Find what you want on Amazon, look at reviews, and then go to the actual website of the producer and buy it directly from them. It’s not hard, it just takes an extra step.

You’ll probably buy less junk, too.

Yeah but sometimes the only producers are QAMEQHEJAK and you can’t even find what real brand sells your thing. Or sometimes they don’t do direct sales.

  That means you’re buying mass produced shit from China, the brand means nothing, and you’ll have better luck on aliexpress.

    I do this all the time. If it’s going to be cheap chinesium grade stuff I’d rather buy it from AliExpress for cheaper and wait a couple days

I do this, but be warned some companies use Amazon for fulfillment. I have ordered directly from manufacturer websites and still ended up with an Amazon package at my door. I just make a note to find a different brand if I ever need that thing again.

Is there some version of “hard” that’s not related to extra steps?

  Yes… Something that’s actually difficult? I’m not sure what you’re asking.
