To me it's worth it. I order a ton of Amazon, unfortunately it's usually the best option to find niche items for my hobbies that can't be found locally.
That's too bad, because Amazon is really hit or miss.
I don't know what hobbies you have, but my wife and I have better options than Amazon. My wife is into watercolors and fountain pens, so she buys from specialty shops. I'm into computers and MTG, so I'm a better fit for Amazon, but I usually buy from Newegg and local game shops. We both like board games, which he generally get from local game shops.
We do need to buy a fair amount from Amazon though to fill in the gaps, but it's rarely urgent, so it can wait a week if needed.
