My decision to ditch Prime completely is looking more justified every day. So glad they announced all this cancer before my subscription rolled over.

Fuck off Amazon.

I've had this conversation recently about why we even have prime. Their shipping has gotten worse, their video has gotten worse, their support has gotten worse(literally just closed the chat conversation so I'd have to start all over), half of their products are Chinese fakes.

Fuck Amazon

I was once transferred 14 times but Amazon customer service. I refused to log off the chat, and insisted each new person read the entire chat history this far while being pleasant and polite "wow 14 times, is this a new world record? I bet we do it kurpreet, let's go!"

I was trying to arrange for pi kuo of a vacuum cleaner that was foa. Wouldn't take no for an answer. Politely.

Eventually they just said keep the vacuum cleaner it's on us.

Same. They definitely were on the bubble and about to be cancelled. They had a few good years where video made up for the declining shipping service. Now there's no reason to pay.

What are you paying for? Shipping is the same without prime, and the video and music products suck. Replaced it with looking elsewhere for cheaper products, which I was already doing.

Btw, if you want a free trial of Shipt your Visa CC may have one. Search for "Shipt Visa trial" or something.
