    We only use Amazon when its the only fulfillment option available. What I’ve noticed about amazon over the last 5+ years is that it feels like cable/broadcast TV ads do now.

    In the rare case I end up watching TV with ads I find them so obnoxious and/or off-putting that I can’t believe they actually sell anything. If anything they put me off the product. And that’s how Amazon feels too.
