I don't think order that much online (some months my VISA bill might beg to differ) but I do have a few companies that I have ordered from many times. Oh other than that company that starts with an A. ; ) I do try to order from other companies than Amazon (if it is a common item that is available many places), since clearly they don't need the business.
I'm always interested in learning about companies I might not be familiar with and/or have never ordered from. Any favorites?
I'm a big fan of VItacost and order from them at least every few months. For those not familiar with them, they say they offer "healthy products you want and need, including vitamins, supplements, health foods, sports nutrition products, bath & beauty favorites, even home and pet products." They often have great sales, promos, and IMO great customer service/quality guarantee. I often order the same things each time (ie Delallo whole wheat pasta etc etc).
Soupbase is another company -- I order my Minor's chicken broth concentrate. It takes me a long, long time to finish the tub so I don't order from them often. It came to mind since I need to place a reorder in the next few weeks. Really stellar customer service and super friendly and helpful -- they often tell me, oh no need to reorder such and such, it is still good.
And I first heard of both those companies on the old Cooking Light bulletin board. Some others favorites, Zappos (beyond speedy delivery, owned by Amazon), Nordstrom, Peapod (deliver groceries/division of Stop & Shop) etc etc .... I try to get things locally, plus it cuts back on the waste of the excess of shipping packaging, driving to deliver, typically cuts back on possible returns etc etc. But sometimes for me, it is the way to go since I don't have a car, ordering online is super convenient (especially for large items).
