Notch quickie prices

Well, as we live in a world where Amazon sells 2nd-rate Nexium--discovered when it didn't work, and confirmed through product comments and questions on the Amazon site--I'm not sure I'd trust my life to the cheaper Quickie versions.

Perhaps Notch would like to chime in here to confirm that all products out there are the best they make.

Please elaborate on this Nexium. Are they Notch factory rejects? Are they made on the same Chinese machines in the same factory but sold under a different name?

Nexium is a heart burn med.

Yes, Nexium (heart-burn medication) is just an example. When I sent the Nexium back to Amazon and wrote an honest review, the drug's manufacturer responded with a phone number that I should call (I did not bother). What they did not do was unequivocally state that ALL Nexium sold ANYWHERE is of the same quality. Meanwhile, many customers agreed with my Amazon product review: https://www.amazon.com/product-revi...r&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar

My point is that Amazon and stores like Home Depot have been known to act as clearing houses for products that may be less than first quality. If a pharmaceutical company is willing to sell crap (fake medicine that actually causes unnecessary human suffering) under its brand, I'm sure others might do the same.

I'm in no way stating that Notch does any of this, and I give them the benefit of the doubt. But I must wonder why anyone would sell their $50 products for $35 elsewhere (while giving Amazon a percentage of their profits to boot)? It would be great to understand why vendor/manufacturers might choose to do that.

It’s also possible they were put on Amazon during the time they were cheaper and the prices didn’t go up when they did at arborist distribution companies?

Likely. It happens this way a lot. Another fun observation- When hikes are about to happen, the old price is listed as a sale price and the new hike is struck through. But that’s usually on the home site. When the old stock is sold out, the “sale” ends.
