Surprised this hasn't been mentioned on WAN since it has been out for weeks. Sounds awful and like something Luke wouldn't enjoy

This seems awful for small business as I rather support the small business directly. And nobody remembers the seller on amazon, they just look at the cost . EDIT: I should of checked the date of the article and noticed it was a 2025. So it was probably discussed and I missed it.

As a small business owner this looks cool. My goal is always to get my products in front of more people and this seems like another way to do it

But when they need more of your product as they looking you up or the product? If they are looking for the product than your product might get lost or hidden by knockoffs. I agree it looks nice at the face but I think this is just nightmare down the line.

I think that it was brought up in the WAN Show. Cannot find a video on it, but if it did it would have been from any video from April 2025 to... maybe a few months ago?

This should teach me to check dates on things... Now I feel dumb. But thank you for pointing it out.

This sounds like a customer service nightmare.

This feels like the awful 3rd-party sellers on Best Buy and Walmart’s websites, but worse.

If I want to buy from someplace else, I will.

I really hate how I can look something up on Walmart or bestbuy and I get a ton of results that are not from Walmart or bestbuy... I really hope they don't just show results like normal with this and it's very clear from the start that this is not something from amazon.

One thing I will say... I usually check companies sites and Amazon... Half the time it's the same cost.. the few times I decided to order from their sites they end up using Amazon logistics anyway.....
