I know most of us are past buying from amazon, but this may be helpful for relatives who are less far along in their journey.

I just bought a part to fix someone's refrigerator ice dispenser off scamazon. cheaper on scamazon than from manufacturer's own website.

I also bought an extra 20v battery pack. Probably comes from China but Scamazon gets it to my house for whatever little margin they take.

it's good for what it is. best deal on parts delivered

Don't they make it clear you're buying a "used-like-new" item? Or have they now started selling you that shit without disclosing?

While it is illegal to sell used goods as new, all Amazon has to do to get around such laws is have the employee processing returns assess it as new (in their opinion).

I'm in Canada, they sent me some used shit for a new price. So I started looking into what the hell is going on, and discovered these LPN things. They indicate the product has been returned at least once.

If you ever do return something to them, mark the box or put a sticker label on the item that says it's used. It makes it more difficult for amazon to continue this scam.

Amazon hires the lowest common denominator in warehouse employees because they chew threw them so quickly.

Sometimes things get tossed back in the new product stream through incompetence or maliciousness.

I don't buy from Amazon and refuse to. My needs are just as complex as most people's (family, small business, home etc) but I don't need it and don't want to support something I see as completely toxic to the human experience.
Until people re-wire their 'buy from whoever is cheapest' regardless of all other factors society is doomed and stuck in a race to the bottom.

You pay different prices for shit all the fucking time. I bet you'd by water from 0.50 to 5.00 a bottle just depending on where you are.

It's only all about the money if you make it so.

This forum is consume product. Amazon is literally peak consume product and anybody here supporting them in any way should fuck off and kike away/coin clip somewhere else, plenty of spaces for short sighted consooooomers already.

It really is a good marketplace. They nailed the logistics of delivery and are able to get stuff at walmart prices to your house for practically zero shipping fee. It was even better before Trump gave us internet sales tax. When i was rebuilding my truck i was able to get tools and special parts i needed in 2 days or less to keep the engine rebuild going.

i still use ebay too.

Well watch out for the LPNs in that case. The items could have been returned in past for being inconsistently faulty, so you never know when the fault will show up again.

If i'm not mistaken I think he meant more like he buys parts to repair things

I just meant if the parts are pre-owned/returns they may be unreliable and make his repairs unreliable.

LPNs (short for license plate number) literally go on every single item when they come into an Amazon facility. It's just their inventory system. Every single item has a unique number assigned to it. You can try to spread this if your goal is to get people to just return Amazon products ad infinitum in an attempt to fuck up their business but the information presented here is false. It'll get outed as false pretty quickly too considering how many people work for and have worked for Amazon. But more power to you if it works.

They use the original UPC on products, the added thermal-printed LPN barcode designates a return. You can verify this on google if you so desire.

An infinite return chain would be pretty funny though.

Their return policy is already too loose. I've heard people brag about abusing it.

I worked there. I double checked too because the facility I worked in was originally zappos but they were bought out and converted while I was there. I used duck duck go and the first thing I found confirmed what I'm saying. It's been over ten years since I worked there but I doubt anything has changed. The whole point is to increase inventory accuracy. Every item has a specific id and is placed in specific locations. The lpn sticker is larger and more visible for ease of scanning. There's an entire department dedicated to just cycle counting the inventory constantly. I was there for 4 years. I worked in almost every department. I scanned hundreds of thousands of these things. I promise you, you're wrong.
