Did You Know There Are Other Alternatives to Amazon?

I have boycotted Amazon for about 6 or 7 years now. I started out to not like how they treated their workers. I heard several bad stories. Then I started hearing how they were pushing small businesses out so they could get their business. I see how their name and business info pops up first in a lot of searches. My daughter and grandson order from them occasionally but I do not. There are plenty of alternatives. Many others still provide next day service. Such as Staples, Green fulfillment, Etsy, Sprint logistics, BestBuy, AutoZone and others. (I don't buy from BestBuy either.) Chewey and Mayfair are good ones I use too. I do my business with mostly HSN, Chewy, Etsy and local grocery delivery. I always find another way to get items other than using Amazon. I try to stay away from big business and the government as much as I can. Nowadays especially. If I can use a small business and give them my business I will. Etsy has shown themselves to be a good one for several years now. What delivery services do you use?

Amazon is what we have here, none of those you mentioned deliver here in Italy, the others are Temu and eBay. I do not order from Temu, that is a horrible site, and too many have been scammed by eBay recently.

Yes, Temu is a horrible site. A person really has to be careful nowadays.

Temu is used by millions, if not a billion, and they are far worse than Amazon.

I usually don’t use delivery. I belong to Target Circle, so I can order from them if I need to have it delivered. Lowe’s and Home Depot will deliver larger things for free, but I usually pick it up at the store.

I do use Amazon for several things. I also sometimes use Walmart. But I don't use delivery for groceries.

Even Walmart is getting bad now. Not many good choices left to us.
