I’ve been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.
But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?

I know it’s not feasible for everyone, or even most people, but I just generally avoid shopping online as much as possible.
That’s fine if you’re not a geek nor a tinkerer (or a musician), but unfortunately my hobbies aren’t sold in stores anymore.
I miss RadioShack, Fry’s Electronics, and music stores that don’t charge a 30% markup.
I do a lot of tinkering, I just spend months trying to find parts out of random thrift store electronics. It’s much more efficient than spending 30 seconds placing a mouser order.
I’ve come to the conclusion that buying things online is really not better than shopping in person most of the time.
It is if you live in Tasmania
All of Tasmania has about the same population as my city. I’m in the process of moving somewhere a little more rural so we’ll see if I can keep up with shopping in person.
It saves tons of time. Most of the things we buy on Amazon are not even available locally.
