I’ve been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.

But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?

    I’ve seen a bunch of ads for that. I was curious about it, but I’m naturally suspicious of new shopping websites, especially those with very low prices. It might be worth a look later when I want to buy something.

      I was very suspicious too. But I figured I’d give it a try for maybe $25 and it was okay. I ordered a couple other times and the stuff came as advertised.

      However, what does bothere is that this stuff is so cheap that I’m wondering if they are using slave labor. It is a real possibility.

      My girlfriend gets stuff from Temu sometimes. It’s basically ordering directly from China without the foreign middlemen, so the prices are really low, but the shipping times are really long. The product quality is about the same as anything else made in China, which is to say pretty good, but not the best.
