is inflating RAM, storage, and GPU prices. The exact parts inside a console. There has never been a worse time to build a cheap console. Their own CEO admitted it in June: it's "hard to imagine that mass audiences can afford thousands of dollars" for a console generation. She said we'll see "radically different business models" later this year. I think I found out what one of those models looks like. I run an ecommerce business, so liquidators send me wholesale offers all day. Last week one landed: five SKUs of Xbox consoles at 65% off MSRP. Series S at $140. Series X at $280. 500 unit minimums. That's the flyer attached to this post. I started asking questions, and the answers were better than the flyer. Per the supplier, these come straight from Microsoft's trade-in program. Around 50,000 units in this batch alone. Every unit has to be fully functional to qualify. Tested, all accessories and cables included, just no retail box. And here's the part that got me: they aren't even in the warehouse yet. Microsoft ships them out over the next 30 days. Resellers are pre-ordering allocations right now. Where do 50,000 discounted Xboxes go? To resellers, who flip them on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Whatnot. Over the next few months. In volume. So here's my read. "Flexible pricing" isn't one thing. It's 0% financing at checkout. It's the Game Pass price cuts. And it's the part I haven't seen reported: letting the used market deliver the affordable console while new hardware climbs. Microsoft keeps their margins, skips the logistics, and the trade-in program becomes the budget tier. Could I be wrong? Sure. Nobody outside Redmond knows for certain, and I can't independently verify where the liquidator's units come from. But 50,000 tested consoles moving through one channel weeks before a price hike is a signal, whatever the intent. So if you want an Xbox and don't need it sealed in a box: wait a couple months. Tested, working consoles with all the accessories are about to be everywhere, cheap. Or would you still pay $800 for the box?

  @FArkonus @DiscussingFilm “They had no issue with…” Completely false. And yes, this is much worse than Amazon MGM. Disney/Fox prevailing is exactly why they have to take even stronger action this time.

  Reviews destroy brands. By the time most companies see a negative signal, it's already a crisis. Sentinelle flips that. AI agents monitor every review across Google, Amazon, Trustpilot and alert you the moment trouble emerges — before it spreads. Live soon.

  What a dork. First he has to point out it's a 'female'. Second he clearly doesn't understand that the cardboard is the outer packaging for protection etc and so being placed on the ground is neither here nor there - unless he is some otaku who collects used cardboard. Third it is packed in way so a bit of rough handling isn't an issue. Fourth, perhaps he should track how goods are handled from producer, to warehouse, to Amazon warehouse, to delivery depot, to van, and all points in between. Finally he and all the people who commented in support should get an effing life.

  @AmazonHelp @radhika_bajaj The Amazon India support team is absolutely terrible. They stole my 8000 rupees by delivering an incorrect and old product and refused to accept a return. It’s pure fraud.

  @PetenShirl Then Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ are in a whole heap of trouble. Surely they ain't gonna go along with propping up ***** like the BBC without a court battle?

  Best niches to print money with ecom right now: ≫ Beauty & Skincare - Repeat purchases - High profit margins - UGC works naturally - Easy subscription potential - Huge creative angles ≫ Health & Wellness - Strong emotional buying - High average order value - Repeat customers - Easy bundle offers - Evergreen demand ≫ Baby & Parenting - Parents buy on emotion - High trust products - Great word-of-mouth - Multiple upsell opportunities - Low price sensitivity ≫ Pet Products - Owners spend emotionally - Repeat purchase potential - Easy problem-solution creatives - Passionate customer base - High engagement ads ≫ Home Organization - Satisfying video creatives - Clear before/after demos - Impulse purchases - Broad audience - Low explanation needed Worst niches to print money with ecom: ≫ Fashion (Generic Clothing) - Return rates destroy profit - Constant trend chasing - Expensive creative production - Heavy competition - Weak customer loyalty ≫ Phone Accessories - Amazon dominates pricing - Thin margins - Easy price comparison - Difficult brand differentiation - Constant race to the bottom ≫ Kitchen Gadgets - One-hit wonder products - Saturate quickly - Low repeat purchases - Copycats appear fast - Hard to build a brand ≫ Car Accessories - Expensive customer acquisition - Compatibility issues - High refund rates - Lots of support questions - Limited repeat buying ≫ Heavy Home Products - Shipping kills margins - Damage during delivery - Costly returns - Warehousing headaches - Cash flow gets ******* Rule of thumb: If customers only buy once, compare prices everywhere, and can find the exact same product on Amazon, I pass. If people buy repeatedly, it solves a painful problem, and the product can be sold in a 15-second video, that's where I'd start.

  @CaryKelly11 @amazon I forgot about your Amazon page. I just had my wife order your book. I’m officially starting carnivore tomorrow. My Dr put me on arthritis medicine today. I hate taking pills but I have been down for six weeks with these flare ups in my joints every time I do anything physical.
