- gen3 7y agoI'm curious how it even totaled 370k. Returning enough items to get that high should set off alarms!
- quickthrower2 7y agoForget returning that much. Even just spending that much at Amazon to begin with should set off an alarms, e.g. is this a stolen card? money laundering?
- gingabriska 7y agoNo way, I've spent that much on Amazon and I buy nearly everything on Amazon. Pretty sure there are many others who shop at that level or beyond.
- quickthrower2 7y agoYou could buy a house with what you’ve spent on Amazon!
- gingabriska 7y agoDue to scale and efficiency, they simply operate via check list approach. When I had an ecom company, a line worker used to check the package content and appearance (dents/scratches) and then he would measure it on a scale and check with the package's recorded weight before it was dispatched and algorithm would flag the orders where weight varied more than some specific ratio. It was pretty rudimentary but worked at scale just fine. Now, Amazon must also be using something like this.
- ryacko 7y agoThis is the same problem that Archimedes was trying to solve. Except now we have radar and 3D imaging. Is Amazon actually involved in technology?
- ryanlol 7y agoBecause he most likely used tens if not hundreds of accounts to accomplish this.
