> It's not just Walmart taking their business - it's Amazon.
He he. Again I'm glad you aren't running Apple.
One thing about being a gazillionaire running a business that sells to non-gazillionaires... you aren't looking around to save $20. They don't have the time. $20 worth of time for the CEOs of Apple or Google passes in about a pico second. When do you think was the last time Larry or Sergey or even Tim shopped for a TV?
I don't go to Amazon to buy tools, nor Walmart. When I'm wedged under a car, I don't have time for a cheap ratchet to fail or break. I don't order refrigerators or washer/dryers or even TVs from Amazon, they can't compete because of shipping. Steel tools are heavy. I might shop at Walmart for those but I'm well aware that 98% of the product that Wally sells in that area is price based shit. Getting a quality item there? Not likely. You buy breakables or replaceables at Wally. Not much else. Buy it break it, go buy quality somewhere else. Pay twice. Learn your lesson. Amazon is simply where you go to find what non-shippables worth retail.
In fact no retailers gets that market, EXCEPT Apple IMHO.
I don't want to spend a week shopping around.
Costco almost gets it. Low inventory. If they figure it, that being they need to do our vetting, they'll take virtually all the money for non-shippable items. Walmart could do it too, but they are so fixated on price I doubt it. Best thinks 300 products in each category is best even if 299 are virtual swindles. Sears forgot who its clients are.
> You're describing a problem they have because their technology is a mess.
Have you done a search on Amazon lately? Their "search" engine SUCKS! No matter how you set it up you get thousands of unwanted hits for things that only relate to the search terms in being on the same planet. Plus they have "categories" so in order to do a relevance or review search you can only do it in one of dozens of categories. Amazon SUCKS.
I'm trying to buy some clip lamps right now. Nobody sells anything that looks viable right now. Not one retailer I can find. Amazon, Macy's, Target, Walmart, Costco, Sears. Not one. There are hundreds of POS lamps out there, no good ones. Like phones in a way. |
