Personally, when I order something these days, it's been on eBay. It kind of sucks though, and half of the packages still arrive in Amazon boxes anyway...?

Where do you liked to order stuff from, that's not Amazon?

Same about eBay. What I do now to avoid Amazon on eBay is I look for the item and if I see Amazon has the same exact item (including same product photos) for cheaper, I generally know that that seller is only cross-shipping from Amazon and pocketing the difference. Walmart and Target are other options, and other random sellers that I find on Google shopping too. Lots of times Google shopping will show the item is available locally, which is what I prefer. I suppose you could always go direct to China though and buy from AliExpress, Temu, etc.
