Y’all think the sewer known as Amazon is huge?
Alibaba and others could fit them in their pockets.
For decades the USPS ( which is operating in low if any profit) has been pandering to China with basically free postage once the item hits our shores.
We avoid places like Walmart and Amazon aggressively since low prices have a high cost and they are strangling small businesses like our bicycle store, a 2.5 person operation for 45 years.
For household goods and many items for the store we go straight to away and hook up with independent people like us.
Sometimes , rarely, an Amazon fulfillment sends the item but that’s life.
