…i place amazon orders maybe a half-dozen times per year, typically hard-to-find specialty items from manufacturers who only offer an amazon storefront…

Quickest solution? Stop buying from Amazon. I quit cold turkey and the sky does not fall. I still buy what I need. I am sometimes saved from buying stuff that I don’t really need but was easily available. Just stop buying from them. They are the evil capitalism that everyone complains about.

Not possible for some people, for example I wanted some very basic batteries (LR736), couldn’t find it anywhere in the nearest big town which is already 30km away.
Should I order a pack of them from Amazon for 1.8€, should i drive 160km to go buy them, or should I buy it in another online store and pay 6€ shipping? Easy choice no?

You can pay 6€ for shipping today or help amazon finally become the monopolist, and then tomorrow your batteries will just cost 10€.
Another way is to ask at the next electronics store as I’m sure they can order them with their next routine shipment.

6€ is enough for you to give a sale to Amazon and take a sale away from a better business? That’s how cheap your morals are?
