    I haven’t bought on Amazon in 6 years. When marketplace vendors from other sites ship Amazon packages to me, I usually report them. I’ve had two of the marketplaces reply that they had no policy against this, and I let them know that I will choose to shop elsewhere from now on.

    It really hasn’t been very much trouble to avoid buying from Amazon. There’s no shortage of online shops, and Amazon’s prices aren’t always lower like they used to be.

      It’s been two years for me and I don’t miss them. I have had good success going direct to the manufacturer. And if the manufacturer doesn’t sell direct, they list alternatives to Amazon.

      And honestly, I go without things too. Amazon having everything available makes it too easy to buy random crap. I don’t need to have every bit and bob which makes my impulse buying generally a thing of the past.
