How to avoid Amazon: guide to online shopping
I haven&#x27;t bought from Amazon in about three years. And I&#x27;m ordering online quite a lot. Only this month: a bike (boc24.de), bike equipment (nanobike.de), several books (booklooker.de, medimops.de, thalia.de, hugendubel.de), a Whisky (mcgin.de), a pizza stone (otto.de), USB microskope (digitalo.de) ...<p>No problem or hassle whatsoever. I just find a shop (usually idealo), then I order - done.<p>It&#x27;s so simple, there&#x27;s not much to write about - lest a guide.<p>&gt; You can often cut out the middleman if you are buying electronics. For computers, phones and TVs, Dell, Apple and Samsung are all offering free delivery on their products<p>That&#x27;s why the guide goes beyond its purported goal and tries to avoid other shops as well?<p>&gt; Environmentally friendly cleaning products, pet food and baby gear are available at Ethicalsupermarket.com. Standard delivery in the UK is free on orders over £50, or £3.95 on smaller orders.<p>Then specific shops and information about shipping?<p>Whatever - useless text. Just order somewhere else. It&#x27;s that easy. (at least in Germany) (yes, I hate Amazon - yes, I make a living with AWS)<p>---<p>Special love goes to:<p>- booklooker.de<p>- medimops.de<p>- notebookgalerie.de<p>- thalia.de<p>- mcgin.de
