What are your favorite amazon alternatives? This zine is free to download on my ko-fi. If you like what I do, feel free to buy something at
ko-fi.com/charlie/shop
🛒
ID: Five photos of a zine titled how I've been boycotting amazon for years and it's easier than most of you think. The cover features an illustration of the amazon logo with teeth in its smile dripping red. The second photo shows headlines about amazon's labor crimes. The third photo shows pages explaining tips for reading the zine including not using the phrase "no ethical consumption under capitalism" to hide behind. It also includes a list of alternatives to amazon's website including ebay, stores' actual websites, small artists, and secondhand shopping apps. The text is written in gel pen of various colors, and a doodle of a yellow shopping basket is at the bottom. The fourth photo shows pages that list amazon offshoot alternatives such as Storygraph instead of goodreads, youtube instead of twitch, libby and hoopla instead of audible, and antennapod or RSS radio for podcasts. The final photo shows the back cover of the zine which has a written disclaimer that explains that the author charliettea understands this may be more difficult for some people than others, but they hope people start to consider and change their behavior.

Dear Friends,
With Bezos' bullshittery, I've decided to stop my "Subscribe and Save" deliveries from Amazon, and I've cancelled Amazon Prime.
I'm not telling you to do the same, you do you.
However, I'm currently looking for alternatives. I've found one for dietary supplements, but I'm curious what other people use to replace Amazon, while not breaking the bank, or replacing one evil with another.
I realize this may be a tall order.
My verdict re: #amazonalternatives in my experience:
✅ Target
Easily the best online alternative for me. Consistent & a huge inventory with a good UX. Speedy delivery, esp. with Circle360, their version of Prime.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-stars.

✅ Costco
My 2nd place solution. Inventory isn't nearly as diverse but the value is high due to their volume. The UX is good, albeit their delivery isn't as quick as others. Still, very trustworthy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 4.5-stars.

I've looked at the following so far:
☑️ Ethical Revolution
https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/amazon-alternatives/
☑️ The Verge: Amazon Alternatives Online
https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/16/20696127/amazon-alternatives-online-shopping-books-clothing-electronics-sports-google-ebay-target-prime-day
Any suggestions for online e-commerce sites other than Amazon?
I'm actively using:
✅ Target
✅ eBay
✅ Walmart
✅ Costco
✅ Etsy
...and l'm looking for others to help complete the picture.
(And if you say Temu, OMFG you get blocked)

The brilliant and super-ethically minded Xigxag have been added to my Ethical Bookseller Search Tool.
The tool scours more ethical booksellers than #Amazon in one click and the cheapest result is as cheap or cheaper than Amazon for the majority of searches?! 🤯
Give it a whirl when searching for your next online #book order. 📖 👇
Where's a good online marketplace to sell #usedbooks that is #NOTAmazon? Their Seller Central has become a little too complicated and I have a lot of former rentals my brother used in college which my mom had to purchase because he missed the return deadline. If it helps any, they are #history, #memoir, #christian, #theology, and some #fiction (editions published within the last decade). Also may sell some to local stores. #amazonalternatives @bookstodon
