Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy...

Amazon caught colluding with other companies to fix prices of popular products sold online “Amazon is working with retailers including Target, Walmart, Chewy, Levi Strauss, Best Buy and Home Depot to raise prices” Private messages sent by Amazon threatening companies to change prices on different sites “In one example, he claims Amazon sent Levi Strauss links to khaki pants being sold for lower prices on Walmart. com. In the message, Amazon allegedly said it hoped these can get resolved over the next few days. The next day. According to the Attorney General, Levi Strauss reported back to Amazon saying it had spoken to Walmart and Walmart had partnered with us to raise the khaki's price up to $29.99 immediately In another example, Amazon allegedly emailed pet treat manufacturer Chewy a list of products with price increases to convince the vendor Chewy should be aware of this update and follow suit accordingly. Two days later, the Attorney General's office claims the prices that went up on Amazon immediately went up on Chewy These were not suggestions. They were directives, often backed by threats of penalties if vendors failed to comply.” We won’t have real capitalism in America. We have giant monopolies that own and control everything Crimes like this should bring $100+ million dollar fines per corporation and prison time under the Sherman Act I doubt anything will happen. Nobody ever goes to jail One Big Club

This is not fair Andy Jassy cc Jeff Bezos Amazon is charging my company money to answer customer questions and then directing our customers to inferior competitor products who have paid Amazon. We never signed up for Rufus ads. The customer is already on the Amazon page for Brain Flakes. We may have even already paid for an ad for them to get there. And then Amazon shows them an ad designed to answer questions that are already answered by us directly on the page they are on? And then Amazon sends them to another “brand” which is advertising on our product page. Look, I get it. Amazon is a big company with lots of people, lots of teams, and lots of AI, but you can’t keep doing this. You have to rethink your approach. The more you squeeze sellers, the higher prices will go on Amazon, because we don’t have the margins that you do (or the access to capital). This combined with Amazon’s market share and pricing policies mean that when you force us to raise prices by raising our costs, pricing across the entire ecommerce ecosystem rise. In other words, all Americans pay more when shopping online. You need to rethink these policies and the endless backdoor price increases. Thank you

FTC documents show Pepsi is price fixing The FTC looked at internal emails with Pepsi and Walmart, they found they act as one company and Pepsi even takes action against grocery stores and other chains like Target if they price Pepsi as cheaply as Walmart does “The FTC looked at a bunch of internal Pepsi emails and communications. The executives at Pepsi would talk about Walmart's prices as our prices. As if this is, this is all one big company — Big rivals like Target, small mom and pop shops, regional chains, everywhere it could keep an eye on it, it did. And where it found that Pepsi prices in those other stores were getting low enough to really compete with Walmart, with all of the discounts and all of the other things that it was giving Walmart, it took action against those other stores. What does that look like? It reduced their deals, it reduced the discounts they were giving these other retailers. It even increased their wholesale prices, started to kind of ratchet it up more and more every year so that the price of Pepsi products at every other store that wasn't a Walmart were artificially higher for the consumer than they would have been if there was actual competition between Walmart and these stores. These stores wanted to push the prices down, but Pepsi simply wouldn't let them by charging them more” This is price fixing and illegal

Americans buy 25% of their groceries at Walmart but the idea that Walmart has the lowest prices because of purchasing power, might only be partially true. According to a recent, unsealed federal lawsuit, Walmart used its status as best customer to influence Pepsi into surveilling and forcing Walmart competitors to RAISE their prices so that it was impossible for them to sell Pepsi for less than Walmart did. "It's hard to imagine that Pepsi is the only major supplier Walmart has this arrangement with." Is it legal? Not at all. But our government turned a blind eye to it. Source: perfectunion and ericgardner1 I'll post the full video below.

This woman shares why she and her family decided to cancel their Amazon Prime membership. She explains that shipping is no longer the fast, reliable service it once was (with frequent delays, lost packages, and “sorry, it’ll be here tomorrow” updates), Prime Video now comes with more ads than it used to, and after price-checking, many items are simply cheaper at places like Walmart or Sam’s Club. This really got me thinking about my own subscriptions. Amazon Prime is now $139 a year while Walmart+ is just $98. Perks like Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Music have to be added on and paid for separately. If those were actually bundled into the yearly subscription, it might feel worth keeping… but right now it just doesn’t add up the way it used to. Have you ever canceled a subscription like Amazon Prime when you realized the value just wasn’t there anymore?

