Attorney General Bonta Exposes Amazon Price Fixing Scheme Driving Up Costs for Americans, Asks Court to Immediately Halt Illegal Conduct
New evidence shows Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products and making Amazon richer and richer OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta last night filed a request for a preliminary injunction in California’s existing case against Amazon for price fixing. Attorney General Bonta’s 2022 lawsuit alleged that the company stifled competition and caused increased prices across California through its anticompetitive policies in order to avoid competing on price with other retailers.

Free Games & Accessories! At Amazon's Expense
UPDATE: ALL THE AMAZON FREEBIES ARE SPOKEN FOR! SORRY!There are free games at the bottom of this ... stick with me. As everyone knows, Amazon.com is at best a lousy business partner and more often a hostile adversary for small businesses that have to work with it. Without going into the details, I'll just say that their bait and switch on a Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) promotion has cost us a huge bunch of money, and I only get gaslighting and runaround trying to get extra charges refunded. Same on a recent bill for hundreds of dollars of storage/shipping fees, where Amazon claimed products weighing a few ounces were 72 lbs for no apparent reason. Anyhow, I'm sick of it. I'm removing everything of ours from Amazon's FBA program. But the money-grabbing continues on our way out the door. In addition to all the other fees, WE HAVE TO PAY to have our removed FBA inventory sent back to us. We can also ask them to destroy it, but that is THE VERY SAME FEE as having it returned to us. Also, the return fee is based on the weight of each individual item returned; if they charge a fee of $X to return one item, then having 30 returned is $30X. Now here's where my min-maxing heart leaps ... inexplicably, I can CHANGE THE RETURN ADDRESS FOR EACH of the manual returns. That means I can send each individual item wherever I want, and the cost to me is the same as if Amazon just carried it all to their dumpster. SO HERE'S THE FREE GAMES PART: I'd like to send each of those games/accessories to a different gamer somewhere in the USA, in full compliance with Amazon's rules and policies. Free to you! While supplies last. We've got some board games, card games, Replay Workshop accessories like condition markers and movement trays... Amazon will take its sweet time on actually delivering it, but if you e-mail me your mailing address anywhere in the USA, I will send you some free Atlas Games product. Send it by the end of Jan 2026, and feel free to mention the sort of thing you'd be interested in (or, conversely, what of our catalog you already own), but I make no promises. I'd just like to see these things go to gamers rather than be destroyed. And if you feel like giving us a review somewhere, that's great, but no obligation. -John Nephew Disgruntled Atlas Games Co-Owner

Breaking up with Amazon is hard. Ugh!
I bought a popular OB2 code reader from the manufacturer, on their Shopify site. $10 more than Amazon, and it just shipped… from China! 💔
Probs won’t come in time, so @Jillianmarisa bought the same thing from BozoCorp. Comes w/ overnight delivery. We’ll return it if/when the direct-to-consumer one arrives.
Jim#AmazonSucks I hear Amazon is getting into gourmet bottled water. Where you and I see catastrophic changes to the polar ice sheets, Jeffey sees a business opportunity.

MattyI really do not want to buy books from amazon.
But bookshop.org does not have the author I want, and it is way to expensive to get from the author's own website, as the books would be delivered from US, costing more in shipping than in products.

JM HornerSent an abuse report (including logs) to AWS about a machine on one of their IP addresses smashing my web server with requests to download various potential backup filenames. Five days later they have verified that the IP address is in fact one of theirs, and that they

Thanks for throwing all of your resources at this one AWS... you're really helping to minimize the damage your customer is trying to do. :blobcatmiddlefinger: #awssucks #amazonsucks
