    What pisses me off is that I signed up for a year last summer. This change should not have happened for people who already paid for Prime.

    With shipping getting worse, yeah … I’m cancelling that.

    Guess Bezos doesn’t have enough money.

      Are you even getting two-day shipping anymore? I canceled Prime last year because my non-Prime items were arriving well before my Prime ones, with Prime sometimes taking two weeks.

      With their sucky shipping, having to navigate a minefield of cheap trash-tier products, and now their video service getting riddled with ads – I think if Amazon were just being introduced to the world in its current state, no one would even use it. We’d consider it a joke.

      All Amazon has going for it anymore is that it’s known and people use it out of habit.

        That’s how enshittification works - they lure you in with too good to be true promises & then slowly fuck you over year after year to increase profit.

        Wait, is the two-day shipping taking forever happening for everyone? I thought it was just because I moved to Alaska. It takes 2-4 weeks (and doesn’t show up about 10-20% of the time) for anything, but Walmart and Target stuff gets here in less than a week.

          I used to get it in 2 days here in South Dakota, but around 2020 or 21 it started taking progressively longer, until it was actually slower than normal shipping times.

          3 main reason I cancelled Amazon:

          1. Counterfeits. Can get the items direct for same price & shipping now anyways.
          2. Shipping so unreliable.
          3. My “new” items were quite often repackaged returns, usually missing parts.
