Costly Face Masks And Other Items
Let’s start with some products that have gone off the charts lately- face masks and similar items. COVID-19 has spread to every corner of the globe meaning that now, more than ever, the public is looking to buy good quality, reliable face masks, and large quantities of hand sanitizer.
At the beginning of the pandemic, thousands of shady people tried to take advantage of the chaos and added listings for incredible prices. To be fair, Amazon did try to stop these practices, citing that it was disappointed in peoples’ attempts to make up prices for what were now considered essential items.
From time to time, however, you’ll still find hand sanitizers and face masks at suspiciously high prices. If the descriptions also promise protection from the virus, plus other astounding claims, don’t buy these products. They’re most likely scams meant to take advantage of your need to keep yourself and your household safe.
Learn to shop around…..

I disagree with you about the dog food. My dog needs a specific type of dry food. It’s from Science Diet. I can only get it at either of 2 pet stores near me. Big box and local grocery don’t carry that particular one. I found it $10 cheaper on Amazon. When I signed up for auto ship I saved another $5! My advice to everyone is basically what many do already, know the prices of the things you want and shop around.
Be careful with science diet, some are very bad for your dog, check if it has BHT or BHA they are cancer causing and have been found in many dog foods.
I was going to buy a cordless Dyson vacuum from Amazon until I discovered it was $100 less if I bought it right from the manufacturer with a free gift and free shipping. So I bought it from the manufacturer.
I purchased Etekcity Digital Body Weight scale April 2019. I used it 43 times ( i weighted myself each time) and it stopped working. Ichanged the batteries and no such luck. This was Nov 2020. An email to the company was sent and they asked me to send a video of it not working. I’m a senior. I just gave $21.00 away. I also purchased in the same order Amazon Cross-Cut Shredder. You can only have the paper go backwards but not shred forward. I refuse to purchase any electronics from Amazon again. It cost shipping to return the items to Amazon or a 3rd party seller,
About three years ago I purchased some bras (from a well known brand) that Amazon was selling. I came to find that
they were imitations and were not made out of the quality material that I was used to. Friends of mine have noted
to me that in this case “imitation is a fake”. I buy a lot from Amazon….but not clothes, shoes, or underwear. Also…when
you look at the displays of candy….they look very large for the good prices….but they are tiny…and the sizes are not
posted. Maybe it’s time for Amazon to REALLY start doing MORE quality control.
