Imagining hilarious counterfeit cars start showing up. “My FROD truck only has two gears”
- MOST SIZE Truck for boys and girls and students with orthopedic support fully three dimensional with reverse gear fully adjustable windows by ADVNZOI
- Where’s my amazons choice Rhonda?
- We have to get my daughter a notebook computer that runs Windows or Mac OS for her online school she's starting next semester. Obviously we're not going to spend the money on a Mac and she doesn't need anything very powerful because it's going to be mostly web browsing and Zoom meetings. There are a lot of sub-$300 notebooks on Amazon, and some of them are from companies like Acer and Dell, but there are a shit ton of brands I have never heard of- Excebook, CHUWI, SGIN... some don't even say the brand. It's crazy.
  
  Chuwi is one I have actually come across IRL! Can’t vouch either way for it but anecdotally the owner seemed happy
- I know a genuine panaphonics when I see one.
I can't wait to buy a car from reputable dealership JWN1BNNY.
- That Tiyata Carolllla seems like a bargain.
Will I get 5% back on my prime card? 😅
- Asking the real questions here.
Will they be subject to the same return policy?
I can only imagine this going poorly, but in hilariously unexpected ways that I can’t wait to see.
- But the shareholders said otherwise, they expect to make billions! Cause they are trying to maximize their profits. But I agree with you.
but i don't want to support either of those shitty entities! i want to buy from the damn factory!
Just download the damned car, at this point.
- You wouldn't!
Amazon sucks, but so do the gate-keeping dealerships.
Hmm… how will a return work? 🤔
Put it the car back in a box and drop it at the nearest dropoff store or UPS/FedEx? 🤣
Will there be a 30% restocking fee?
What if the car just doesn't work after delivery? Missing parts?
Will there now also be a Amazon Warehouse Deals for used cars?
The sooner that traditional car dealers go away as a business model the better.
Yes, but when can I buy a train?

  Now I'm all worked up about dem cabooses
  
  Holy crow, thank you!

- you wouldn't download a CaR
  like, yes mf, I would
