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?

  • 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?

          • I found bike racks with the very first result. I have my card info saved through google to auto fill.

            Yall dont understand that searching on google and searching on amazon are the same step.

            • Hang on. You earlier:

              “Websites you trust”, hell are yall doing trusting Amazon.

              You now:

              I have my card info saved through google to auto fill.

              The hell you doing here trusting Google if you don't trust Amazon?
