See box that looks like it's 3/4 ripped in half from stacking damage:

"Looks good to me, send it off."

Ended up ordering it from Phillips for cheaper on sale, turns out it's not too hard to avoid Amazon altogether and a bonus for the company's reputation being important to the ones picking/packaging the product. Hard to blame the Amazon worker though, they don't get paid enough to care.

    Would be nice if that community didn't just post "Bezos bad" and actually gave tips on reducing Amazon use, but it's a newer comm with little traction...

    Edit: Some of y'all missed the point lol. I don't use Amazon, but it makes it extremely hard to find shit that isn't being sold in stores near me. How about promoting other websites/ways to get things, rather than preaching about Bezos being evil. I know he's evil, it's why I don't use Amazon, but TEACH people where else they can go.

    It's the equivalent of going "Sex is bad kids" but then not actually teaching safe sex, condom use, STIs, etc.

    The community is called “de-amazon”. It’s fine to say “bezos bad” but there’s plenty that the community could do beyond that.

    Amazon and brick-and-mortar big box stores killed a lot of small businesses, and now online shopping is the only way to go for a lot of items, especially niche stuff.

    Here are some ideas for actual useful posts in a community called “de-amazon”:

    Here are the best sites for all your cookware needs

    Anyone know some reputable sites to buy drone parts?

    How to make diy x so you don’t have to buy it!

    But who cares about community and information-sharing anyway.

    Be the change you want to see in the world ❤️. I usually shop at thrift stores and locally sourced bidding websites (Macbids - PA and OH). I've also purchased from EarthHero which is online store for environmentally conscious brands.