Walmart and Pepsi caught price fixing (with proof) “Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices” “They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell items at a lower psice than Walmart” There are court documents from a lawsuit the federal government filed that shows this is exactly what’s happening “Independent grocers have been trying to figure out why this is happening for years. It doesn't add up. They'd lose money on almost every sale if they matched Walmart's prices. Well, the answer is in these two documents. Documents that were recently unsealed after the government tried to bury them. The evidence that's in there is explosive. I mean, it's just, it was beyond what I was expecting.”

This is the best presentation ever given about Amazon's retail business. If you own the stock, if you're thinking about owning the stock, if you are a prime member, or if you care about the future of ecommerce, you need to watch this video. In it, I make 12 predictions about Amazon's future and tell you why I'm qualified to do so. 1. How will the new CEO run Amazon? 2. Will Amazon be getting better or worse? 3. Will Amazon be able to take over the 3rd party warehousing market? 4. Will Amazon's Temu competitor "Amazon Haul" work? 5. What will Amazon's competitive landscape look like with China's Temu, TikTok, and Shein? 6. Will Chinese sellers take over on Amazon? 7. What do Walmart, Target, and eBay have to say about all this? 8. What's the future of e-commerce search amidst conversational AI? 9. Will Amazon lose its monopoly case against the FTC? 10. Will Amazon be broken up? 11. Will Amazon be able to continue to grow Prime customers? 12. Will fraud on the Amazon platform rise? And then finally, I will tell you how US e-commerce sellers can adapt to this future (it's bleak right now, but there are some unexpected glimmers of hope). I have a e-com crystal ball and I am not afraid to use it to tell you my contrarian but right predictions for where Amazon (and America) are headed. Buckle up and watch the best Amazon retail presentation you have ever seen. In the next tweet, I will provide a Yootube link as well as links to the AMZ Innovate conference (which I have zero financial relationship with) and links to my company's websites where you can buy our products FOR LESS THAN AMAZON and support me and my team for keeping it real about this giant company that accounts for ~80% of revenue. Thank you and enjoy! 👇

American went to the Farmers Market in Bloomington, Indiana “I just found out that the city of Bloomington, if they find out that these farmers at the farmer's market are selling their products for less than BlackRock stores like Kroger and Walmart, they get fined” “The city of Bloomington literally tells them, this is how much minimum you have to charge for your product” I couldn’t find anything verifying this but this is insane if true. It might be some kind of secret non-public arrangement with the market This also wouldn’t be shocking as Amazon just got caught dictating prices of other retailers And, Walmart and Kroger both have BlackRock as a major shareholders (not primary owners), So his story does have some truth to it

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Stephen Miller just totally dismantled the entire notion of Amazon putting "tariff adjustment" disclaimers on their products [which is not happening now]. "Why would Amazon, of all the different things that go into a theoretical price input - for example, does Amazon list the cost of California's regulation of everything made in California? Anything you make in California, you have a MASSIVE price increase, because of the healthcare regulations... because of the labor regulations... because of the subsidies that go to illegal aliens in that state, because of all the bureaucracy." "Anything being produced in California has a massive built-in price hike. So why wouldn't Amazon have a list saying if you purchase it in California instead of in Alabama, this is the premium that you pay?" "This was a clear attempt by whoever proposed it originally - I don't know - because Amazon says they were never going to do it... to try to undermine our trade negotiations with China." "There's been many complaints about the fact that there are lot of products that are sold on Amazon that are actually rip-offs of American products that are then stolen by China, and then they take RIP and they put them into products to try to undersell our manufacturer." "I would say that would be the most significant one to fix - is making sure we're not undercutting American consumers." 👏 Stephen Miller

Third party sellers are beginning to feel the pinch from Amazon scams. People are purchasing items on Amazon, then they request a refund and make up some excuse as why they want their money back. What they do is, they send an old item back because they don’t think anyone really checks the returns, and they end up keeping the item that was sent to them. Essentially they are getting it for free because they got it refunded. What they don’t know is many of the items being purchased on Amazon, aren’t from Amazon, but from third party small business’s like this woman. Should Amazon start paying attention to what’s being sent back and only issue the refunds once the return has been verified, and should these people who do this be banned from buying from these online stores like Amazon?

