It’s usually over different websites and look like different levels of quality. For example, my friend bought a part of their Halloween costume on etsy, expecting something of decent hand made quality. Instead he got something mass produced from a factory drop shipped from Amazon.

Usually people are unaware they are dealing with a dropshipper.

They offer no service or benefit. They are a needless middleman.

My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said “you belong here!”. Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening …

Mt favorite hobby. I don’t get to participate as much anymore due to my son, but I hope to get back into it one day.

I was walking past a parked cat at the hospital the other day, and the driver was all pissed because they put one of those violation stickers on it, and she was just dropping off food.
