My wife orders from walmart.ca often. It's generally good but still feels
lower quality than Amazon (which has its own issues, yes). Last week they
shipped an entirely wrong item. So my kids aren't getting their Duplo set for
Easter.

Yah, the only thing that's been arriving from Amazon lately are the things
sold and shipped by 3rd party sellers. Frankly, i've been paying the extra to
just order from the smaller shops lately because amazon's critical
"prioritization" algorithm doesn't seem to know what is actually critical.

Part to fix my cloths washing machine? 3 weeks from Amazon, two days from
Granger.

Problem solved, plus unlike a similar part I ordered a couple months ago from
amazon, I'm pretty sure the granger parts aren't counterfeit. The box stamped
"Made in U.S.A" is likely legitimate.
