Mike Lindell of Mypillow fame and a huge Trump supporter is starting an alternative to scAmazon called “Mystore”. I would imagine it will be virtually impossible to topple scAmazon but who knows, maybe he’ll take a big chunk.

By the way, Bezos is flying into space tomorrow. Maybe he’ll run into a bit of Karma for all the crap he’s given Trump thru the Washington Post
Often I do that.
Although a lot of good youtube videos doing head to head tests of various things are also useful, when the person doing the tests is reliable and unbiased.
Yeah,
Our local Super Walmart (not so super, runs out of stuff after running local stores out of business) has an empty slot for the Canon colored ink I need for my printer, that I bought at WM.
Been empty for about a year or more.
So I priced the cartridge on Amazon. Then found the same cartridge direct from Canon, same price, no shipping.
Went with Canon.
The modern version of "showrooming." Anyone remember that?
It's what drove so many local retailers out of business in the first place: Going somewhere to try a product out, figuring out if you liked it, then bought it on Amazon for cheaper than the local retailer AND had it delivered right to your doorstep -- no matter what it was -- and avoided state and local taxes in the process.
Avoiding state and local taxes via Amazon is no longer possible in many states, so if I'm going to pay them anyway AND most big-box retailers match Amazon's price now, why not use Amazon to read the reviews, figure out which you want, and then at least buy local to support local (retail) jobs?
I do a lot of that now myself. Kinda funny how things come full circle ain't it?
