As evil as Amazon is.. next day delivery is truly so incredible. I ordered some silicone toothbrush head cover things last night which just arrived.

I avoided anything Amazon for years as some kind of one man moral stand but there's no fighting the tide.

Living inner city without a car I rely on home delivery for so much. Home delivery keeps cars off the road too . It's good for city planning. πŸ‘

That's it. It doesn't matter where you spend your mullah it's going to a millionaire anyway unless of course it's a locally independent trader like takeaway shops and bakeries which I'm more than happy to contribute to.

Same - but Amazon delivers to my house, auspost dumps every package at the post office. I have a parcel locker but so many shops don’t deliver to locker.

I've avoided them as well but I have to give them a go because they're the only place that have the item. Let's see how it plays out.
