Most of the time sellers on Amazon have their own online storefront

Yeah. Your item on Amazon often will say "order fulfilled by Company Y." You can look that company up to see if you can order directly from them, that way they still get the sale without Bezos taking his cut.

I did this a few times. Ordered directly from the company instead of through Amazon. But then an expensive order didn't show up. Amazon would have replaced it. But others companies' policies are not so customer friendly. I was in the middle of contesting the charge 3 weeks later when a neighbor showed up at my front door with the package. Said he found it while clearing brush along our common road.

Now I only buy through Amazon. If the neighbor had not been honest, I could have been out $280. And yes, we do have a problem with overworked USPS drivers leaving packages at the bottom of the road.
