Yeah it's always a sting scam π
Do you think theyβd blame you for ordering a hit on Putin?
Anything that is advertised by youtubers and podcasters. You have to be a special kind of gullible to buy from these new age door to door salesman
Maybe it depends on the podcast.
While I think you might be referring to "male enhancement pills" and crap like that, I steer clear of the kind of podcast that would even consider pushing that sort of thing, in fact find that product ecosystem kind of interesting sometimes.
So far from the type of company that advertises in this medium, I've bought underwear, a massage machine for muscle spasms, and a monthly gift box service where I've gotten some very nice articles of clothing.

I dont fuck with doordash or ubereats, try not to get pizza delivered either if I can help it. Markup is ridiculous along with expected tip.
along with expected tip.
Awful culture, where no company will pay you what you are worth.
I was more talking about how if you don't tip well enough your food may take a long while before anyone bothers accepting the trip and getting it to you, but that's also true.
exactly. pickup that stuff yourself and it's basically half-price. People who have groceries and food deliveries all the time, I'm just confused by. Like, how much money are you ok with wasting??
bro Im depressed, delivery pizza is basically the only way to keep me fed well atm
I broke my leg and the first 3 months back home I relied on delivery, Doordash cut into my savings a lot. My proximity to a grocery store with free delivery lead me to start buying groceries and planning meals, which is cool
Also taught me some perspective, a $10 pizza with a $5 delivery fee and $5 tip is still a pizza, and we have pizza at home
Anything that goes directly in or on my body unless it's bought direct from the manufacturer. You can never be 100% sure that food, supplements, shampoo, soap, etc. on amazon aren't fake/counterfeit.
I've gotten shrooms online . Worked out great ! But other than that I've never ordered anything edible online .

Bombs. The post office HATE that.
Anything I can pick up in a store, during a less than 30 minute bike ride. I live in a European city, so that means almost everything.

Anything that I can buy myself in a store. I am so. frigging. tired. of tripping over personal shoppers with monster carts. How hard can it be to let the overnight shift fill those orders?

Pants bro. I'm a dude and I got some tree trunk thighs and a big ass. I can only wear relaxed fit or classic fit, and even then they're still skinny fit.
$5 for pictures.
SD cards. They're frequently fake.
Fresh groceries is an absolute no. I always go to the market and pick out my own fruit and veggies and fish.
I do order clothes and shoes online, but never before trying them out myself and only if they don't have the color I want in stock or if it's appreciably cheaper online.
A dinosaur
Food, live plants /fish (aquariums), watercooling stuff, teas, NSFW stuff (no returns), used stuff (missing parts, or on amazon, its always defective.
I'm also souring on online deliveries. It was great in the early 10s, but now it's all low quality garbage, defective stuff that has been "returned", no name brand stuff, etc.

Fresh blackberries. I order groceries delivered most trips, and usually I've found it worth it despite the occasional issues (I don't own a car, so it adds significant convenience), but every time I've tried to order non-frozen or canned blackberries, a significant percentage have been moldy.
One time many years ago I ordered this knock off Panerai watch from a sketchy looking Chinese website. It did arrive a few weeks later, and it's actually a gorgeous self-winding piece with a window to the gears on the back. Its an awesome looking watch. But I'd never do that again.
I've learned how to order clothes this year. I was going to a wedding and was struggling to find a dress so I ordered 8 from various shops then returned the ones that didn't work. I'd previously ordered 3 and had to send all 3 back, then I ordered the 8 and found a favourite and a back up.
For obvious reasons this will remain a very infrequent plan.
Anything frozen. It arrives semi defrosted.
I don't order restaurant food or fresh/frozen grocery for delivery, that's about it really.
I do try to order from manufacturer websites when possible but on the occasions I have asked them, they say they make the same $ with Amazon fulfillment.
Lots of stuff I order online but pick up at store too. Meals, coffee, prescription drugs, wine & liquor.
Amazon often states in their agreement with sellers that the manufacturer can't sell for less than Amazon.
Amazon also scrapes sites and lowers prices automatically when other places outprice them. It was interesting seeing this happen irl at a place I used to work at
