Personally, when I order something these days, it's been on eBay. It kind of sucks though, and half of the packages still arrive in Amazon boxes anyway...?

Where do you liked to order stuff from, that's not Amazon?

Found an aggregate site with a comprehensive list by state. The ones I tapped into are metro and have no online order options which makes them inaccessible to many.

To be fair, oil paint keeps for a really long time, I’ve used decades old inherited items, so I can’t imagine a lot of it gets donated. And I wouldn’t trust used acrylics for the opposite reason, as it tends to solidify in the tube over time.

It’s a neat idea, but access online is something most people rely on, so, after Blick, what is there, online?
