For diversity, I buy from target.com. They don’t have the selection but sometimes that’s what you want. I don’t need to look through 20 brands of tissue. Their prices and shipping are generally on par with Amazon (I assume they are forgoing profit to get loyal customers)
So basically I would try going to target first, then Amazon. Or Newegg or B&H first, then Amazon. There are other retailers of course but those tend to have operational competence, which is hard because Amazon raised the bar.
This is a good point. I've found stuff on Target I wouldn't have considered on Amazon.
I also like Target's pickup option - it's even better than Amazon sometimes because it'll often be ready for me in like 15-30m and driving/biking over there is like a 10m exercise.
