Amazon is just a drop shipping marketplace where everything comes direct from the exact same warehouse in China.

Not everything on Amazon ships in two days. In the picture, the dates vary quite a bit.

Because Amazon pushes sellers to use Amazon warehouses and shipping their product in advance

…so they’re not drop shipping the product to the customers.

Easy, they don’t.

One of the many reasons I canceled my prime subscription is a lot of stuff was not coming in 2 days.

Hey now. China’s been churning out much higher quality merch of late. And the American Tech Giants have been increasingly wrapped up in US trade war politics. So a lot of this shit now comes from the Philippines, India, and Bangladesh.

Exactly. Once you know about “white box” goods and the robust Chinese manufacturing chains that support it, you can’t unsee it.
What blows my mind is that Amazon is just accelerating this, and at times, embracing it with their own brand. They’ve gone from being a whole-ass shopping mall to end-of-days-K-Mart in just a few years.
