I make a point to find everything I buy online ANYWHERE but Amazon and have done that for years. What’s taking all of you so long? The vast majority of people who use Amazon would vote liberal, leftist. It goes hand in hand.
Disagree about the vast majority thing, but even so I agree with your decision to cancel Prime. I intend to do the same at some point, but currently I’m working on cancelling our TV cable, migrating from Windows 10 to Linux, changing email provider to protonmail, etc. It is not a simple task to migrate away from big tech, especially for a family.

Most smaller online resellers don’t ship to freight forwarders like HopShopGo (credit card doesn’t match shipping address), or international shipping takes months and is maybe 10x Amazon’s cost (including customs fees).

Trouble is, all of the options suck, too. Walmart/Sam’s Club. Costco. They’re all liberal Trump-hating companies.
It is convenient. I’ll give them that.
I’ve begun purchasing things elsewhere as well. Time to develop a new habit!
But the barrier of entry is such that even mom and pop shops can now do business online.
Almost everything you buy through Amazon can now be obtained from the source. For example, I now go directly to LLBean.com to get most of my clothing. I go to Harry's to get my shaving supplies and now they have a full range of toiletries from shampoo to deodorant. I go to Splash.com to get my wines. Also, the customer service is overall excellent at these retailers.
You will probably spend a few dollars more this way but I believe supporting retailers directly is the way to go.
