What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon?
I've been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.
But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?
You're viewing a single thread.
I never understood the reliance on amazon. Its the internet, every category of item you could want has a bunch of manufacturer sites dedicated to it. "Websites you trust", hell are yall doing trusting Amazon.
Ease of use. For example, if I need something odd like a rack to hang bikes in my garage, I can find and buy one in 5 minutes and go back to whatever I was going.
What makes it easier? Its online ordering, its the same for every site. Items in cart, go to checkout
Name one site off the top of your head in less than 5 seconds without googling it that you can purchase a bike rack
If im not allowed to google youre not allowed to search on amazon.
Well dude that's the point. There's one site I can go and get something name brand and it's not necessarily going to be total garbage. If you've gotta Google something, then I dunno about you, but I'm checking a sites reputation before I give them my credit card information.
Point is there are a lot more steps and it's convenient to go to that one site that I know of hand and more or less can trust to not steal my credit card information.
Otherwise you might as well just go to a store locally and purchase it, but unfortunately that isn't always an option with everything.
Theres no extra steps, and Amazon has a notoriously bad reputation both with labour ethics and scam products.
There absolutely are extra steps. And you're right it does on both accounts for the last part.
Ive explained all of the steps, you've yet to try and say what the supposed extra steps are.
Alright bud.
Here you go:
If you're using Amazon, you go to Amazon, search for a bike rack, choose a bike rack, and order it with one click.
If you're not using Amazon and you don't know where to buy a bike rack, you go to Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo/etc, search "buy bike rack online", scroll through the results, opening website after website until you find what you're looking for, add the item to your cart, go to checkout, enter your name/address/card info/PayPal/etc, and submit.
@Cheems , how'd I do?
