it doesnt, you're too stupid for the internet.

I've bought a few things off there lately like a tea kettle & shite that i know nothing about.


again, too stupid for the internet.

I'm tired of repeating myself

case in point, i just got a king size bed & wanted to shop for some good quality sheets that aren't too expensive. the top 10 or so reviewed sheets are all this shitty $21 'egyptian quality' bullshite and the most helpful review (most # of LIKES essentialy) was a 1-star talking about how fricking horrible those sheets are and they tear like tissue paper in the washer.


Doesnt that show that it's working. There are a bunch of reviews telling you how shitty the product is, so don't buy it

You can't just rely on stars, you have to read through a good number of the reviews. Between the paid reviews and the idiots that review things they've never even bought, there's a lot of noise to sift through.

A lot of people buy stuff from Amazon for the value and convenience and their reviews will likely reflect that.

Don't buy sheets online. Go into a store and see what ones feel best to you. The best sheets to one person might feel like crap to you.

It sounds more like the users of Amazon are who you have a problem with. Apparently, people who buy sheets on Amazon prefer cheap to good, hence the high rating for cheap sheets.

What makes Amazon great is that they will probably refund you and pay for return shipping so you can get something else.

Just like your iPhone/android thread, you are always looking for someone to blame

Why would I order sheets online? I want to feel the sheets before I buy them.

Amazon is seriously of the single best companies. I order all the time from them. I have yet to be disappointed. The few times I had issues, their customer service took care of it in a matter of minutes. Not liking Amazon is like a child hating Disney World.

After you've found the sheets you like, pull out your phone and search for those EXACT ones on amazon and see how much they cost.

I enjoy Amazon. I get gift cards from my Chase credit card points so that I have not actually used any of my money to buy anything off of Amazon in years.

Note the La Dept of Revenue: I never buy anything off of Amazon.

That's not the answer. The answer is, great sheets cost more than $21 and if you dont know that youre an idiot.

Go around the internet looking for great sheets then check amazon for the product if you need to do it that way.

You're buying stuff you don't know anything about. Do your research and you'll be fine.

nope.

longevity is a key to this process, most will start pilling right away and what feels good brand new wont last.

i've actually found very good sheets but they're not at amazon or in retail stores.

they're at llbean.

i would have never found them by using amazon.

Were you misled?


Does it not make tea correctly?


Did the reviews make you think you were getting one made of gold that made better tasting tea?
