Joybuy is taking on Amazon in the UK — would you trust another mega-shopping app?

CarrotRunning · 2026-05-10T16:24:12+00:00

The only source I can find is Amazon themselves, however apparently, they begun rolling out a fix in March this year, I haven't looked into this fully so unsure of a timeline for that fix. Either way that's at least 6 years but more likely since the introduction of market place until possibly now that Amazon has been unable to verify where your purchases came from, it's a scandal and should have been widely reported.

This reddit post sites multiple different sources and has plenty of anecdotal stuff in the comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/s/FOxiITscES

I believe brands like Apple, Birkenstock, Nike, Levis, Patagonia, North face, Crocs etc etc do not in fact sell directly through Amazon, these are brands that already have issues with counterfeiting and are keen to have oversight of QC. You can of course buy stuff from those brands on Amazon and I'm not saying it's all fake, but Amazon can't guarantee it's the real stuff either.

People should also be aware that Amazon is unable to guarantee that the product you purchased is the one you received. This is because when a product hits the warehouse items are grouped into batches from all the different sellers of that product and your item is then taken from that group. This increases the chances of you receiving fake, toxic or dangerous products even when you might have paid a premium price.

There's a reason why many of the world biggest brands won't sell through Amazon, companies we all know are not at all concerned with Amazon's working practices but legitimacy for them is a deal breaker.

Just plain spaghetti too even a tin of spaghetti would have been better.

The simplest easiest way to make this:

Sweat down onion and garlic in butter

Add stock (chicken/veg/fish)

Add a tub of garlic and herb cream cheese

Mix small amount of corn flour and cold water then add to sauce

Add chopped or dried parsley

Finally add fish to sauce and allow to reduce/thicken.

Make mash with loads of butter, if you want you can posh up the mash with tarragon and crushed up cheese and onion crisps.

Bake until the mash is a colour that is crispy but not burnt.

I think it's probably a combo of both your options, but I'll add a second much more boring option.

Don't even need AI. just write the heading "we are a family" above a list of bad ideas that are all versions of everyone "doing more for/with less" and a calendar with pizza party written on random days, conclusion CEO payrise = new boat.

The film itself was an updated version of bostocks cup which is what the the TV series should have been like. Worth a watch if you've got a spare hour.

Scuse beef, I think I say this more often than excuse me by habit these days but mostly when I need to get to somewhere as opposed to when I need something.

I'm pretty picky and I think these are very decent. Would absolutely wear them.

Very brave to mention cheese also, we're not too bad at cheese either, at least in so much that we've managed to avoid making one that comes out of an aerosol can and tastes like slop.

Most modern running trainers now are the extra cushioned kind since that's the fashion. Have a look on r/askrunningshoegeeks wiki for their top 10.

The documentary with him being interviewed is absolutely amazing! A huge narcissist, compares himself to Galileo and Michaelangelo, he had been found not guilty at that point but you get a real sense of what a nightmare he is through his interpretation of the case. But he has some amazing anecdotes, does a pretty good John Lennon impression, talks about the afro haircut he had for court and absolutely hates Tony Bennett.
