Friendly Amazon policy has sneaky costs for shoppers
Amazon’s popular feature is taking a toll both on sellers and shoppers, who sometimes end up with a ‘pooped diaper.’
Amazon (AMZN) changed the retail game forever, and there’s no turning back.
“The everything store” is often blamed for the so-called “Amazon Effect," or the disruptive effect it has had on the global retail industry. This huge marketplace took the world by the storm by offering the most convenient way of shopping that's ever existed.
It created a completely new class of shoppers — online ones. By the end of 2022, there were around 266.7 million online buyers, and by 2025, the number of online shoppers grew to 291.2 million in the U.S. alone, writes Flowspace.
