I thought this meant the writer is forgoing Amazon as a service completely.
Cause that would be something worth reading. Not these first world problems ffs

Seriously. I have stopped doing as much business with Amazon as I can. Terrible company. Bad for the planet.

I wish I had alternatives. For man yof the stuff I need, my only option is amazon simply because local shops dont stock them.

Okay, but can’t you simply ship something from a non-local company the same way you ship from Amazon?

Not where I live. Amazon has one competitor and thats it. There are a bunch of online stores with specialised catalogs, etc. for clothes exclusively or for makeup exclusively, but I’ll still need amazon to get things homegoods or QoL items.
I think the only viable solution is to start looking around in local shops. As long as we use amazon, we won’t even know if something is available locally.