If you're an Amazon India customer, take 2 mins to read this if your money is dear to you. TLDR version, Amazon delivery partners are literally scamming customers. And Amazon India will do nothing to help you in this situation. Kiss your money goodbye! I raised this concern on social media a few days back, for a product (Levi's jeans) which was marked as delivered but I never received it. Their customer support team, did some investigation and came to the conclusion that the product was indeed delivered. Hence, they cannot do anything more to assist me in this situation (refer image) This was not a OTP based delivery, and neither does Amazon mention the name of the person who received the product on their app/website. If it was OTP based delivery, I would know someone has given the OTP so delivery has happened. With a name, at least I would know if there's any person with that name in the house. Now, I have absolutely no way to confirm if Amazon genuinely delivered the product. Except video camera evidence. So I went to see the CCTV footage of the day and time the product was marked as delivered. In the CCTV footage, I see something very strange. The Amazon delivery partner arrives at my place, gets off the bike, takes out the product and for the next couple of mins just keeps doing something on his phone. He doesn't call me, or at least I don't have any call record of calls at that time. In the meanwhile, another person walking out closes the door. That person is not me, neither works for me and neither known to me. Likely associated with a neighbour/tenant and I have no such instructions for my Amazon account for deliveries to be left with anyone else. One minute later the Amazon delivery partner decides to leave (see screenshot). The delivery partner doesn't even enter the house and just leaves after a couple of mins. Without even entering the house, Amazon successfully delivered the product! Wow! And if the delivery partner handed the product to any random person walking out of the house, is that the customer's problem? Was this a very expensive product? No, not at all. So why am I spending all this time to write this? 1. I just want to spread awareness to everyone out there who might be getting scammed by such malpractices from Amazon / delivery partners. 2. If Amazon claims a product is delivered, you can't do nothing about it. Irrespective of whether the product was actually delivered or not. Your money is gone, poof! 3. It should be the company's responsibility to prove that a product was successfully delivered but in India it seems anyone can walk over their customers. 4. I'm shocked that a customer has to go to these lengths to uncover such scams in India 5. If ordering on Amazon, I will always select cash on delivery as the default going forward Amazon India - Do not contact me in hope that I will delete this tweet or evidence now! PS: Video doesn't have the date/time stamp as aspect ratio has been cropped. Will only share that with company officials if someone from Amazon wants to see it. Or with consumer courts if I decide to pursue this further, definitely not worth my time for now. But in the US, I would have definitely filed a lawsuit for millions.

Likely associated with a neighbour/tenant and I have no such instructions for my Amazon account for deliveries to be left with anyone else. One minute later the Amazon delivery partner decides to leave (see screenshot). The delivery partner doesn't even enter the house and just leaves after a couple of mins. Without even entering the house, Amazon successfully delivered the product! Wow! And if the delivery partner handed the product to any random person walking out of the house, is that the customer's problem? Was this a very expensive product? No, not at all. So why am I spending all this time to write this? 1. I just want to spread awareness to everyone out there who might be getting scammed by such malpractices from Amazon / delivery partners. 2. If Amazon claims a product is delivered, you can't do nothing about it. Irrespective of whether the product was actually delivered or not. Your money is gone, poof! 3. It should be the company's responsibility to prove that a product was successfully delivered but in India it seems anyone can walk over their customers. 4. I'm shocked that a customer has to go to these lengths to uncover such scams in India 5. If ordering on Amazon, I will always select cash on delivery as the default going forward Amazon India - Do not contact me in hope that I will delete this tweet or evidence now! PS: Video doesn't have the date/time stamp as aspect ratio has been cropped. Will only share that with company officials if someone from Amazon wants to see it. Or with consumer courts if I decide to pursue this further, definitely not worth my time for now. But in the US, I would have definitely filed a lawsuit for millions.

This Walmart pallet drop was part of our test run — and the first one just landed at 4651 Firestone Blvd South Gate, CA 90280 😎 If you’re in the area, every can of Goode Foods veggies is only $1.24, so make sure you stock up while they’re out on the floor. 🥫 To see all the Walmart locations that carry our brand nationwide, check the store locator. And if your Walmart doesn’t have Goode Foods yet, you can download the product request form and hand it to your store director so they can bring us in. 🤍 #walmart #walmartfinds

🛒 Why is Walmart ripping the price tags off almost every piece of clothing? This woman is walking through the store and discovers that nearly all the price tags have been completely removed. She asks a vendor working the floor, and she confirms: “Yeah, every time a new truck comes in, employees have to rip all the prices off.” Now shoppers have to scan every single item with the Walmart app just to see how much anything costs. It seems like Walmart is only doing this to the fashion/clothing department — shirts, pants, jeans, underwear, kids’ clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. I’m so confused why they’re doing this — who else has noticed this at their Walmart?

