  • for specialized things, look for specialized sites or services. For example if you're buying spicy Korean ramen on Amazon because you can't find it locally, check to see if a service like Umamicart might deliver in your area. If you're ordering organic groceries from Whole Foods (Amazon), check to see if a service like Thrive Market might work for you. If you're into hobbyist electronics and want to pick up some Arduino gear, maybe check out SparkFun. Each of these companies is run by people who are passionate about the market they've specialized in and they're a better place to spend your money than Amazon.
