Frequently returned items on Amazon get warning labels

[Jan]

Amazon adding warning labels to frequently returned items

Amazon is rolling out a warning label for products listed on its site that customers "frequently returned" to help prospective buyers avoid misleading or low-quality products, The Information reports.

The policy change will also help the ecommerce giant reduce the frequency of unnecessary returns. Amazon currently allows returns on new and unused items within 30 days after purchase.

Not a bad idea at all.

This will not end well. Many stupid customers out there.

Like most people, I do some research before buying something. I read a lot of reviews. Or used to. The amount of bitching and complaining especially American consumers do about absolutely minor stuff is unbelievable. I also think it is a self-feeding loop.

For instance, I bought an inflatable mattress for my bike trips. It was generally very well reviewed and positive comments. But the amount of bitching about how "noisy" it was when one turned over at night was just crazy. I went ahead and bought it. Result? The "noisy" was a non-event, totally insignificant.

People have turned into spoilt, demanding and impossibly nitpicky dweebs.

I have yes, very, um, difficult people. Have a lot of family and friends there.

Many years ago we used to do horse safaris from my farm. Had many foreigners do the trips. So I collect these 2 American women at the airport. En route to the farm we stop at a restaurant for a light lunch. They order cheese burgers and chips (at a restaurant yes). Meals get served. They proceed to pick out the tomato and lettuce, scrape off the relish, dig around for anything else that may poison them, before eating the bun and patty. Extremely wasteful, VERY demanding and whiney, spoilt rotten. Luckily Hollywood spins them as tough as nails, pioneer spirits.
