    I’m probably just going to cancel prime. It’s only gotten worse and worse. I can wait a week for shipping

      I think Prime is up to $140 a year now. They used to promise 2 day delivery, but that is now 2 day shipping, and delays prior to shipment aren’t counted. We are not renewing when it comes up later this month. It’s no longer worth it.

        I like the same day delivery stuff. A lot of their catalog gets to me in a couple hours if my cart is over $25

        Honestly, that’s the only thing keeping me paying for prime. Most of the shit in their catalog comes in less than a week without prime. But if I need something today, Prime is cheaper than a lot of the competing same-day delivery services.

          We’re also in an area where same-day is possible, but I don’t mind waiting for stuff anymore. Typically there’s only been a few times a year I really need something today or tomorrow. I’m betting/hoping the charges for fast shipping when I need it will total less than $140.

      We cancelled back in 2022. It was noticable for about a month, then we got used to buying much less and going to a store for what we needed. I feel better about buying directly from a company’s site when I need to get their product online and most places offer free shipping anyway.
