I have two choices in this town- a big box store or buy from Amazon. At least I don’t have to get in my car and drive 10 miles, park in the back of a parking lot, be bombarded by corporate propaganda in the form of visuals and audio, annoyed by salespeople who have been told to annoy me on purpose and finally get to the toilet seat, then stand on line for 20 minutes because they have one cashier and the guy at the front of the line wants to pay in a combination of a handwritten check, pennies and lottery tickets and won’t listen to the fact that they don’t accept checks, pennies or lottery tickets, then walk through the parking lot and drive back home if I buy from Amazon.
Other than that, what difference does it make? Either one horrible megacorporation gets my money or the other one does.
The fact is, those of us outside of larger cities, we don’t have a lot of options much of the time. There is no small business hardware store here. Not anymore.

Perhaps not, but are there not online alternatives to amazon?
Exactly how much time should I spend searching for a non-major corporation to buy a toilet seat online from? You obviously have no ideas yourself how to do this. What small mom and pop internet shop do you get every piece of hardware you need from?

Even those of us who live in areas with “lots of options” don’t have lots of options. I regularly (less so lately) waste days calling or driving to stores that should have what I seek, find nothing, then end up ordering from Amazon anyway.
I’m amazed that people still buy from Amazon.
I am curious, what do you use?
For a toilet seat is probably go to bunnings warehouse.

Which ones can I get a toilet seat from that aren’t just another megacorp?
Have you tried searching? With such preconceived notions, it doesn’t really sound like you even tried searching.

My legs personally
Most people in my area go for Lazada or Shoppee nowadays.
Why do you need to use something? Maybe just stop buying so much sh
