    Amazon prime forcing ads was my final straw.

    Before that, two day shipping became six day shipping became two month shipping became fuck you it’s lost forever shipping while the US patent office slowly burnt to the ground via the tens of thousands of gibberish brand names sellers were using to pedal their counterfeit child slave labor fell off a truck shitty fall apart in one day products.

    Lack of Amazon has done wonders for preventing me from impulse purchases as well. Win/win.

      Crazy. I was out of town last week, annoyed I couldn’t order stuff as I discovered I needed it, because it would have been delivered before I got home. I did finally order last night, but had to specifically avoid the overnight delivery in favor of fewer trips/boxes. …… if Amazon is giving you these ridiculous lead times, maybe you want to take a box,over look at who you’re ordering from
