    It sends a message - this is a warning shot. If things don't change, another extended boycott can be organised. These people think quarterly, 7 days isn't insignificant on that time horizon.

    What are you doing?

            I completely ditched amazon - private and for my company. there are so many other options, slightly less convenient admittedly, but also slightly cheaper. works for me!

              Boycotts like this do nothing because the people most willing to "participate" are people who already don't purchase from Amazon. Even if you were able to get a critical mass of people to participate for even 3 months. So what? Amazon will post 1 bad quarter and then things go back to business as usual. Nothing happens. They don't even really lose any money. At least none out of pocket, of which they have plenty for things such as this.

              Amazon is a subscription model. You want to hurt them, then hurt their subscriptions. Don't boycott them, cancel Prime.

              I disagree. Even if just YOU boycott and no one else does. The boycott does something. Even if you don't believe in it, step aside and push the train forward while it passes you. Don't create friction.

                    Awesome. Do you still buy online from other billion dollar companies or have you been able to go all local? I’m having a hard time getting past the convenience and cheapness they are able to provide. I have cut back a huge amount though since Covid where I never wanted to leave home to purchase things I need for home.

                        Forgoing the convinience isn't easy, even gotta look at the purchase and decide if it'll be used frequently or just a use and throw

                                  I agree with the principal of personal boycotts, though not effective in doing anything to affect the companies that you are boycotting, are necessary. But OP is right. For instance I have been boycotting Chick-fil-A for the last 10 years because I don't agree with their homophobic attitude. But it has zero effect on their bottom line because no one else boycotts them or even cares. I think the kesson is that you should not expect any kind of real outcome from your personal boycott of a company. You should just be satisfied that you are not personally supporting that company.

                                    Amazon boycott March 7th through forever. There's no need to give them an end date. Our action is completely toothless when we literally spell out for them exactly when we'll come crawling back start giving them money again.

                                      Boycott March 7th-14th. Amazon makes record sales on March 15th. Great job. High fives all around. That will show them. /s

                                        Amazon is just so convenient, it's hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.

                                        It's a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.
