Meanwhile, brick and mortar retail cannot sell ip-infringing merchandise because they own the inventory adn there's a vetting process that is many times more diffiuclt thatn what 3rd party sellers go through to sell on Amazon.
3. This is the most disgusting one. Product liability. When you buy something on Amazon jfrom a 3rd party seller and that something blows up in yoru face or causes you to lose an eye or whatever, you get fucked, but amazon doesn't. If you were to buy the same product from walmart
you'd get a nice thick check from the insurance company which insured the goods. Not so on Amazon! Pardon my french, but that's fucked up. So yes, did Amazon spank retail's ass? Of course, but did they play fair? No. That's why Amazon is the master of the legal but unethical.
So, sorry to break to you, it wasn't just "prime" or Bezos being a genius. Yes, he's super smart and strategic (as you can see here!), but there's a lot of bullshit going on behind the scenes that makes it easy for Amazon to beat the brick and mortar competition (for whom I have
no love lost). Walmart and Amazon both get teh same subsidies from government to open stores (or FC's) and they boht lobby. They play teh same games. Walmart sent manufacturing jobs to China. Amazon did the same and then added insult to injury by moving wholesalers and brands to
China. It's staggering how deaf our government has been to these nagging problems that not only hurt brands, hurt consumers, but also deny them of the gov't tax revenues that they so desperately need. /end
