I stopped using Amazon around 2015. I don't want to buy goods from AliExpress with extra steps so I just directly buy from there. And if I need something urgently I go to a local store.

Amazon is often the most reliable shipping for me though. I just generally never get anything of real value from Amazon.

Where do you buy instead?

I dropped prime this year. Free shipping is over 2 weeks. Aliexpress ships to my door in 10 days. I think US tariffs freed up logistics for shipping RoW. Even less of no brainer.

Is this a loaded question?

Amazon sells everything. You literally buy things everywhere else.

You spend money on things with no real value?

Yeah, like, bulk wet wipes, or some spatulas, or a counter scraper.

There's a ton of online stores that specialize in specific categories of product- the better question is how to discover those stores instead.

Buying any of those things from Amazon is a serious health hazard.
