If I'm shopping at a retail store, even Walmart, there is a certain floor I expect to the quality of goods. If I move up to Target or a Ralph Lauren store that expectation goes up. Someone somewhere that cares about the brand has made some kind of attempt to vet the product. That's not always a guarantee of the best product but a brand that isn't in a death spiral has some incentive to protect their brand.

I've significantly reduced my spending on Amazon, do not plan on renewing Prime this year, and would never use Temu because there is just too high a chance of getting bottom of the barrel crap from a nonsensically named Chinese company that will shut down and restart with a new name after it becomes obvious they sell only garbage.

You get some companies like Anker that are rising above the crap but I don't have the time to learn about the few Chinese companies doing good by the consumers and don't want to have to spend hours vetting whether my tooth brush holder has lead or the brushes will tip over because it's not actually tall enough to properly hold a toothbrush. I'll just buy from Target.

If I'm going to roll the dice or know of a trustworthy brand from China I'll just use AliExpress.
