    I really like #2… I’ve tried to wean myself off Amazon and it does cost more, but Jeff doesn’t need any more money!!

      Thanks for the positive feedback. I agree fully. My wife and I are trying to not use it. Works mostly. Just when another (or multiple) have very weird things (like 10x the delivery time) we fall back.

      Same here! I check Amazon last after exhausting other options first. Also I find that most items on Amazon can be bought on Chinese apps/sites (ali express, temu, shein etc), they’re literally the exact same, just cost 10 times more lol. Oh, and fuck the CCP.
