I’ll start - I don’t shop a lot, but if I had to buy stuff like hardware parts, I do use Amazon sometimes, but if I can, then I try to use Flipkart. Realizing how it has turned into a monopoly, I try to look for alternative websites, and check if they’re trustworthy.
If I remember correctly, the last three items I’ve bought online were hardware parts from some local websites. The chi-fi IEMs were bought through headphonezone.in, and they were super-fast in delivery - I had to wait for only four days.
A fair bit, yeah. I usually buy my motorcycle tires through Amazon, because they’re almost always significantly less expensive than better retailers like Revzilla, Dennis Kirk, and so on. My last set of tires was about $100 cheaper after shipping. When I was shopping for shoes (Vibram FiveFingers), Amazon had the widest selection in my size, including prior model years.
But given a real option, I’ll usually prefer to shop pretty much anywhere else.
