    Amazon is just so convenient, it’s hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.

    It’s a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.

      Is it really that bad to order things somewhere else? I live in Germany and never buy on Amazon and most things take one to three days to be delivered to me.

        In the US, you can get Walmart and Target delivered to you in 3 days for a lot of stuff, but I’m not sure if ordering from them is much more ethical than Amazon.
