For me it's been:
- NewEgg for electronics
- Walmart/Target. You have to be careful with walmart as that they have an open market place
- Aliexpress for assorted small things that I can wait on
- Abebooks (although they're owned by amazon :( ) for used books
- Vitacost (owned by koger) for supplements/vitimins etc
I've gone through 2018, 2019, and 2020 so far without placing a single Amazon order.
- jfim 7y agoWalmart has an option to filter by retailer, so one can do a search, then filter by retailer "walmart.com," which avoids third party vendors. It's a bit annoying to have to do this on every search, though.
- noisy_boy 7y agoI like Aliexpress because most of the times I can even chat with the manufacturer/distributor themselves and clarify doubts/discuss specific requirements. Also, most of the times, the senders (based on their address) seem to be local distributors/traders and sometimes manufacturers - feels more direct (even though I guess that the websites have their cut / the guy working hard on it maybe gets only a small percentage).
