I dropped prime after the announcement... Who's next?
What pisses me off is that I signed up for a year last summer. This change should not have happened for people who already paid for Prime.
With shipping getting worse, yeah ... I'm cancelling that.
Guess Bezos doesn't have enough money.
Are you even getting two-day shipping anymore? I canceled Prime last year because my non-Prime items were arriving well before my Prime ones, with Prime sometimes taking two weeks.
With their sucky shipping, having to navigate a minefield of cheap trash-tier products, and now their video service getting riddled with ads -- I think if Amazon were just being introduced to the world in its current state, no one would even use it. We'd consider it a joke.
All Amazon has going for it anymore is that it's known and people use it out of habit.
Wait, is the two-day shipping taking forever happening for everyone? I thought it was just because I moved to Alaska. It takes 2-4 weeks (and doesn't show up about 10-20% of the time) for anything, but Walmart and Target stuff gets here in less than a week.
I used to get it in 2 days here in South Dakota, but around 2020 or 21 it started taking progressively longer, until it was actually slower than normal shipping times.
3 main reason I cancelled Amazon:
That’s how enshittification works - they lure you in with too good to be true promises & then slowly fuck you over year after year to increase profit.
We weren’t watching it anyway and we can handle waiting a few days for shipping. We dropped it too.
Canceling ours tomorrow actually.
