I Went To An Amazon Returns Store

[@safiya]

HELLO FRIENDS!! this week we ventured to an amazon liquidation store to get ourselves some treasures 💸and also figure out what it was all about, lol. what did you guys think of our haul?? 🧐 PS -- quick note -- the in-store shopping segments were filmed in late July/early August, when the mask mandate in NC was lifted -- which is why you see a mix of mask & no-mask! hope you guys have a great weekend

[@Jesstabulous]

I almost imagine with how much they purchase weekly that the staff doesn’t pull a few things for themselves as a bonus - but so much good awesome stuff comes through that eventually it probably looses its appeal and you only grab what you really want/need after awhile and the novelty wears off lol

[@crazylatingirl94]

I'm sure staff sorts out the stuff they want. I know for a fact goodwill does this and stores like ross and tj maxx! I'm sure they've seen a lot of drones and otherwise expensive things come through, and that staff member likely didn't put that Apple watch in a bin lol

[@HAIRHOLIC_1]

@@crazylatingirl94 a friend of mine worked at Amazon and he told me that the staff are the ones who actually take the goods out of the boxes, because they only had a computer system that checked the labels on the boxes of retuned goods or undelivered packages, so they only had to make sure to scan the box when they’ve returned it to the warehouse and it was all good. He told me that literally everyone was stealing and doing these tricks, some people even got 60” TV’s, PlayStation’s, phones, laptops etc. If someone thinks that these liquidation companies are getting the real good stuff they’re dreaming because they won’t even make it all the way there in the first place 😂.

[@robinchen6171]

@Diana Meza Even if the product isn't damaged or doesn't work a lot of time ppl will buy stuff and keep bits returning the rest of it, so even if you get a good deal you might be ,missing key parts of the product.

[@Heidi2003]

Interesting that people keep commenting like this stuff *won't* end up in a landfill someday in the future....

[@lizzzylavender]

This is cool, but there’s a part of me that’s just really uncomfortable. Like we just throw so much away, it’s insane. It’s better that it goes here where someone might find and use this stuff, but the fact that all this stuff exists at all is insane. Whether it’s food or items or clothes, we waste so much that could mean everything to someone else, and keep producing at breakneck speeds in sweatshops just for most stuff to end up in the trash.

[@dreamer0georgi]

I would even argue that people paying pennies for items worth hundreds make them even more prone to throwing them in the trash if they don't like what they get and can't sell it further. It seems like a never ending cycle of waste no matter how you put it :(.

[@liliancaran5364]

Returning is not throwing away, and people rarely return things for fun or to waste something. Where ANY product exists, there will be "all this stuff." Waste exists all over the world, even more so in poor countries. At least here we are starting to find ways to reduce and manage waste, including the kind of waste that damages the ocean and other ecosystems. This way people can potentially get items that they otherwise may never be able to afford and could mean a lot to them, and also it's unethical to officially donate items that may not function or be unhygienic, just like it's unethical to donate food that may make someone sick or donate clothes that are dirty and have holes in them

[@dodgethis_]

I think one of the reasons why people are so wasteful there is that they can return stuff like that (clearly used, broken, for no reason other than "I don't like it"). The fact that you can return a half-finished piece of cosmetics in the States is mind-blowing to me.

[@glittery_cucumber]

I'm also sick of online shopping as a whole and videos about it in particular, although this one at least puts a spin on it where the items get repurposed. But shipping alone takes such an unneccesary toll on the environment... Not to mention the work conditions most of these items are produced in. The whole topic is a downer for sure.

[@sunshineyrainbows13]

The waste of first world countries is criminal when third world countries don't even have basic needs. We suck. Fr.

[@ispeakfangirl6857]

I just realized how much trash we generate while watching this. It blows my mind how many of these online products we buy and discard ends up being a trash that needs to be disposed. Our needs seemed to be infinite but we only have finite resources. Its truly mind-blowing how this video put it in perspective for me

[@Heliocanix]

right? im surprised at the lack of comments on this. Seeing all this made me feel so uneasy about just HOW much garbage we produce that we dont need >.< so much excess.. tho i think more of these types of stores would be good tho, making sure said excess at least gets a home and lowers the need to buy so many new items

[@ShannaFarley]

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing....so many pointless things

[@jesslikescoffee24]

It’s easy to feel poor seeing all of this stuff and thinking, “I don’t have that,” but really it’s just a bunch of stuff no one needs, produced from slave labor, and generates tons of waste.

[@biologynerd3]

Same, I find this really interesting but it's also deeply unnerving. Just the sheer amount of stuff and imagine how many stores like this exist around the county. Very disquieting.

[@randomlorenerd6040]

Worked in a warehouse for years. Always made me laugh when people would say shopping online is better. They have no idea how much plastic is used, the amount of gas needed to ship the items everywhere, and just the shear volume of waste.

Try not to do this more than once a week as it could be too much exfoliation on your skin. 5. Make sure to use a moisturizer/serum after as you’ve got some fresh skin that needs hydrating!

