Re alternatives to Amazon, it depends on what you're buying. But I've been free from #Amazon since 2017 and here's what I use:

lehmans.com/

simsupply.com/

indiebound.org/

Ordering directly from manufacturers' websites.

I haven't ordered from Ali Express before, but a lot of the cheap Chinese stuff you get from Amazon is there as cheap or cheaper. A lot of folks order from them.

And buy local if you can, of course.

Posties are a national treasure.

Privatized delivery services will just tell you they won't deliver to remote areas, even with an address (bottom line: it's not profitable.)

Thousands of Amazon workers in more than 20 countries are planning to protest for better workers' rights and climate action between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

"Bezos’s company has spent untold millions to stop workers from organising, but the strikes and protests happening around the world show that workers’ desire for justice – for union representation – can’t be stopped."
