    That is on third party sellers. They have to pay for warehouse space after a certain amount of time. If something isn’t selling they can pay for Amazon to ship it back or destroy it. Most sellers don’t actually have a warehouse themselves, they have their products shipped directly from the manufacturer to an Amazon warehouse.

      Sure, but I honestly don’t care much about the logistics or details of why. The underlying concept is the unnecessary waste. Whatever the reason it’s happening, I disagree with it.

        Agreed. The problem is a business like Amazon getting SO INCREDIBLY MASSIVE and yet completely neglecting the obvious problems with “Eh just destroy perfectly good stuff” being the easiest, most convenient option.

        Heck, they’re so evil I’m surprised they don’t just have a ToS that says “We sell it ourselves if you don’t wanna store it and don’t want it returned.”

        But nah, filling landfills with wrecked computers, batteries, and plastics is so much more convenient this quarter /s.

        They (amazon) need to be destroyed. We don’t want to store them here anymore.