In a way it’s good that these places exist because otherwise this stuff would all end up in landfill. However, I think we’ve really got to change the way we view purchasing. If we put thought and time into purchase decisions we wouldn’t be returning as much as we are. Obviously sometimes we will be unhappy with a purchase due to sizing etc, but we still can sell it on ourselves or give it away to someone rather than returning it to a company who (without places like this) will put it straight into landfill. Not to mention the extra CO2 emissions from you returning your random plastic kitchen gadget. Respect your money, respect workers, respect the environment.

[@JarvisChrist]

Yeah seeing people buying hauls of stuff from Amazon with the assumption that you will return a lot of it is not sustainable. You never know if it's going to be resold or just go in the trash.

[@TheSongwritingCat]

I think it's complicated because if, for example, you buy a blender that doesn't work, you can't give it away or resell it. You can take the loss but you will still throw it away. As for items that can be resold (mostly clothes), there needs to be more pressure on companies to actually resell those items instead of calculating that the costs of reverse logistics are too high. Similarly, if rules were altered, companies would have more incentive to manufacture higher quality gadgets that would be less likely to be returned. This would drive up costs for products but it would ultimately be better for consumers to have confidence in the products they were buying.

[@AmandaTitus85]

A large part of the responsibility should lie on the massive companies. Amazon does not give a single care about the environment. Consumers can only do so much but these multimillion dollar companies can do so much more

[@lswt6026]

@@AmandaTitus85 I agree, but I also think we can do a lot. For example, we can buy from companies that care about the environment/their products. There are companies that take back their packaging and recycle it into more packaging for their products. There are also companies that take back their products and repair them or recycle them into more products they sell. It’s even better to buy secondhand- or better yet- buy less things.

[@FluffieXStarshine]

Some times though it's because they send the wrong product... It happened 3 times during the Amazon Prime days this year. And you have to return the incorrect product to get the right one sent out.

Coming from a small business owner who sells on Amazon: if a package is opened and used Amazon will (hopefully catch it and not send it out as new) then ask the business if they want to pay for shipping to ship it back to the business or pay (less money) for Amazon to "dispose" of it for them. I'm guessing that's where these items all come from. Also little known fact, people think Amazon loses money from returns but make so much it doesn't matter. Amazon only loses money on their own brand products. For any third party seller, the third party pays for that free shipping and free returns, plus pay amazon processing fees. So they don't lose money and in fact make a little from liquidation sales

So anytime an item is returned you cannot re sell it on Amazon at all?

[@KarinYuen]

@@banshee1133 not if it has been clearly opened and used. We don't have any way to talk to the Amazon workers so we can't tell them how to check or what to look for, so some shady people will take advantage on this and return only half things (like taking tips and filters from the microdermabration tool) and get a full refund. We can send it back to ourselves and see if it has been used or if it can be repackaged. We donate anything we can't sell but it is the most expensive route to ship it back to ourselves. If items are reported as broken or if the item is inexpensive to begin with, I imagine a lot of companies going with the Amazon disposal route because it's more cost effective.

I definitely think that in these types of stores you shouldn't be allowed to "hoard" a corner for yourself because lets be real here, that guy probably got all those products for the sake of reselling them for a mark up and that is scummy. There should be policies/rules to prevent this type of behaviour such as not being allowed to have more products than what you can fit in your shopping cart.

Materialism is a big part of it, yes. But it's also that home delivery is simply not the best way to get some things -i would even say MOST things. These centers exist, and also Kohl's stores handle Amazon returns. I don't know if all of them do, or only a few kohl's. But at the one i worked at last year we had at LEAST 20 returns per day, if not more. It might seem convenient, but adding in the disappointment of getting a damaged or inadequate item, having to pack it, take it somewhere, and then still end up needing to actually find a good version of what your looking for and get that instead -it adds up. I really believe that 95%+ of the time people are better off just shopping in person

The waste is a problem, but why bring capitalism into this? Capitalism is an economic style for how things are sold, excessive consumerism is a cultural thing and has to do with the buyers, not the sellers? Or a behavior developed through growing up very spoiled. As for the large amounts of excess products, this once again has to do with the buyers? They keep returning perfectly intact products instead of using them. Or at least this is my understanding, ofc correct me if I’m wrong on smth, but I always remember capitalism being taught as an economic system

[@Sackofpotates]

@@thetiredworm2100 well this quantity problem is a direct result of capitalism as the core value of all companies under capitalism is the maximization of profit, that means all other values that a company might have will always be overshadowed by the goal of making as much money as possible. I'm not even exaggerating that's exactly how it's written in economy text books. But if you have even juuust a smidge of life experience you KNOW that profit comes at the cost of people that actually did the labor and the environment. You could solve some issues by setting more regulations but people would complain that that's communism (it's not, it's just government doing their job).Capitalism created sentences like this -produce food if you can profit, if not let them starve

I’m one of those people who make those liquidation pallets to be sent to our carrier. It’s crazy how much people return/don’t want 👀 alot of the times the products are perfectly fine especially if the vendor does not want it.

I love that even though they got a hookup from the inside, they still line up every time like a normal customer. This is what separates them from most influencers/content creators out there.
