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?

It really depends on which item I am searching for. I don't have one that's 1:1 replacement to Amazon, just at least few websites I go on for whatever I'm looking for.

  • Clothing - Often use Vinted which sells second-hand clothes at a cheap price. Not great search filtering it has on both their website and their mobile app but you can find some decent stuff on there.
  • Electronic/Gaming - I usually go on to eBay most of the time but sometimes, I would go on CeX and compare the prices. Often, CeX is overpriced but there's couple time it has been cheaper to get.
  • Decoration/Gifts - Etsy has some nice items and stickers. It has gone downhill with the AI-Generated slop and has some dropshippers but there are some small businesses that make their own stuff which is what I love about Etsy. It feels more personalised and found some the fan-items to be better than some the official merch.
  • Music - MusicMagpie sells second-hand CDs really cheap for anyone collecting CDs or just love buying that format. They also sells DVDs which I'm more a Blu-ray fanboy but I do also like my DVDs. I sometimes buy.flac music from Qobuz but I find them to be overpriced for me but if it support an artist, get the money I guess. Seem as I'm a broke-ass, MusicMagpie would do as I love collecting CDs and holding it sometimes just to look at the album cover.
