Back when I originally started using Amazon it got me in the habit of not checking prices elsewhere because Amazon was usually the cheapest, and that was also before I started having to pay my states sales tax. Nowadays, I find the prices are generally not very good, not to mention all the other issues Amazon has, so I do compare prices with other sites before making any purchases. However, I imagine a lot of customers never broke their habit of just purchasing without checking elsewhere which has likely contributed to this.
- jjeaff 7y agoI find that many other sites, surprisingly, don't have anything close to the variety available for many specialty items. I recently needed some 2 part epoxy glue in larger containers. Amazon has dozens of different brands and quantities, mostly at competitive prices. I checked walmart.com and only found a few options from 3rd party sellers that was way overpriced. I even tried a few specialty sites. But no one else was even close. Kind of a sad state of affairs.
