Good!

Though, to be fair, the switching cost for a consumer to start using Target.com (for example) isn't that high. I go to vendors like Target.Com, HomeDepot.Com, BestBuy.com and AliExpress.com for most of the things I used to use Amazon for.

The issue here is that Amazon's behavior makes the switching cost higher than it would otherwise be. You are penalized for the existence of Amazon even if you don't use Amazon.

Thanks for the list of alternatives!

Have you experienced any unexpected pros and/or cons from using those vendors instead of Amazon?

Sometimes things take a few days longer, but no real problems. Target and HomeDepot also both allow "third party sellers" so there's the same clutter issue, though it's not nearly as bad as Amazon.

I'd love to hear a list of more, if anyone has them - I suspect most of them don't focus on Australia.
