Are you addicted to Amazon? What is the strangest Amazon purchase you've made or nearly made?

[Elena_Stewart]

[NathanDavis]

lmao...

not addicted, no...

but we started ordering since the pandemia hit... and that pandora box hasn't closed yet, lol

[Elena_Stewart]

For me it’s on and off. When I feel guilty, I stop for a while lol

[NathanDavis]

lmao... and then they send you all these good deals

[Elena_Stewart]

Sink strainer deeleys:

Did you know when Amazon started up they only sold books?

[Elena_Stewart]

Yeah, it was for books only. I like these sink strainer, I might buy one🙂

[Sharkstealth]

Yes it's called the Kindle. I remember when my brother bought one. I looked at them but liked real books better.

[AngryCarl]

@Sharkstealth They sold real books too.

[Elena_Stewart]

Yeah, at the beginning was hard copy only

[_Maya_]

Omg yes! It's to the point it is horrible 😆 I am constantly ordering stuff... daily. I have the worst habit. I should just put things in the cart and wait until the end of the week and place an order but no lol. I'm like I need that in two days. So I order and then think of something the next day to order. Sometimes I do multiple in a day it's that bad. I'm probably half the reason that they have that ship on your Amazon prime day. They want to consolidate my orders but I resist. They must hate me. "Oh this girl again". I annoy the heck out of my girlfriend. She's constantly bringing packages in when she gets home.

[Elena_Stewart]

Hilarious😆

[Elena_Stewart]

You know, the best part is when I am waiting for the package to be delivered😁😁

[_Maya_]

Totally agree 😆

[Iron_Man]

I can understand that you won so many Amazon gift cards on here that you can get a lot of good stuff

[_Maya_]

@Iron_Man 😆 lol

[Iron_Man]

Yep 😂

I can't remember ever ordering anything from Amazon, but sometimes I do make requests, and my spouse will make the order. Often times we order books that the kids need for school through Amazon because they come relatively quick with a prime account. Weren't books selling the original selling point of Amazon?
I'm not sure if she orders from Amazon specifically, but we do get a lot of packages at our house. Definitely a few Amazon boxes here and there. The others are from crafting supply businesses.

I have a feeling that women order more online packages than men.

[Elena_Stewart]

I think that too because women are responsible for shopping most of the time🙂

[Sharkstealth]

Wouldn't say I'm addicted but you have to decipher Chinese junk from quality items you are familiar with. I have purchased well used items and parts that was money well spent. On the other hand I have also purchased complete garbage taking a shot on its quality.

The strangest thing I purchased recently but also kind of cool is a scalpel knife that you can replace genuine surgeons scalpel blades with. It's a fold up pocket knife.

[Elena_Stewart]

Cool item🙂

[NamerOfStars]

I have ancestors who fought at Blair Mountain. If I start buying from Amazon, their ghosts will murder me.

And they will be right.

[Elena_Stewart]

Ok👍🏻👍🏻

[DryGermanGuy]

I boycott Amazon and have been from the beginning. A horrible company, for the whole market but especially for their employees. I only use them as a search catalog and then find a local seller/store to buy from.

[Levin]

I've gone off amazon and have made very few purchases in the last few years. Although a week or so ago I bought 3 books totalling £50. I'm wasting a bit of money on clothes at the moment which is not good.

[Squatting_Slav]

I find myself unfortunately using it all the time for drawing equipment but the weirdest thing probably some natural herbal soap or something haha

[Elena_Stewart]

Natural herbal soap, interesting🤔

[Bricealan]

I buy almost everything you can imagine from Amazon... Some things I cannot mention here... but just got a small room heater for my living room in the cold weather... have bought some clothes and really literally everything you might imagine.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

All those poor little artisans that are trying to operate a storefront and you can't help them, Bruce?

[Bricealan]

@MiddleAgedClimbee I am in sympathy for them, but confess, it is MUCH easier and cheaper many times to buy on line... I buy from local merchants in Huntington Beach, and support the sole proprietorship when I can

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

@Bricealan i'm sure it has a lot to do with the type of products you routinely buy. My wife is always ordering products off of Amazon for our kids or for birthday gifts. I don't really do a lot of shopping outside of rockclimbing and bicycle gear. Big major purchases like furniture and cars are not conducted online at our household.

[Bricealan]

@MiddleAgedClimbee I made the mistake of buying a huge closet - bifold closet door from Tampa Florida that I could not find elsewhere.

[Paul09]

No way. I do not need more Junk and garbage in my house. It's not something to be proud of either. Control yourself, get a real hobby.

[Elena_Stewart]

The question is not about me. I ask different questions all the time

[Paul09]

Great. I do not t understand how some people think buying stuff is a hobby.

[Mr_twoface]

Not addicted but buy quiet often. As other stated, mostly basic stuff.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, and Ebay, Discogs, and Red Bubble.

[exitseven]

I try to avoid buying stuff from Amazzon. I like to buy from a store. I bought something from Amazon just before last Christmas.

[rosemilk]

only for the basics that i need asap and can't go to the store for.

[Wiredone]

No not at all. I haven't ordered anything from Amazon in months. My wife orders a little more often than I do but still not bad.

[bobalife]

Hahahah yeah that’s my bestieeee

[Anonymous]

Nope. I've literally NEVER used Amazon.

[Elena_Stewart]

Do you live in USA? If yes, you kidding

[Opinion Owner]

Nope. I've never bought anything online.

[laly520]

no im not
