Ya, for the most part I try not to buy from Amazon and instead mostly buy local, mom & pop stores if there is an option, for what I am looking for. BUT… Amazon has such a huge catalog that sometimes I can only find what I am needing there so I do occasionally buy from them. They also have a very good return policy if the item wasn’t what I thought it was, arrived damaged, or even if I just changed my mind. I have ordered things from other online retailers when I couldn’t find something local and then had to go through hoops to return products damaged in shipping or missing parts, etc. and have been stuck with a few things I couldn’t return. I would also like to know of better alternatives to Amazon in these instances.
