I’ve been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.

But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?

    Only if you love long shipping times. I don’t see how warehouses or in-house logistics could be federated when there is no house, so it’d essentially just be private sellers going through traditional shipping avenues like USPS/UPS/FedEx/DHL, etc

    If that’s a trade-off you’re willing to make, though, then let’s fucken go

      That would be fine since itd take monopoly power away from amazon. Could possibly even leverage things like uber package delivery if someone in your city buys what you sell

        I can get behind this tbh. Rarely is anything so important that you need it next day. Businesses often need that, but privately, I don’t. I’m patient.

          Walmart, Target for brand name household items. BJs for bulk food. Etsy for miscellaneous small weird items, or eBay when I really want some sketchy Chinese knockoffs.
