Target and Best Buy are some of my main go-to's for avoiding Amazon, especially for video games or tech (obviously). They really do offer good experiences in general, but you're right, they can't compete on certain aspects and on other aspects, they're still more painful than they have to be
- nebula8804 5y agoYeah I try to make it work as much as I can but man let me tell you, it is HARD to let go of Amazon. Other than big ticket name brand items, I get a subpar experience with all these other stores. Wish there was a proper "aggregator" that would give me live stock and price data so when I need an item, I can just know which is the closest place that has it and then I am off on my way. Furthermore, it would be wonderful if there was a third party service providing "delivery as a service" to all of these companies so that you can try to achieve something competitive with Amazon. Right now we just have a hodgepodge of mediocre companies all along the stack: stores, payments, distribution and shipping. Its like the common wisdom of capitalism has failed. Usually large companies become slow moving laggards but Amazon has shown that a large company can really keep competing and the smaller firms are the laggards.
