I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…

    that’s fine if you have the patience for their shipping shenanigans. they sit on orders for days and/or ship from distant warehouses when you don’t have the prime sub.

      I haven’t noticed much of a difference in shipping time. If I order something online I’m not depending on it to arrive quickly.

      Not really defending Amazon, but that’s not really shenanigans either. If you’re expecting 100% completely free shipping without prime, they’re going to wait to send it with a more cost efficient larger shipment to your region while prioritizing prime orders. Sometimes the distant warehouses are used even with prime because that’s where those items are, they don’t keep them stocked everywhere, especially when they process third party orders. I can easily expect to wait 2 weeks or more for something if I don’t pay for shipping.

      Alternatively stop buying from a company that dehumanizes and exploit’s their employees to death
