I really wish there were decent alternatives. It's one of the few places left with decent return polices, since it's nearly impossible to go to a store and try on affordable clothes or other things that need to be interacted with before deciding to keep. The only stores these days seem to be expensive stuff or they're small and only sell the most expensive stuff the store offers, the websites have the less expensive stuff, but return policies suck or you have to keep going to the store to return stuff (if you're lucky enough to have one local with all of the malls and shopping centers basically barren) rather than just trying on a bunch in a changing room and putting it back on the hanger. Same for many other products. I'd be lost without Amazon, but I wasn't lost before Amazon, just that they and Walmart, etc., destroyed everything else.

Congrats, I wish it was that way here, but the US is labor union and worker rights -phobic these days. Companies will sometimes literally murder you for trying to start one. Just joked about how I had 5 people's jobs now and said "isn't this when the unions are supposed to step in," and everyone went super quiet and asked if the call was being recorded. Easy way to get fired by even discussing worker rights here.
