The problem with Amazon is they will list and deliver any product under the sun, the organisation as a whole should have been forced to split by the Competition and Markets Authority years ago, but it wasn’t and now they basically have a monopoly on online sales. So it depends on what you’re after. Groceries? Try a supermarket like Tesco. Books? Try Waterstones. Electronics? Currys (awful though). Weird cables and adapters? Maplins still have a website.
Forest Of Dean, New Forest, Nottingham Forest. Probably several others.
My brother has just mentioned recently that Argos is pretty decent for a lot of stuff. Probably you won’t be able to order literally everything available on Amazon, but it’s worth checking first.
I havn’t used Amazon for a few years and honestly, it just takes discounting it as a possibility. There’s no one website equivalent but the more you search for places to buy things, the more you build up a repertoire of sites for specific things.
I recommend Ethical Book Search for finding cheap second-hand books. Bookshop.org for new books.
Argos can be good if you need an assortment of random things, although it doesn’t always have everything.
Cass Art for art supplies and Love Crafts for knitting and sewing.
B&Q and Screwfix for DIY and home stuff.
There’s probably more places I use semi-regularly that I can’t think of right now. You often end up paying slightly more but I think it’s worth it to not support Bezos and I buy less stuff than I would otherwise which is good in the end anyway.
You can probably find local business that sell whatever you need and if not just ask for recommendations on best websites to buy that thing here, at least that’s what I do.
