I’ve been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.

But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?

    A combination of Micro Center, FS.com, and eBay for computer parts. Anything worth researching I’ll try and buy direct from the manufacturer.

    Dumb cheap stuff still goes to Amazon because if I need a $2 female USB-B to male USB-C adaptor or something like that I’m not willing to go through more than about 5 mins of searching and I know there’s some random blob of letters company on the Amazon marketplace that will give me something that functions. I definitely wait until I have something critical or reach $30+ before actually placing the order though.

    • Have you tried Monoprice? It’s been a while since I’ve had to order anything from them but they were always my goto for cables, adaptors, etc.
