I am trying hard to wean myself off of Amazon. Where is a good place to purchase products in general with good prices, a return policy, and fast delivery? Right now, I am specifically searching for thumb drives. Any brand suggestions?

If you buy any drives on line, be weary of big size for cheap, or even bundles like 3- 64GB thumbs for $8.00 or whatever ridiculous amount, almost always they are fake, you have to look closely, they are making the fakes look just like the real ones ….

I bought this off of Amazon several months back for my Shield Pro. But man! has the price of memory gone up!! I paid $9 at that time. It worked great in the Shield.

tigerdirect went belly up. newegg typically has great stuff but they always seemed slow on shipping to me. heck with walmart+ you can even get free same day delivery now in many places, and exchanging or returning is easy. they are trying hard to cut into amazon’s business.

I just remember buying my first computer probably 25 years ago from Tiger Direct.
Yes it a walmart has it at a store close they will bring it, I can’t have anything shipped because I never get it, they only recognize my address as being in another zip code, so it is always on the wrong fed ex truck.

yea one of the first pcs I built I purchased several of the components from Tiger.
I ordered my wife some vitamin b supplement from walmart couple of months back. It said same day delivery, I was very skeptical lol… but low and behold that same day, some strange blue car came up our driveway, I thought oh no Jehova’s Witnesses again hide… but turns out it was a young girl with a backseat full of walmart items. they weren’t even bagged or boxed, she asked my name scanned the b12 and handed it to me. I was like wow…. this walmart+ is pretty decent lol

Yes I can get same day deliveries some how, just nothing not delivered by walmart drivers. When I bought my LG TV I found a good deal direct from LG, but I could not have it shipped because like Walmart they use USPS for address verification, There is no mail delivery to my address, so I have a PO box, the address they want to use in a different zip code will show my building when put in google maps, but my actual address will not show up in Maps, but the kicker is if I just google my address there is usually a zillow listing and it shows the same picture.
I was on the phone with the LG guy for 35 minutes, when he finally told me they use USPS addresses, I asked why, because it is not like they are going to mail my TV. He was not sure.
