It’s really quite surreal. Unless it’s a highly commoditized item, I don’t bother with Amazon anymore.

- dimva 8y agoWhat do you use instead? I'd love to be able to ditch amazon for most purchases.
- dylan604 8y agoLiterally any thing else. For photography equipment, B&H or my local camera shop. For non-Apple computer stuff, local MicroCenter, NewEgg, etc. For non-techy stuff, local stores. Even the dollar stores have laundry soap, dish soap, etc. I've actually gotten used to taking a weekend afternoon for errands or maybe in the evenings on the way home. It's a good way to just unwind from the computer for a while. There are times to avoid certain stores (Central Market on the weekend). Shopping online pretty much means being in front of the computer all of the time.
- bunderbunder 8y agoFWIW, it's still a decent place to buy books. I go to my local bookstore first, because reasons, but Amazon comes through whenever they can't source it through their distributor. But yeah, when I die, I want Amazon electronics sellers to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.
