Changing attitude towards Amazon (or other company)? - Page 2

I will do business with the group that gives me more bang for the buck. For the most part, in the past few years, that has been Amazon. I really don't go out of my way to avoid any business(es). Whatever is best for me, I give my business. However, I have made one exception. I loathe Agency pricing. I refused to buy an ebook from the Big 6 (?) when they started that. When they implement it again, I will again refuse. Other than that, I usually buy from whomever can give me the product I want at the lowest price point.

I order things from Amazon when I can't get it locally. But I find it harder and harder to find things locally. I had to order a popcorn marker online because stores only sold them around Christmas time. For all the stores out there, I find it hard to find what I want locally.

Where I am in the Netherlands, food is about the only thing you can still find locally.

All the rest you'll have to order online.... often from Germany or the UK if you'd like a normal price.
