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.
if you're in the states try Walmart. they have a marketplace similar to what amazon does and they have a large catalog of goods.
