If you had asked me five years ago if I'd be regularly ordering from walmart.com instead of amazon.com, I'd have thought it unlikely. But here I am -- I don't have to worry about counterfeits as long as it's sold & shipped by Walmart, and I can get same-day delivery (usually within an hour or two) for the cost of a tip. Their inventory is different (many more consumer staples, at better prices; many fewer random long-tail products), but it's replaced maybe 1/4 of my Amazon purchases. I also order from target.com once in a while; I never ever used to.

Amazon has not lost, but it is definitely losing its unique edge.

Out of sheer curiosity because it is such a different experience to mine, what are you shopping for online that you have so many returns?

Worth noting that the comment you reply to calls out buying only "sold & shipped by Walmart" items, as opposed to those from other vendors like your case.

Fair. When I bought the item I wrote about, I had no idea it wasn't direct from Walmart. IMO, as bad as Amazon does, they make who you are buying from very clear.

I bought and returned: - Meta Quest headset / it arrived in a shipping box that was dented, with the quests product box damaged, and when I went to try it the system wouldn’t launch apps - a usb memory card reader that advertised support for older Sony memory sticks but wouldn’t read them - an electric kettle that burned my hand to pour water out of at a normal angle for use and despite high reviews on the product page

Those are three examples in the last couple of months…
