This is a weird comparison, there are other online vendors except for Amazon. In fact, one of the reasons I don't use Amazon is because I value my time, if I search for something specific e.g. a particular phone model, I don't want to wade through several pages of results with screen protectors. Amazon has the worst search of all online shops I know, by a huge margin.
- WalterBright 3y agoI prefer to buy electronics from newegg.com, but I have to wait for the deliveries.
- NavinF 3y agoYou kinda glossed over "it drops on my doorstep, sometimes even that evening". Only a few other sites (Costco+Instacart, Walmart, Apple, etc) offer same day delivery. Their search engines are almost as bad as Amazon's.
- dontlaugh 3y agoNobody needs same day delivery for general items. Waiting a few days is ok.
- NavinF 3y agoThat's certainly a take lol. Funny how Amazon dominates the retail space despite nobody needing same day delivery. I used to pay $60 per order for overnight delivery from electronics distributors. Same-day is faster and almost free. Life is good :)
- dotancohen 3y agoWhat other retailers do you recommend? Especially for non-electronics.
- Blackthorn 3y agoI buy most industrial-related things on Zoro (owned by Grainger).
- octacat 3y agoThere are, once I tried a trusted shop I've used a couple of years ago. They made me wait one week to dispatch the item. Instead of using allegro.pl (aka amazon for Poland) which had the next day delivery for the same item. The platforms make the sellers to dispatch stuff in the time period they've listed in the description.
