Yeah 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.
