For the past few years, I've grown more and more uneasy with Amazon's business practices. I think it's time to move on. Not to mention the declining quality in products since international shippers were added (as discussed in the podcast Reply All).

I've also considered using Jet more but I don't know much about their ethics, does anyone?
Open to other alternatives and discussion about business ethics here.
