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?

Honestly I just order from Target. I know the products are legit, and I can usually do same day pickup.

(Lately I've preferred to shop in person. The stereotype is true -- once you become a mom, getting a Starbies and walking around Target becomes your self-care.)

I googled it, and that's unfortunately a local shop only available in one country (and it might help others if you specify which country).

I think to be a truly viable Amazon alternative it'd have to be global, for example when I buy from Amazon, I might be buying from somewhere in Europe, and their shipping service handles getting it to me without me even noticing where it's coming from, which is super neat! 😁

God, I hate Amazon, but god, I love Amazon.

I believe they're referring to Target. Wikipedia, dost thou lie to me?

Also that specifies the Aussie Target and US Target are different companies :p
