anything electronic

it's going to just be a more expensive rebranded chinese thing that you can likely find on amazon itself under one of those random letter combination sellers for cheaper

I wouldn't trust anything off Amazon that's not name brand to be high quality tbh, every Amazon basic thing I've bought has been a flimsy pos.

headphones and hdmi cables

they're too easy to fleece people with, and the people you fleece will actively defend their experience

I got a pack of Amazon Basic 9V batteries b/c they were cheap and had great reviews. They seem to work fine.

I don't think I've been disappointed in one yet. my food scale works fine. bought a duplicate present of speakers for my nephew (his dad got them too) but apparently the non-amazon ones stopped working and the amazon ones are still working. coat hangers are ok. alen wrench set I have not actually found a use for yet. batteries are ok.

The sad thing is, at this point in our history, "name brands" aren't really a guarantee of quality either.

Everything's kind of shit now.

I bought some Amazon Basics USB cables and when I put them on a power tester, they could barely handle 0.4 Amps!

(This was over 10 years ago, so their quality may have improved)

They do make pretty good underwear, though.

hmm, I remember now that many of my forks are from them. IIRC they were good for the price, and having a lot of forks is better than having not enough forks; but I find their forks are not weighted all that great. they're nice forks, but the handle is way too heavy, so they always want to fall off of everything.
