OMG YES. I canceled my subscription 2-3 years ago and I've never once thought about resubscribing!!! Highly recommend. 99% of the time I still get free shipping because I exceed the $30 threshold. If I don't, then I'll just add an item to the cart and wait until I need something else. If it's something urgent, then I do pay for the shipping, but it's still way cheaper than $139 per year. Bro, it's fine.

I don't care about Prime Video or Music, so for me it 1000000% made sense to cancel.

I hate that Amazon tries to trick me into signing up for Prime on every purchase, but that just pisses me off even more and makes it less likely for me to consider signing up.
