Yes but I don't want to type my billing details every time I need some thing. I don't want to wait 6 weeks. I don't know if other sites are reputable. I don't want to pay shipping. I like being able to wishlist stuff or store stuff in my cart for later and read lots of reviews on products (I'm aware many are fake).
There's also the fact that nearly every website runs on AWS, so even if I boycott Amazon (I'm sure they'll miss my $100 a month in purchases), I'm still providing them money by visiting the sites that are hosted on AWS. Pretty hard to completely avoid them in this day and age.
Amazon for me has been utter garbage in the last 10 years. Fake products, stuff that is supposedly coming next day comes in 3+ days, customer service is some copy/paste canned answers etc
We order a lot of baby stuff on there. They’ve accepted returns on everything that didn’t work or wasn’t what we anticipated. We can walk to a UPS store from our house and drop it off. Anecdotally, they also have the best deals about 50% of the time on PCPartPicker.
It does take longer to fulfill some orders for us. But others show up a day or three early even though we don’t pay for Prime. I used to work for the post office before they switched to their own delivery, and they would drop off their pallets to us in the mornings to be taken out for the last mile by our carriers. It seemed like that was a better experience. It has definitely enshittified somewhat since their golden days.
