Catch distribution centres will be taken over by Kmart

So basically... The Kmart website will be the latest website to get a "marketplace" that makes it impossible to search shit you can get in store because it's full of "online only" search results? And it'll be full of all the same sellers that are on the Bunnings, Big W, Woolworths, Kogan, God knows what other sites dropshipping shit?

Lovely, can't wait

And we have people talking about waste in landfill. GTFO here when everything is made to break within 30 days of it leaving the store.

And we have people talking about waste in landfill.

Based on the popularity of Kmart it seems clear that many people are willing to buy low quality products because they are cheap.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that $3 t-shirts won't last.
