Amazon guts affiliate program, cuts fees for electronics in half

Speak for yourself, I guess?

What about a monitor, for example? You might be fine with what you have, but it might have been more optimal (price or performance) to buy that other one that you had no idea about.

It's also around 15 days, and a bit of effort to repackage and send via UPS, etc, for each attempt.

Are you talking about buying from Banggood or Aliexpress? If you are buying directly from China via Amazon you are doing it wrong. That is, you are overpaying for the same products that one can easily find on other channels for much less if you are willing to wait for shipping from mainland China.

Relying on return shipping a monitor to China does not seem more convenient to me than reading reviews.

>> "If you buy something from Amazon and it doesn't work in the way you want it to, return it."

I was trying to explain why this part of your comment was wrong.
