Price on Amazon vs price on other shops makes it hard to avoid Amazon sometimes (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Anyone else struggling to avoid Amazon because of the price of some things? I need 3M Tegaderm for example and on Amazon it cost 28€ for 10cm by 10m roll and on other sites that are not Amazon I can only find it for pretty much double the price (shop-apotheke.com has it for 58,40€ https://www.shop-apotheke.com/arzneimittel/3816512/3m-tegaderm-roll-10-cm-x-10-m.htm and medizinbedarf.eu has it for 49,60€ https://www.medizinbedarf.eu/3M-Tegaderm-Roll-Transparentverband-unsteril-10-cm-x-10-m). Stuff like this really makes it difficult.

Anyone know where I can find this as cheap as on Amazon or at least not much more expensive?

Amazon requires vendors to have their lowest prices on Amazon. It violates their contract to sell cheaper elsewhere.

Despite that, you can sometimes find the web shop of the vendor where they sell it cheaper or for the same price as on amazon.

True. Also, I believe that the contract is specific to the SKU. So a TV with a minor feature change would be a different item, as would a different count of items in a multi-pack. For example, poppi sodas have a 12 pack on Amazon and a 15 pack on Costco’s website for the same price.
