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 go to Amazon to look at what name brands there are. Or Google. Go and order directly from the company. Their customer service is better and they usually have cheaper options. Plus if you need a modification that you didn't know existed, refer back to the the customer service part.
Plus, if you buy directly from the manufacturer, you know you're getting a legit product with a good warranty. Some brands also have stores that double as service centers. If I order Nikes and they don't fit, I can return them to the local Nike store. Many offer free shipping just like Amazon, easy returns, better color choices and no creepy tracking or crazy knockoffs.
Returns is the whole reason I stopped using Amazon. They sent me a pressure washer without a gun to use the pressure washer. I called customer service and asked them to send me just the gun end. It's this part number on your site.
They said ok and shipped it. They insisted for weeks that they delivered it and I told them they did not. I live on my own (just my young son and dog at the time) and no roommates. Plus I have a ring doorbell. It was a whole fiasco. Where I drew the line is they accused me of taking it without telling them. It was a 20 dollar part.
Amazon entirely dominated by white label products from Alibaba, though. Where are you going to find a WXTMO Potato Peeler for cheaper and with better service?
I just skip amazon entirely. The search really isn't useful anymore.
What is your time worth for some cheap potato peeler? I just go to Target and pay the extra dollar. I have it that day and if there is a problem it isn't hard to replace it.
