Worth it

Should I use Amazonalts?

Curated list of ethical and sustainable marketplaces to promote alternatives to Amazon - amazonalts.org

· 1 month ago

Use it if you want a free, vetted list of ethical marketplaces instead of Amazon — it's legit and community-endorsed. Skip it if you want software: it's a static link list, not a shopping or comparison tool.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

No security page — the site informs but doesn't protect your purchases

medium

Listings surfaced in 2021–2022; verify each marketplace still operates before ordering

medium

You transact with third-party marketplaces — this site bears no accountability for orders or refunds
