Lockdown has only increased the online giant’s dominance of online shopping, but there is another way
With non-essential shops closed during lockdown, business is booming for Amazon. But not all of the deliveries coming to doorsteps are from the online retailer. Some consumers are making a conscious effort to support small businesses and are buying direct or through websites which support independent sh ops.
“Now there are a lot more people in general looking for sustainable and green things,” says Sam Attard of Ethical Revolution, an online hub for alternative ways to buy books, films, food and electronics.
