Pro tip: Use Amazon solely as a products directory. Once you find something you like to buy, copy the item name and search for other stores selling that item. If no other options exist it's likely cheap amazon trash, and look for a different product (not sure how well this works since I can't shop online rn since i don't have a bank account yet)
unfortunately it's not always cheap amazon stuff if you're looking for computer parts it feels like amazon is sometimes your only option at least here in the UK I managed to get some of my parts last time from a different place awd-it and they were pretty good but like half the parts were only on amazon and newegg and while I hate amazon but I atleast know I'll get my parts and in working condition and new in box like I ordered and if I don't amazon will cover me but I know neweggs been pretty bad for quite a while and we don't have any brick and mortar shops for computer parts like the US we used to have maplin but they shut down years ago now
yay! monopolies!!
yeah I hate it :/ unfortunately they've already succeeded in killing the others mostly and no government entity anywhere wants to do anything about it
