We've (my wife and I) tried to stop using Amazon. But recently, I've run into issues where I need particular specialized bits and pieces (e.g. just today, a low profile 4" HVAC 90 degree elbow) that are only available via Amazon. A variation is where the item is available from one or two other places, but at a 10x markup.

We need to convince vendors to also avoid Amazon, and that may be even more of a difficult sell (no pun intended).

ps. Amazon employee #2, and I approve this message.

> ps. Amazon employee #2,

wow, that must have been quite an interesting experience. Do you have any anecdotes that you were willing to share about the experience. Thanks
