Yup, that was our experience as well.
I found that Target had most of the low quality crap we were buying on Amazon anyway, and I could get something of better quality also locally. I would spend a ton of time doing research to avoid the worst of drop-shipped crap on Amazon.
Now I only really buy name brand stuff at Amazon that I can't find locally. We do maybe one order/month, if that, and I could probably eliminate Amazon entirely if needed.
Yeah I've actually been happy with the clothes I've gotten from Target too. Their All In Motion line or whatever it is has been nice for quarterzips for golfing. Found 32 degrees stuff at Costco and their website has all the basics I need (Polos/Casual slacks/underwear/socks) for cheap and its comfortable.
Yup, we get most of our stuff from Costco and Target, Amazon fills in the gaps and is a minuscule part of our spending (like maybe $50/month?).
