If they add that when I’m already paying for prime they can keep it, I won’t renew.

Same. I’m not even sure why I have it now. Shipping is atrocious even though I’m less than 5 miles from a distribution center. I barely buy from them anymore since I don’t know if I’m going to get a used returned item or not.

Plenty. I got next day delivery from Best Buy earlier this week. Most franchises offer similar in order to compete, and you typically dont even need a membership, just a minimum dollar amount on the order. Stop in at your local small shops if you can, but otherwise order from anyone but Amazon.

This is why voting with your wallet is so goddamn important
