> Same. I start on Google and then usually buy on Amazon.
When I said "visit the store" I meant "visit a physical shop." Amazon Basics aside, purchasing their physical products are fraught with peril. Especially with easy-to-forge high-margin products like clothing.
I have a few pairs of $40 inauthentic shorts I'd ordered off of Amazon a few years back. I realized they were fake after venturing into a physical store and seeing the difference, but I had gone years thinking Billabong had some seriously shoddy clothes.
I'm surprised we don't see more lawsuits of companies suing Amazon for peddling fakes goods and damaging their brand.
