I just want country of origin listed somewhere. There's a big difference between shipping from Michigan to California versus Hong Kong and California. Shipping estimates have been really wrong since before the pandemic.

Maybe put flags next to brand nanes in filters? I don't recognize 90% of the brands on Amazon and that filter is useless to me, unless I could tell is was a domestic or foreign brand. Again, just trying to determine if I can wait 2 weeks or 2 months for things like birthday gifts.



Not sure why you are bringing up Hong Kong on this, most unknown brand names on Amazon are Chinese companies selling Chinese products marked up by 300% to Western customers who are unable to notice the red flags.

Then again, it is not so different for Chinese companies to register in US and continue their scam anyway.


I assume you’re talking about shipping origin? eBay lists shipping country and city of origin on the product page. You can even search by closest distance.
