Yesterday, was surprised to receive an e-mail from a company from which I purchased an emergency bracelet(has embedded medical data so can be scanned by a EMT) for a relative at Christmas.

The company stated they were "somewhat" anti-Amazon and though they didn't come right out and support the Amazon boycott/freezes; they gave 4 reasons they are pulling their merchandise from AMAZON FBA and selling only from their website in future. Most of reasons had to do w/ FBA fees/ pressure put on 3rd-parties by TPTB to reduce prices and worsening fulfillment. All the reasons given here by disgruntled FBA sellers.

Of course, they had no idea we're a long-time FBM 3rd party. If this is how many sellers feel, leaving altogether and vocal beyond this forum, the boycotts may gain steam.

We weren't here in 2008-2009, having begun our business over 13 years ago. Some bad times, some good( 2024 was excellent,2025 began well but March....this is a slow time for many booksellers, so can't tell if boycott is having an effect or not.. Is noticeably slower than last year.) Might be lack of economic stability, swings in stock market, as US government spending/employment is reduced w/ a meat-cleaver, not a rapier!
