Hi all,
Does anyone know an online shop with a big and wide-spread assortment that isn’t just a marketplace with individual suppliers?
I haven’t bought expensive stuff from amazon for years but still used it occasionally to fill some gaps from my shopping list for small special items that I couldn’t find offline. You can easily get all of that in other online shops or marketplaces like eBay but you’d have to order everything separately: You’ll pay shipping multiple times and produce way more waste for packaging.
Sample shopping list:
- Sweetening vanilla flavor drops (you typically get those in sport related shops where you also get protein powder)
- Yellow or green shoe laces with 140cm length
- Environment-friendly sunscreen stick with UV protection of 50
I know individual online shops where I can all of that but is there a shop where I might get this (or similar weird combinations of stuff) all in one box?
Kind regards, rbn
For bigger purchases I found it pretty easy to get rid of Amazon. Clothes and electronics I mostly buy second hand on Vinted or Kleinanzeigen (German Craigslist). If I need something new, there are usually plenty of alternative shops for everything. It’s the small stuff that bothers me. If I buy a ~5€ article online from a specialized shop, the shipping costs double the price and if you have a separate (often oversized) box to dispose afterwards.
