Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately.

There are certain things I can't get anywhere near me from anyone other than Amazon, and I live in a city of 6 million people. Sadly I need to use Amazon about once a month. Getting groceries from them is ridiculous though.
Aren't there any online shopping alternatives to amazon? Are they really the only online vendor who is allowed to mail stuff to your 6 million people city?
Not ones that can get me the things I need within the month.
Nah you're just bad at online shopping.
Nah, some shit would take weeks to get to me from the few other alternate vendors, and I;m not waiting that long.
I think you just proved their point lol.
Hey, if anyone else or any store can get me the things I need within the week I 100% go there. but no one else is stocking specific temperature controllers anywhere near me. I can't get 3D printer resin anywhere that isn't a 40 minute drive away. Specific wiring I need, AliExpress is the only other company with it. Amazon stocks a lot of niche things that no one else is carrying.
I wish RadioShack survived
Same. I also used to have a great store near me that carried random electronic parts, motors, hobby shit, bits of hardware. Any time I needed to fix something, or wanted to make a little device I could go there for supplies. RIP Active Surplus.
I really wish I had a store like that near me. I hate being in the middle of a project and having to wait 2+ days to finish it if I end up needing something. There's a microcenter location that's supposed to open near me within a few years, which will be nice
