Yeah there's scams all over amazon. I bought two new Acer laptops, for the company. One was fine and one shit the bed immediately. Called Acer and they said those aren't even allowed to be sold in the US, have no warranty and no support.

The only niche hobby thing I might consider buying on amazon is computer parts, and that's only if I can't get them from newegg/microcenter/B&H/etc
For performance car parts, use summit racing or a tuner shop that specializes in your car. For regular parts use rockauto

It ain't called Scamazon for nothing, OP.

Lesson learned.
Apparently even the steel on the backing plates is weak and causes issues.
Wild stuff.

>be too lazy to take the rust off the rotor's hat
brand new heat cycled two piece floating rotors

>Ride the brake the entire time glazing the pads
That's not how you bed in track pads anon.
See pic

>dont bother to use slotted rotors
Wrong again
But also wrong for multiple reasons.
Slots arn't gonna make a fake Chinese pad work like the real ones.

>blame amazon instead even though they bought a pallet direct from hawk
Amazon DOES NOT buy from hawk as they are NOT an approved distributer.
In fact, hawk is suing them for Unauthorized sales.

>>28698298
We all know what the inspect element is anon. your bait is shit.

The quality of this place is alarmingly bad.
In the past, anons would put effort into their bait
Now y'all just throw the pipe into the water.

>buying shit on Amazon in 2025
shiggy

>>28697905 (OP)
amazon is basically just target now: a place to beat cheap, plastic, chinkshit at higher prices than from china (temu/aliexpress/alibaba).

>>28698309
I'm the third. OP is a confirmed poorfaggot.

>>28697905 (OP)
Yeah Amazon is absolutely niggered, along with Ebay - expect everything you buy there to be fake.

>>28699700
amazon and ebay are mostly convenience stores. pay the mark up on the chinese goods or order direct from china and wait a few weeks.

>Yeah Amazon is absolutely niggered, along with Ebay - expect everything you buy there to be fake.
I notice Amazon is a real challenge when you want to find something that's not Chinesium garbage. Ebay is where I go to find used parts and castaways from industry for pennies on the dollar.

>>28697905 (OP)
>>28697945
Amazon, ebay have been completely taken over by the chinese
