I usually order form Amazon for convenience, but sometimes use shopping.google.com. I look up every site before ordering though. Some of the sites that show up in the results are sketchy or deceptive. I also sometimes use Ebay if I'm ok with buying something used, or something very cheap of questionable quality (from people who I'm guessing are just resellers of Alibaba crap).
There are lots of other marketplace sites (e.g. I was just looking at appliancesconnection.com) - but also generally I either google the name of the thing I'm looking for or look up the name of the seller on amazon and buy it from their site.
hive.co.uk for my UK homies, like Amazon but not a parasite on society generally
Local online stuff when I can. National stuff like trademe.co.nz. Then I guess Ebay and Alibaba.
You could try checking out Wish, Craigslist, or Ali Express. I've used all three to scrounge for parts to build a server for myself
Wayfair occasionally
I never understood the reliance on amazon. Its the internet, every category of item you could want has a bunch of manufacturer sites dedicated to it. "Websites you trust", hell are yall doing trusting Amazon.

Best Buy for gadgets.
I usually just use walmarts website, you can type in your zip code and find the physical walmart where you live and then filter items there are actually in the store, it tells you the price obviously but also the exact isle its in, so once you find what you need it you can just go get it in like 10-20 minutes based on distance
