I avoid using known bad actors like Walmart and Amazon unless it cannot be avoided, and try to buy within the country, if not within my city/neighborhood whenever possible. Or at least buy from companies that do have a good track record.
I will happily buy the sad-looking fruit from the grandma down the street before buying te perfect fruit from the chain grocer.
I order stuff from independent sellers and it still gets handled by Amazon Shipping from time to time. I don’t know if it’s possible to completely avoid them anymore.
I don’t. If for a specific product the only reasonable option is Amazon and I need the product at all cost, then I get it, because such a scenario is extremely rare. Maybe in some countries or maybe for some niches it might be the default option. But I think for most people it’s just their own personal illusion.
Buying local is the easiest way to get started.
