Stolen Goods On Amazon? Shoppers Won't Care, Experts Say
AppleMagazine
|August 09, 2019
News of an alleged Amazon theft ring involving contract delivery drivers is unlikely to make a dent in the online shopping giant’s massive business.
-
But it may make people warier of letting deliveries into their house when they aren’t there — a nascent project from both Amazon and Walmart.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH AMAZON?
The theft ring, according to an FBI search warrant affidavit, involved Amazon contract drivers stealing items that were being shipped to customers or returns. Then they resold them to pawn shops, which shipped the items to Amazon warehouses and resold them on Amazon’s sites using the sellers “Bestforyouall” or “Freeshipforyou.” No charges have been filed yet.
WILL PEOPLE STOP SHOPPING AT AMAZON?
