    I see this a lot, and I just don’t get where people are shopping that this is true, are you comparing it to Dollar Tree or something?

    Amazon isn’t as cheap as they used to be, but still competitive with places like Walmart and a far greater selection and stock. They’re definitely cheaper than locally owned places, I’ve tried to shop local, but the best I’ve seen is still like double what Amazon or Walmart has it for

    Also, I get the promised shipping time I’d say about 90% of the time even for same day items

      I actively avoid Amazon. It ends up taking a bunch of leg work but prices are consistent for me between Amazon, best buy, target, ebay, and b&h photo. They might have an advantage of home depot/Lowes but those items tend to be something I’d like to touch and feel first. But I understand I’m in a metro area so I have many stores around and that I’m still not supporting the higher prices of indie shops. I can’t do everything

          I live in a big city and most of my Amazon orders arrive the next day
