So for me, for larger things, i use Amazon to find which products i want and i hunt down the website of the store that makes it. For small stuff, or things that may be from a smaller site, or over seas i order on Amazon. I am sure the smaller sites need the boost even more, but Amazon gives me the extra layer of guarantee of satisfaction.
Same. It's nice to have a way to quickly look through a bunch of options (even if 95% of them are shitty Chinese counterfeits). I'll even look through the reviews and see if anything glaring jumps out. But I haven't been a prime member since they put ads in prime video and haven't really missed it.
