Food, live plants /fish (aquariums), watercooling stuff, teas, NSFW stuff (no returns), used stuff (missing parts, or on amazon, its always defective.

I'm also souring on online deliveries. It was great in the early 10s, but now it's all low quality garbage, defective stuff that has been "returned", no name brand stuff, etc.

I initially thought the same about the aquarium supplies and animals. But all of the pet shops and stores I've gone to have been more than a little nasty and bad and all the stuff I've gotten offline arrived great and healthy

I thought the same until I went to the crunchy little indie stores. I've gone to two different ones, and both were great! One was high end boutique, the other a crunchy 70s place where everyone seemed super knowledgeable and appeared to do it for a hobby, with the store simply funding their ~~addiction~~ hobby. :)

I still skip petco, though, that place bums me out.

There's a third indie place about an hour away that looks really cool too! They have a 1,500 gallon tank that I wanna see.
