Amazon isn’t a monopoly, its competitors just don’t have good shipping or return policies.

I got an empty box shipped to me instead of an SSD last week and got an instant refund for it.



I mean, sure, you got an instant refund... But, do you find it OK that you got an empty box shipped instead of an SSD? To me that is unacceptable.


That really depends how often it happens. You can't expect 100% reliability, especially for any processes that involve humans or physical items. And even if 100% reliability was attainable the cost would probably be astronomical so you have to make the tradeoff somewhere.
