      Okay, but can’t you simply ship something from a non-local company the same way you ship from Amazon?

        Not where I live. Amazon has one competitor and thats it. There are a bunch of online stores with specialised catalogs, etc. for clothes exclusively or for makeup exclusively, but I’ll still need amazon to get things homegoods or QoL items.

        I think the only viable solution is to start looking around in local shops. As long as we use amazon, we won’t even know if something is available locally.
