It's perfectly feasible to never use Amazon. I don't know your situation, but i think people should go out more and prefer quality over quantity. Most of the stuff that Amazon sell is crap anyway.

Whether you find higher quality in your local area depends on your local area and what you're buying. More generally applicable, you can find higher quality with independent online stores.

The world's marketplace is alibaba.com, or aliexpress.com for individual orders.

You can find 99% of the junk on amazon on aliexpress for a lower price, though without prime shipping.

True, especially the goods shipped "with prime". It's always a 5-10 bucks premium over the AliExpress price of the same item. It depends on how much in a hurry I am.

You can do without Amazon. Should you really want to get something you can ask a friend to get it for you but I really think you won't need that.

Have you never been banned in a video game and wanted to get back in? You create a new account and call it a day.

It's not like you should feel bad about playing dirty with a company that considers it fine to just steal $1k.

For $1000 I'd definitely risk it and kick up a fuss about it if they locked me out.
