Yes there are really bad products and their QC is horrible. I'll say the same for Aliexpress, Taobao, Amazon, Walmart and Bestbuy.

There's a huge difference between some 5/10 products at Walmart and Best Buy and the best case being a 5/10 product with the majority being 2/10 and some being actually dangerous like Temu.

They're not remotely similar.

Depends on what you buy. You shouldn't be buying PSUs or TVs or something of the sort from there, but try finding cheap clothes, accessories, electronics like that on Amazon

You shouldn't be buying anything from there.

Those cheap clothes would be overpriced at free.

And where am I getting such cheap clothes if I don't have a thrift store near me? I'd happily take them for free.

And clothes are just one part of it, which I don't really purchase that often (I mentioned them because I bought a few boxers to wear around the house but that's it)
