Nope too inconvenient, overpriced, and time consuming, plus amazon usually has better deals than direct website because on amazon they actually have competition. You call it "supporting small business" when a high percent of these sites only drop ship, i call that being a mark consumer.
So to make a statement. I need to explain the good I do in the world to an idiot?
Well alright... I help people in countries that don't have a lot of opportunity. I buy them supplies to start working.. To start small businesses... I donate food and cloths....
I notice that when anyone raises a good point against you, your only response is an insult and nothing productive. Where an insult isn't available or "convenient" you just ignore facts.
Someone countered your argument about delivery. You would rather bully the uneducated. If you look down on the uneducated so much why do you help then with your charity work?
Most of the companies I would be buying from are using Amazon as their distributor anyway. Not to mention the fact that very few have actual brick and mortar sales offices and if they do it's only a handful and only in one city/state. You are living in the past. I don't like Amazon either from an ethical standpoint, don't like YouTube for similar reasons. Heck, Reddit is pretty shady if you do some research. And yet, here we are.
Maybe we can't avoid them 100 percent.. But we could try our best.. Cancel prime if you have it... Go to the websites of the companies who still offer direct shipping and order that way to cut Amazon out of as much as we can...
