    I’ve been boycotting Amazon (UK) for a few years now. It’s not easy! Sometimes it doesn’t take much longer to source items, but other times it takes way longer. I have limits though, and occasionally I end up caving-in and just using Amazon, but it’s getting rarer all the time. Now I use them once or twice per year. I tried using onbuy for a while, but we got a couple of faulty items from them and their support completely ignored me, so I stopped using them. Generally, here are some of my most common alternatives:

    general stuff and gifts: Argos, ebay, etsy
    tech: overclockers, ebuyer, scan.co.uk
    electronics: John Lewis, AO, Richer Sounds
    books/dvds: hive.co.uk, Waterstones, WH Smith
    pharma: boots, simpleonlinepharmacy, well
    household: Robert Dyas, Dunelm, John Lewis
    pets: zooplus
    spare parts: buyspares.co.uk

    And for a wishlist alternative I use wishlist.com. (edited to fix formatting)
