I find it mildly infuriating that people still buy on Amazon ๐Ÿ˜…

It shouldn't be on the individual consumers to avoid monopolies; we need antitrust enforcement; we need to break up Amazon.

It shouldn't be indeed, but unfortunately it is. We can't just hide our personal responsibility behind the State when the State is deficient.

There are certain things I can't get anywhere near me from anyone other than Amazon, and I live in a city of 6 million people. Sadly I need to use Amazon about once a month. Getting groceries from them is ridiculous though.

Aren't there any online shopping alternatives to amazon? Are they really the only online vendor who is allowed to mail stuff to your 6 million people city?

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not ones that can get me the things I need within the month.

Nah you're just bad at online shopping.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, some shit would take weeks to get to me from the few other alternate vendors, and I;m not waiting that long.

I think you just proved their point lol.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hey, if anyone else or any store can get me the things I need within the week I 100% go there. but no one else is stocking specific temperature controllers anywhere near me. I can't get 3D printer resin anywhere that isn't a 40 minute drive away. Specific wiring I need, AliExpress is the only other company with it. Amazon stocks a lot of niche things that no one else is carrying.

Same. I also used to have a great store near me that carried random electronic parts, motors, hobby shit, bits of hardware. Any time I needed to fix something, or wanted to make a little device I could go there for supplies. RIP Active Surplus.

I really wish I had a store like that near me. I hate being in the middle of a project and having to wait 2+ days to finish it if I end up needing something. There's a microcenter location that's supposed to open near me within a few years, which will be nice
