This will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me.

    I canceled it at the beginning of the year. Im not missing anything and I try to diversify the stores I purchase from.

    The only thing that sucks is when I HAVE to use amazon for something. They will nag you so hard to get prime. It only makes me avoid them even more.

        There have been many items I’ve looked at or bought, mostly from small-ish manufacturers, that are only available through amazon due to the manufacturer not have the resources to handle all the logistics and web store that come with selling through amazon. I do everything I can to avoid buying from them because I can’t stand their bull shit.

        If you live remote, say, an hour or more from real shopping and such it’s the way to get fast delivery on anything, though Walmart does ok with this, though their “fast” is fairly unreliable. (Great for front door delivery of kitty litter, dog food, etc)

        But no, most people don’t need it because most people don’t live remote.

        The fast shipping. Need something the next day? -> Amazon. No other online store can match how fast they are in my area.

          A lot of things offer free same day shipping for me now. I’ve gotten things three hours later for no extra charge.

          I usually try to shop locally or at least a smaller online business, but if it’s a more expensive item and Amazon is cheaper, and I can still get it the same day or the next, Amazon usually wins out. One thing that has also bothered me is when I order directly from a company for more money and slower shipping and it’s still fulfilled by Amazon.
