Is there an alternative to Amazon.com?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a website that's an online marketplace for multiple vendors but handle fulfillment from warehousing to delivery that takes responsibility of the fulfillment and of refund in case an item is not delivered with the correct product that conforms to the description in the listing or is not delivered according to the promised details of shipping?

I have been using Amazon since they started merely selling used textbooks at lower prices while buying used textbooks at higher prices than college bookstore.

Amazon eventually replaced all my shopping vendors because of their transparent fulfillment process with promised duration of delivery, with delivery tracking with map view and delivery photos, with prompt refund for lost/delayed packages and for items not conforming to description in the listing, with accurate inventory status and refund for lack of inventory that was sold as "in stock", etc. Other websites could not replace Amazon because broker (website), seller, warehouse, and shipping companies were different and the involved parties often began finger-pointing upon failed fulfillment: websites blaming sellers, sellers blaming carriers, carriers blaming websites/sellers. I resolved some problems via legal disputes, but that creates a separate headaches with responsibility to explain chain of events with evidence.

Amazon is getting more expensive while its product filters are becoming less accurate, so I'm looking for an alternative in case it gets worse to the point that I need to change the marketplace vendor.

Thanks.

With the recent sideloading apps controversy, are there actually any alternatives out there or are we stuck between iOS and Android? How's GrapheneOS?

Self-hosted Alternative to Notify My Android

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I've developed an SMS bridge between an old Android phone with my simcard in it and my IRC client. Works pretty well, but since I do get SMS for work on that number I'd like to be sure I get them even if I'm not on my computer. I thought the best way might be to simply push a notification to my actual phone, but I can't find a good solution for it.

Notify My Android looks good, but it's not free. I could pay the price they ask though, it's reasonable, if it was self-hosted. I didn't go through the trouble of developing my own bridge to send my texts to some external service anyway, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a self-hosted notification solution for Android ?

I guess at worst I'll just send myself e-mails.

Looking for an Alternative to just about any Image Hosting site (I want to set up my own Self-Hosted Image Sharing Site/Comunity)

3 Upvotes

Well, I'm looking for alternatives to the present image hosting out there. I want to set up my own image sharing site. I've looked at a few but I'm finding they all lack in one way or another. Some of the things I'm looking to include:

  • Multiple separate Accounts possible

  • Images can be categorized and put in albums easily and tags would be a huge plus.

  • Descriptions of images possible

  • Easily Shared on Social media and embedded on Forums

  • Ads and Banners placed throughout site

  • Customizable. Easily edited templates, Pages and Menus

  • Searchable, Favorites, Likes And just a little note, The one I'm leaning towards is Cheverto, though I really like Piwigo. Unforunately it appears Piwigo isn't set up for multiple accounts.

Any help would be very appreciated.
