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.

IDK how it is where you are, but I don’t ever give my address to stores. Even when buying online, I pick up my orders in the stores’ physical offices (the delivery to your door always costs extra anyway, unlike this). Yeah, that does limit my choice, but I kinda never think about that, just go with the stores that do have offices. Unless we’re talking about the biggest universal marketplaces that are pretty much our Amazon, they usually take cash. Recently, I’ve been ordering there without even creating an account on the websites - just asking an employee to make an order for me to later pick up at the same place.
