Great tip!

Just did this, found a better product on the manufacturer's website and still got free shipping.

Did it today. Had to buy two homeschool books and bought from used bookstores and skipped amazon completely. May not have been a large order but it’s the beginning.

It is not only about hurting Amazon, but also about supporting other businesses.

Just did this to buy a bookshelf and it was way cheaper on the manufacturer's website.

Funny, I also use Amazon to help find interesting choices but I don't follow through with a purchase. Feels great to support a small business instead!

Exactly. Use the bandwidth of Amazon to look up products and read the reviews. Then find other stores you can buy them.

Too bad I live in Europe. The American market is practically closed off to us. Shipping cost is ridiculously high. And above a certain amount you have to pay import fees on the product AND shipping cost. My wife recently got a sweater as a gift. Had to pay more in import fees than the price of the sweater. It is designed that way so we never buy products from the USA. You can buy things like USB charger cables for less than 1 dollar from Chyna including shipping. Trump was right about Chyna. They are ripping us off.

This is the way. I always buy direct. Even if it costs me more money. Always try to avoid ChinX too.
