I stopped buying from Amazon a while back. The service went downhill quickly and the prices are not really competitive anymore, and for the few items they are cheaper I’d rather source it from a more reputable company than give my money to these fucks.

Might I ask where you buy from? I'd like to make the switch, but since I live in another country and get my items here through courier, getting everything I need in one or two packages is significantly cheaper for me.

Well it depends what you’re buying really.

For computer parts I’m lucky that Scan is located near me in the UK.

Anything else just comes from stores in my town, supermarkets, etc or special stores. I don’t buy much that isn’t computer stuff really.
