Lol wut. Most people on earth wash laundry without a washing machine
Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers?
Doublenut@lemmy.zip 1 week agoThe one place I’m having issue with this is appliance parts. Every time I try to buy from an appliance parts retailer on line it takes weeks to get my part. It’s either that or I call a local repair shop that has parts in stock and will sell it to me if I have the time to get out to their location an hour and half away between 9 and 3. Man I’m just trying to fix the washer when I get home from work. I dont have time for all that or the time to wait for the part, laundrys gotta get done!

With 2 people working 80hrs a week and a kid in cloth diapers I assure you I cannot wait a few weeks.
Could probably get the diapers done throughout the week by hand and I do all my own laundry in a hotel room by hand when I have to travel for work, but I dont have the littiney of other home owner crap to take care of or all the bedding and towels so its just my clothes.
At what time should I be doing my entire family’s laundry by hand including bedding for 3 to 4 weeks?
Sure could drop off at a laundry service but at that point its expensive enough to have just paid the repair guy with the part in his truck to come out and fix it defeating the whole point of fixing it myself.

There will always be exceptions.
Local>Vendor>Ebay>Amazon.
Stop that workflow where it makes sense.
