ckf Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just went and looked at my Amazon cart for things that I had in there for m,y next order. Everything in the cart had gone up. A fertilizer that I use went from $18 to $24. A food item went from $9 to $12. Frames for my prints were $62 and now they are $71. Anyone else notice the prices of what they order going up, a lot?

They are just trying to up their profits when they know Americans are relying on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I check on there for some things I will be needing eventually and find things I can get locally much cheaper. There's a few items that are unavailable now that I need and will have to look for a different source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I had to order plastic bins for our assembly floor at work for a new cell. I looked up what we ordered the last time and they were $33 or so per 24. This time, $46 per 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought the same thing from Ebay for the regular going rate. Amazon is just taking advantage of the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s for the Americans profiting off the American companies that shifted production to China which in turn have tariffs on products originating from China to help curb the trade imbalance. It’s all quite confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the convenience of amazon and just bite the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't get any channels over the air here in the sticks so we have YouTube tv for local networks and basic cable channels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with that for the most part and pay the extra to get something in a timely fashion. I was just shocked to see something that i buy from them on a regular basis go from $15.99 the last time I bought it from them on January 6th to $25.47 now. Ebay has a bunch of sellers offering it for 17-18 dollars. Yes, I'm that frugal. I'm from New England, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
