I mean Amazon is a hard service to switch from.
Nearly everything you need is available to order from there. Now of course whatever is the next best thing can still get your address and name (unless you use an alt name and address) but I’m talking about apps or services that have better privacy polices regarding storing personal information.

Some countries have a less evil version of Amazon. Mine has shoepping.at, for example.
But also, there’s very few things you actually NEED that you can’t get anywhere but Amazon. My main strategy in avoiding Amazon is to just reduce my conspicuous consumption. Everything I need, I buy from brick and mortar shops: tech shop, grocery shop, textile retailer, sports shop. When I was living out of town, I’d order from the specific shops/chains website, so at least it was only them who had my address. Also, no account needed.
All of this, of course, depends on what country you live in and what your town/area has to offer. Except reducing consumption.
