Birkenstock quits Amazon in US after counterfeit surge

Amazon destroying companies as they drive the costs down, and the Chinese
are racking up with making knock-offs!

"The story included reference to Birkenstock, which has seen legions of
Chinese sellers promoting its flagship Arizona sandal for $79.99, or $20

Kahan wrote that since joining the company three years ago, he has presented
numerous "'out-of-the-box' ideas to Amazon management in an effort to
maintain a fair and competitive environment for all."

the online retailer's effort to be the one-stop shop for anything and
everything."
