> During the last month (technically 40 days) I've had as many problems with Amazon as I've had in the past seven years.

Made two total orders in 2026 after like 15+ in 2025.  Part of the problem is that they are quite easy to beat on price in some departments these days.

Interesting.

Amazon for me is a go to when there isn't a good selection of what I want nearby. For instance, a dopp kit, or a stainless steel dough hook.

I use it about the same, but found myself making at least monthly orders before late last year...now it is less.  Part of it is intentional, wanting less to do with an evil company...but part is also down to comparing prices.
