This isn’t exactly where this belongs so feel free to delete this. I’m mildly infuriated there is no usable alternative to Amazon.com. I’m more than willing to buy products elsewhere, but it’s so easy to default to Amazon. Please help.

    My problem is the algorithm. There is no way to browse categories and drill down into the features to find what you are actually looking to find.

    You search for xxx company Product, and you may get that product on the first page, but it will be surrounded by dozens of cheap alternatives. I find a lot of those alternatives aren’t comparable to the one I actually seek.

    If you don’t know the specific product you are looking for, you will never be able to sort the wheat from the chaff.
