Amazon is my last resort nowadays, because some things are only sold there and on alibaba. If I only find a thing I want on amazon, I'll search again for the vendor name to see if they have a site of their own and if so buy it there instead It does help me buy less stuff because the process is so annoying nowadays

    They can sell on their own site. It's a choice but a logical one for many.
