Amazon US used to be as you describe. But now its mostly just cheap knockoff stuff. I hardly purchase there anymore. Its really sad because they used to have such a wide selection.

By that you mean overpriced dropshipping from aliexpress.

Everything I've seen on AliExpress has a 30-60 day delivery window. Amazon gets it there within a couple days. I don't mind paying a couple extra bucks to get something in 2 days vs 60. And that's not really drop shipping anyway.

Locally mostly. Also, surprisingly on walmart.com.

Edit: Also from manufacturers' websites.
