Chewy puts a cardboard top on the case of cat food and pads out the box really well with large bubble wrap packing material. The box is sized so the cans can’t move around and dent compared to the huge Amazon box where the case bounces around inside the box. I haven’t had any dented cans at all.


You’d think Bezos would have enough added costs from all the re-shipped items to fix the problem.
Same here and I noticed the Chewy cat food was fresher than the Amazon cat food. I know by the color and smell if it's starting to turn. As far as cat food Chewy is better.

I ordered food on Amazon when I got my taste back. I could only stomach crackers and broth and tea.
I also purchased on Amazon when I was feeling better
an oxygen meter (as I call it that)
two thermometers that didn't work
bed step stool
medical locking box that doesn't lock
air purifier with HEPA UV light

Pillar candles from Pier 1.
Not many stores carry them anymore; most are in a jar, which is surprising, given our overloaded landfills and the concern over environmentalism.

I don't understand why, if one is so against something, they still will support it in one way or another. I don't believe in being a hypocrite. I "walk the walk, not just talk the talk".
I quit buying Nikes for myself (after more than 40 years), but I've had a hard time finding another satisfactory brand (Asics for now).

For the grandkids, Nikes make them happy and that's what matters to me. I'm not into forcing my political beliefs on anyone else. My job is not to indoctrinate them. They will form their own beliefs as they grow up.

I had my parent's religion crammed down my throat complete with punishments if I didn't pretend to buy in. I haven't been to a church service in 40+ years.

Let me ask. Do you support the politics of China? If not, do you refrain from buying anything made there? I doubt it.

Not really a valid question, considering how many crucial items are only made in China now. It doesn't appear the leaders of our country have any interest in bringing pharmaceuticals back to our shores, for one.
