I canceled my Amazon prime some time ago (no, I would not like some ads with my membership fee), but kept ordering stuff once in a while, because it's convenient. But I guess it's time to fully drop that behavior and look into some european alternatives.

I spent around 15 minutes yesterday to find an alternative to a product I had found on amazon, just to get a local megashop selling the same china-made thing.. but it's still something.

Did you try aliexpress?

I already used Galaxus here and there (especially for technology products). It seems to be a swiss company originally.

They also have the option to say "I'm fine if my delivery takes a day or two longer", which I like a lot. Not everything needs to be delivered as fast as possible no matter the cost for employees.
