If they add that when I'm already paying for prime they can keep it, I won't renew.
Same. I'm not even sure why I have it now. Shipping is atrocious even though I'm less than 5 miles from a distribution center. I barely buy from them anymore since I don't know if I'm going to get a used returned item or not.
What alternatives are there?
Plenty. I got next day delivery from Best Buy earlier this week. Most franchises offer similar in order to compete, and you typically dont even need a membership, just a minimum dollar amount on the order. Stop in at your local small shops if you can, but otherwise order from anyone but Amazon.
I agree, but also had to chuckle at that in order to combat Amazon we need to turn to big box stores. 😂
You mentioned small shops/local too. I don’t want to ignore that!
