Don't worry. Soon you'll be able to subscribe to a service where an AI will just order products you don't actually want for you.

Imo it's bearable with the ublock and 'I still don't care about cookies' extensions (Firefox) now. I kinda get the anti-bot measures on pages... bots are a pain for every page owner.
wow that seems relatively simple given a purchase was made. usually it's at least 4 more pages and verifications and codes and promos
20b : shipping is abusively eating up the low price
While it sucks, I think that's better actually. Let me cook lol
Websites that ship for free have to factor in the shipping into the item price.
Which means that if you order a lot of items at once rather than separately, you get no reward for being more sustainable.
Shipping costs ensure that people don't make inefficient, single-item orders unless they really need to.
The shitty idea is that you have to make an account and lots of jazz before they tell how much shipping is.
Also, instead of 25€ for the product and 8€ for shipping, surprise!! the 18€ product magically needs a special courier for 15€ to ship it.
After registering, verifying your email, and logging in, they say they don't ship to your country.
waits to order stuff until there's a few things needed
free shipping not available anyways unless you hit minimum order of 50.-
proceed to order 10 things at once
each thing gets shipped in a separate package, on separate dates…
even the 20x 1cm M3 screws that you originally needed come in a cardboard parcel, by themselves
packages keep arriving randomly at your place for the next 5-10 days, leaving you with a pile of cardboard
20C. Realize this is not the best price on the product. 20D1.
For i in range (your_breaking_point):
if i == your_breaking_point:
break
Return to step 1.
20D2. Get an email saying “You forgot something in your cart”
My first error was existing
Step 4 is a bit optimistic. Usually when I search something there are 30 products of what I specifically don't want before finding the single listing of what I do want.
Recent example. Needed a 8v 1A transformer
Searched AC to AC 8v 1A
Every listing on the first 3 pages were universal AC to DC adaptors that didn't have an 8v setting. the dials all went 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12.

Alternative to steps 6 through 17: refuse to use any webstore that doesn't allow for guest check-checkout.
This hurts a lot
Not gonna lie, this ain't wrong.
