Question re Trying to Avoid Amazon

[labingi]

Does anyone know of an Etsy-like merchant (an online store that carries various products by various creators) that does not do business with Amazon shipping, i.e. that prohibits it?

I've been using Etsy, which I know has its own problems, as an alternative to Amazon and was slightly shocked to find one seller I bought from is using Amazon to ship my order.

I ordered a CD from Bandcamp and it came delivered by Amazon, which I hadn't expected.

Sad to hear that! Ultimately, I expect consumer choice can do nothing to stop the march of Amazon; it will have to be anti-trust law (if anything).
