Not too surprising that they are relying on those tricks to get people back on it. There are no real deals on there, anything interesting to watch is always an upsell and the two-day shipping has been flaky. I canceled because I wasn’t sure I was getting any value out of it anymore and it was just causing me to spend more money with them.
Is there a good alternative to Amazon? I don’t like how high the price for Prime has become, I don’t use the video service much, and shipping is hit or miss. Plus most products are some generic Chinese brand.
I still buy some stuff off there but have been using it less, orders over $25 have free shipping, they still want you to spend money with them even if you’re not paying for Prime. Walmart is faster and cheaper for certain things, especially food/pantry items but they are just as evil. I don’t have a Costco membership but they have good deals online from what I can tell, wish they had a physical store in my town that would make it more worth it. If you find a vendor on Amazon that has something you like you could search for that vendor’s actual website online and order directly from them.
