Amazon just sent us an actual paper catalog in the mail for clothing and gifts. Web shopping killed catalogs and now the biggest online store is sending me catalogs.

I think it’s an admission their site is an un-curated mess. but come on, are paper catalogs really the best solution Amazon came up with for their online store being cluttered, useless for product discovery, and overrun by poor quality products and fakes?

I sometimes feel like it is only me that suffers this - finding anything of quality on amazon is a pain. Unless I know the exact model number, chances are I'll be sold low quality stuff. I want some wine glasses, picture looks OK, reviews seem good - turn up - junk. I want to find a monitor - good luck! I want to find some light bulbs... Erm yeah, same.

Time was it was good as you knew it was cheaper than most places but that is generally totally not true now.
