    I buy lots of stuff from Amazon but as time goes on I've been looking at other options. I don't like knowing I'm funding trash like this with every purchase.

    I'm surprised the Megas haven't swooped in and taken over the Amazon loads. It's the only time they would actually be an improvement for safety.

    I don't buy from Amazon.
    I buy as much as I can from local stores. Anything I have to order to get, I buy from independent on-line stores.

    I haven't bought anything from Amazon for a long long time. It's a good site to find out what companies make what you are looking for. Then I just go on their sites and order direct.

    The whole reason Amazon started using their own vans to deliver packages was because of high accident rates with the contractors and a couple of high dollar verdicts .

    a nuclear verdict or two will force Amazon to take responsibility for it .

    same thing happened to dominoes pizza .

    I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon

    I didn’t buy anything until just a couple years ago but I’m apparently close enough that I get nearly everything next day

    I have gotten some stuff the same day .

    but I usually only buy something that a local store doesn’t have .

    If the local store says “we don’t have it but we can order it “
    I usually just hop on Amazon and have it next day .
    The local stores take a week or so and it’s $ more .
