    I’ll still pay for prime for deliveries, but I’ll stop watching their mediocre streaming service. Ads are viscerally disgusting.

      I suspect the deliveries is bullshit anyways. I cancelled my prime, shipping is still free, but they claim it will be 3-5 days. In reality I get them in 1-2 days anyways.

        I had the opposite experience: they gave me a prime trial and my shit still just took 3-5 days so i went back. I suspect it’s more of a fin-dom thing than an actual service.

        Eh, I live in a major metropolitan area in the US and it’s fine. Almost everything is same-day or next-day delivery except a 2-day delivery on some coin cell batteries, and I’ve had groceries delivered within 4 hours.

        Prime’s other offerings besides the delivery seem like a half-baked attempt to add value to the cost. I’d rather just pay the $160 and they focus on the delivery side.

            Yeah that happens too but it’s now down to once a month or every other month.

            Perhaps put a lot more priority in certain areas than others.
