We turn to Amazon when there is no local alternative. HH
I have been looking around for an equitorial tracking mount for one of my cameras and like you have been using Amazon for price comparisons.I honestly have used Amazon Site as a price comparing tool, but seldom find if I looking for item, I can not get better deal elsewhere. There's price are not lowest.
I need nothing today, or tomorrow. USPS or UPS in a week is fine, 10 days is not a big deal.
I surely do not want to make Jeff Bozo the liberal owner richer.
Maybe I am weird I like to talk to people, not text, or email if I have question about product, warranty, or how something works. I like company with live people in USAanswer toll free numbers.
I do have respect for a guy who started in garage selling books, and has become sucessful. Hate his politics, hate Amazona apprently is not a great work place.
Like I said I find better prices elsewhere, don't need it yeasterday, or tomarrow.
Have never bought from Amazon, don't see self doing so.
So, what've you been doing for the last 10 years?I've bought some stuff there, but seeing how I made it through about the first 55 years of my life without it, I imagine I could scrape by if the whole thing disappeared tomorrow.

when I find the one I want, I will buy from the manufacturers or a retailer that exists outside of the internot.
I do find myself buying some small items from Amazon, but mainly because I can get the item the next day.
Actually more like astronomy equipment, but yes. B&H and Adaorama both good sources for such things.BHP NYC aka B & H Photo use to be my go to for all things photography.
