For many of us, every day is Amazon blackout day. It really isn’t that much of an inconvenience to shop elsewhere. You can do it too! I believe in you!
Costco has a better return policy and still supports DEI. Though I’m not convinced Costco can replace some of the more niche items I order from Amazon.
You can get other prime subscribers to add you as a “household member” so you get prime for free. Even if you’re not at the same address. Also fuck amazon
Remember that you still buy the same stuff you normally do, you just don’t get them from Amazon and bezos. Specialty items can be bought directly from the manufacturer. Give them the full value for their products, don’t make them give Amazon a share just because you are too lazy to log into a non Amazon site.
I often do do that. And prefer to order from the manufacturer when possible.
However, there are expensive niche items that are very difficult to find other places and that are prone to damage in shipping due to their bulk, and the other places you can find them have shit return policies or extremely high markups. Because they are manufactured in China, shipped here and then relabeled.
Don’t assume other people are lazy because you don’t see their point of view.
I used it when I needed it, I got sucked into the convenience and I use it more than I like, I was planning on stopping anyway as my account is about to expire. March 7th gives me a good excuse to do it.
Please be civil, don’t tell people they’re lazy. I get we’re all outraged but let’s not target each other.
Amazon blackout, March 7th through March 14th.
I’m personally making that my cut off point for using Amazon at all. And if it wasn’t for their return policy I would have stopped quite a while ago.

Also, your returns are likely to end up in a landfill.
It’s been an amazon blackout since Bezos was front seat at the inauguration.

Yeah, that’s the boat I’m in. Or was. I now have the expensive niche items I needed that return policy on, but got sucked back in due to convenience.
Cheap student prime account is expiring soon anyway, so I thought Marc 7th would be a good quit date.
