Yep. I’ve completely stopped using Amazon and I plan on cancelling Prime soon. The only thing I still sometimes buy on Amazon is books.

At this point I only buy things directly from the manufacturer or a listed authorized specialist retailer, and only from brands I have strong evidence are BIFL quality. So much of the stuff in the world is garbage.

The one thing I’ve yet to find BIFL quality options is daily wear clothing. At least some clothing articles do have options though.

Amazon is just a dumping ground for the worst of Chinese garbage. Almost nothing on the site is of even acceptable quality. It’s really unfortunate, I used to love using Amazon as a customer.
