I haven't really stopped buying from Amazon, but I'm definitely starting to put in more effort. Just bought a comforter last week from a localish store that I found going through reddit reviews rather than buying off Amazon. Just bought some new shoes but got them from the local store and got a lot more out of being able to get properly fitted and able to talk to the guy about my issues. Still buy bits of cheap junk from Amazon, definitely if I'm thinking more along the lines of "Buy It For Life" (or just some long term durability) I'll try to get it from someone else. Also just ditched Android and Fitbit and got a new iPhone and Apple watch, pretty much decided to suck it up and join everyone else (and not a moment too soon because my Android case is starting to bulge out due to the battery again). And first impression is that they're really nice products and its worthwhile. Really wish Apple was a little more open of an ecosystem and that their products were more repairable--but for all the whinging and moaning about Apple that hits the headlines here on HN they seem to be miles better than anything else if you're just an average person.
