I agree but why support them in the first place? I haven't used Amazon since I rented a textbook for law school. It was my 1L property book and I ended up jizzing on the cover of it and returning it anyway

I don't spend all that much on Amazon these days. It's just sometimes the only place where I can get something I need conveniently. And they have a return policy that's easy to abuse.

Sorry for not giving a thorough response with citations and examples. Amazon is also the cheapest option for some things I buy. And other times it's the only option for whatever obscure thing I need.
I really don't spend that much on Amazon. Not using Amazon out of strict principle won't have any effect at all on it being an evil GC corp. They probably lose money on me because I often buy things on sale or loss leaders, and I return a lot of things.

Nothing crazy. The worst I do is buy something I need for only one or two quick uses and then return it. A few times Amazon has just given me a full refund without even having to return the item.

I've yet to do this. There are even a couple items perfectly boxed up to return in my garage because they were nowhere close to what I needed. Some of the boxes are at least 5 years old.

I'm guessing you haven't returned much stuff on Amazon? Most returns don't require a label or even the item being packaged. I just need to show UPS a QR code from Amazon.
