We can (and probably should) blame Amazon, but at the end of the day it’s you and me on the end of every transaction. Consumers need to be more thoughtful about who and where they buy from, along with the consequences of their choice. I avoid Amazon at all costs. I try to shop through local suppliers (or even - gasp - in-person). I understand when I buy from smaller retailers knowing it will cost to ship and most likely take longer. As a side point, it seems crazy that the family mentioned in the article decided to abruptly stop selling through shops and suppliers? I wonder did they test their online sales first?
