Amazon Advice (lemy.lol)

With all of the sketchy products Amazon has and their bad practices, I’m really considering getting rid of Amazon. The only thing I will really miss is the fast shipping.

My reasoning is that I don’t use Prime benefits outside of shipping because I don’t play live service games anymore, and lots of local stores price match.

For those of you who have ditched Amazon(or not), what’s your reasoning and advice?

Any input is appreciated, thank you.

I just finally decided to ditch them this month, so not a ton of experience yet. I ran to Best Buy last night for the first time in years as opposed to ordering what I needed off Amazon. I miss the ease and all but I still feel like I’m making a good choice. There is no perfect company but fuck Amazon.
