I decided that $140/yr to pretend I'm getting #free shipping is too much, and canceled my #Amazon #Prime subscription this year. I have become repulsed by how it's become the "default" for #retail and everyone just lazily links to it for everything and lines #Bezos' pockets further for no apparent reason. Please help me form new #habits by suggesting alternative #retailers for various needs, and share this post for maximum insight from the community. 🤘📦🤘
@ishotjr where in the world?
I have a list of small shops that somebody in my group of friends have bought from, with various kind of products, but they are (by design) all in the EU
@valhalla Ann Arbor, MI, USA; but happy to take any recommendations, since I travel a lot and wouldn't mind ending up with a wide-ranging compendium! 💗
@ishotjr Where do you live for these recommendations?
@lydiaconwell good point! Ann Arbor, MI, USA 💗
@ishotjr great post! it expresses everything that i always feel about people who should know better & still link their shit to amazon.
wish i could help you with alternatives, but i don't know about stateside options. i'm sure you're already supporting small, local-ish businesses & creators in any way you can.
