    Have there been any major efforts to boycott Amazon from sellers and customers? It seems like there’s a decent amount of people interested in organizing that.

      I don't know about a boycott, but I've found that I typically look for things elsewhere these days and then end up surprised when I can wade through the muck to find the product on Amazon, too....

      Even still, I would say I order from them fairly often, probably because of the quick/free shipping.

        The speed is hard to beat in many cases (overnight and occasionally same day), but for some things like electronics there are competitors that come close like B&H.
