in light of the Amazon strike, I wanted to offer some alternative online stores you can use INSTEAD OF Amazon for the upcoming months until the employees at Amazon are granted some basic common decency 🙂
rakuten.com – has nearly everything Amazon has
ebay.com – just be careful for scams!
newegg.com – for electronics/technology
emusic.com – music for as little as $1!! They also have a membership program where you can get music for even less!!
barnesandnoble.com – they have collectible items and childrens toys too!
This is great!
indiebound.org – books, and they make it easy to locate and purchase from local independent bookstores near you who Amazon would otherwise be putting out of businessÂ
The latest addition to the post is especially awesome. I love me some e-commerce but I really wish it didn’t have the knock-on effect of killing smaller/local businesses.
