I'm not a huge consumer of new goods. I buy my share of secondhand goods in the way of art and antiques and used books, even used household goods. There´s very little in my house that isn't old or custom made: clothing; bedding; towels; a few pieces of furniture; some kitchen goods but I'm very spare with domestic electronics and gadgets and kitchen clutter, and maybe a third of the stuff is old.
Aside from groceries, the new things I buy are cleaning supplies, bathroom goods, TVs, mobiles, laptops, lightbulbs, printer cartidges and paper about once a year, the occasional household tool I don't have already, the occasional new book (from a proper bookstore if I can´t find it secondhand.)
For the very few things I do buy, I try to buy from Amazon only when it will save me a fool's errand of running around looking for some strange, cheap thing (a screwdriver for taking the back off a Macbook, for example), oir a can of spray lubricant for creaky doors, or cheap printing cartidges. It's has definietly become a fucking pain in the ass to order from them simply for the time and care that must be taken to order something that isn't some Chinese brand I have never heard of and never will again, often with complicated delivery times, or hidden costs. Amazon has become teh reverse of what is once was - a `place where it was easier to order someting online and have it a day or twio rather than fuck around forever trying to find at a higher price locally. I really use it only as a last resort for peculiar things I caqn find only there, and then I resent the time wasted trying to find the best, relatively cheaper, and honest product.
The delivery schedule is messy now where it used to be accurate: Tuesday may be Wednesday now, without notice. They used to have a pop-up to show that your order was in the neighborhod, 11 stops away, 8 stops away, etc. Now they have removed that and expanded to hours of delivery, from 08.00 to 22.00, and sometimes later. And try to consolidate four small things in order and arrange for their delivery together, impossible now where once it was easy to schedule.
Amazon, never a favorite, has turned to shit in many ways.
