What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon? - Lemmy.world

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?

Honestly I just order from Target. I know the products are legit, and I can usually do same day pickup.

(Lately I’ve preferred to shop in person. The stereotype is true – once you become a mom, getting a Starbies and walking around Target becomes your self-care.)

I’ve been been using Target instead of Amazon Prime. Shipping takes a little longer but 5% off with red card is neat. Where it really lacks is quality control over shipping. With Amazon something getting damaged during shipping was something like once every few years, if even that. With Target since they don’t control that part of the chain it’s out of their hands, and it feels like 1 out of every 5 orders had something damaged to some degree. The all make it super easy to get a free replacement though.

idk if it still is since I haven’t used Amazons app since, but targets app is so much nicer

I’d say just do in store pickup whenever you can. That way, you can refuse to pick up the merchandise if it’s too bad.
