  • The author canceled their Amazon Prime subscription on a whim and realized they didn't really need it.
  • Leaving Prime meant slower shipping but the author was happy to wait and still found the selection and delivery speed satisfactory.
  • Many people love Prime for its fast shipping and convenience, but some readers expressed ambivalence and considered canceling.

Ordering anything off Amazon takes like a week minimum here with insane shipping costs, prime or not, while ordering from any local store you usually get it the next day or the day after that for like 2 euros for shipping max.

You mean to tell me Amazon prime hasn't been around since the dawn of life on earth????

Basically a "it works for me but not for some people" statement. Such a waste of my time to have read that.

No mention of the free shipping?

I'm no fan of Amazon, but not mentioning the free shipping as part of the benefits of being a Prime member is not presenting an honest argument to people.

I have prime because i don't have to pay for shipping. Good on the author for being wealthy enough to be able to afford 38 Bucks in shipping for 10 items. I pay 0.
