The new 'Frequently returned' products/items will encourage potential buyers to do more research into said products, before they part with their money.
Amazon is starting to flag potiental buyers of ‘frequently returned’ products, via warning label, usually under 'specs' of the item on selected products, where there's a 'high number' of returns to dig a little deeper, before hitting that 'buy now' button.

sorted bySo much rubbish being sold on Amazon nowadays it is a good indicator as to whether an item is good or requires further investigation.
They also need to work on reviews. Im fed up reading someone giving a five star review but it was purchased for a gift and they haven’t used it yet!! Or conversely, the one i read the other day from someone who admitted in the review they had purchased the wrong item and gave it one star??
"5* thanks can't wait to try it" how is that helpful.
"5* item didn't arrive but seller gave refund"
"1* Excellent product but delivery took longer than expected due to Royal Mail strikes"
* (I'm guessing this system is for items sold by Amazon, not marketplace sellers which is even more of a quality minefield)
Legitimately takes a while even to find branded products when specifically searching for them. So flooded is Amazon with this.
US size 8 = UK size 6
I tends to cross check with JP size instead as they are in cm (edited)
(One memorable one was a 50cm pot I had in asterixes and in bold type saying, *this is for professional catering environments, please ensure this is suitable* - guy turned up my door and said "that's too big" - "do you have any more pots?" (as if I have a house full of them ))
Amazon don't do themselves any favours either, with contradictory or confusing listings (wrong picture / amount stated / or simply a lack of details - a size guide or details about inside leg measurement, for example, would help a lot!). (edited)
Agree, they, Amazon, do'nt do themselves any favours. The amount of things i've ordered like Choc bars x 6, and one turns up is unreal, yes you can get refunded but it can be time consuming,.
Amazon CS say they'll pass on the information, to be recitfied , but then you see it again a few weeks later.
