Can we start calling Amazon "AliExpress with American characteristics" now?

I can't see how this won't further undermine the value proposition of Prime, as yet more of their inventory is ineligible for "free 2-day shipping."

Amazon already undermined the value prop of prime because every single product they sell is knockoff garbage you'll be lucky if it works out of the box. Even name brand stores Amazon still ships counterfeits through. Amazon is a ridiculous waste of money these days