🚨 SHE JUST DISCOVERED THE DUMBEST PRICING GLITCH IN AMERICA - AND WALMART CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN IT. This woman went to Walmart to grab the ink she always buys. It used to be around $40. Today? $79. Same box. Same ink. Then she checks the shelf and sees the entire printer - which comes with that same $79 ink already inside - selling for $64. So the hardware plus the ink is cheaper than the ink alone. She shows customer service the $33 online price and asks them to match it. They tell her: “We don’t honor online pricing. We want people buying online, not in-store.” So Walmart won’t match their own website…the ink costs more than the printer…and she’s left trying to make sense of a system that clearly doesn’t. Does ANY part of this make sense to you?

There's a reason Walmart's Vizio TVs are so cheap. Walmart paid $2.3 billion to put advertisers in your living room. Every new Vizio will not turn on without a Walmart account. Walmart paid $2.3 billion in December 2024 for the right to make that the rule. The TV was never the product. Vizio's hardware business runs at a wash. The Platform+ segment, which is essentially advertising and ACR data, accounted for all of Vizio's gross profit in the years before the deal. The TVs themselves were the customer acquisition cost. Walmart bought 19 million active SmartCast accounts. That base grew about 400% from 2018 to 2024. Every account is a household with a screen pointed at the couch every night. The mechanism is automatic content recognition. The TV reads frames from whatever you're watching and matches them against a database. Cable box, game console, DVD, the Walmart app on your phone over the same Wi-Fi. The source doesn't matter. The screen is the sensor. In March 2026, Walmart announced the account requirement at IAB NewFronts and turned on the flywheel. 19 million viewing households on one side. About 150 million weekly Walmart shoppers on the other. Run them against each other and you get closed-loop attribution: saw the ad, drove to the store, bought the product. CMOs have been trying to build that for 30 years. The comparison is Amazon. Amazon ran $68 billion of advertising in 2025, roughly 8% of its $830 billion in GMV. Walmart did $6.4 billion against $713 billion in sales. That's 1%. Same playbook, $50 billion of headroom. The margin gap is the punchline. Selling a TV nets low single digits. Selling an ad against that TV's viewing data clears 70%. $2.3 billion divided by 19 million households is $121 per living room. The TV is the cheapest thing Walmart has ever sold you.

BREAKING: President Trump on Truth Social: “Great news! I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration's request to celebrate our great Country's 250th birthday. Walmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products. This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A. My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures. Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too, just like egg and Prescription Drug prices which I am bringing down by historic levels. Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Marc Andreessen: “I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.” “We spend a lot of time working with our companies on pricing,” a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen explains. “It’s really this magical art and science that a lot of companies don’t take seriously enough.” Marc continues: “A core principle of pricing is that you don’t want to price by cost if you can avoid it. You want to price by value. Especially when you’re selling to businesses, you want to price as a percentage of the business value you’re creating.” He gives the example of building an AI that can do the job of a programmer, a lawyer, or a radiologist: “Can you price by value and get a percentage of what otherwise would’ve literally been a person? Or equivalently can you price by marginal productivity? If you can take a human doctor and make them much more productive because you give them AI, can you price as a percentage of the productivity uplift?” Marc argues that high prices are under-appreciated by founders: “The naive view on pricing is the lower the pricing, the better it is for the customer. The more sophisticated way of looking at it is that higher prices are often good for the customer because the higher price means the vendor can make the product better, faster. Companies with higher prices and higher margins can actually invest more in R&D and make the product better. Most people who buy things aren’t just looking for the cheapest price. They want something that’s going to work really well.” Marc also emphasizes this point in an interview in Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook: “What I hear from companies is, ‘Oh, we have an awesome moat, and we’re still going to price our product cheap, because we think that’s somehow going to maximize our business.’ I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. First of all, raising prices is a great way to flesh out whether you actually do have a moat. If you do have a moat, the customers will still buy, because they have to. The definition of a moat is the ability to charge more. And so number one, it’s just a good way to flesh out that topic and really expose it to sunlight. And then number two, companies that charge more can better fund both their distribution efforts and their ongoing R&D efforts. Charging more is a key lever to be able to grow. And the companies that charge more therefore tend to grow faster. That’s counterintuitive to a lot of engineers. A lot of engineers think there’s a one-dimensional relationship between price and value. They have this mental model of commerce like they’re selling rice or something. It’s like, “My product is magical and nobody can replicate it, and I need to price it like it’s a commodity.” No, you don’t. In fact, quite the opposite. If you price it high, then you can fund a much more expensive sales and marketing effort, which means you’re much more likely to win the market, which means you’re much more likely to be able afford to do all the R&D and acquisitions you’re going to want to do. And so we always try to snap people into a two-dimensional mindset, where higher prices equals faster growth.” Video source: a16z (2026)
