    maybe just do a little more research and purchase online from companies that AREN’T Amazon.

    I have done this, ordered from the company’s website, and still got the stuff shipped from an Amazon warehouse. I think the most recent one was an Otterbox phone case. It’s been a while because I don’t order much stuff shipped to me unless I can’t find what I need locally.

      This has also been my experience. If i order something off eBay, there’s a decent chance it’s going to arrive in an Amazon box, delivered by an Amazon driver. I just had this happen the other day, decided to try an eBay seller and avoid Amazon. Sure enough it ended up being a shipment directly from Amazon through the eBay sellers account.

        Ugh! So frustrating! Even when we want to enact change, the galactic monster has its tentacles in everything.
