I consider the cost for prime worth it for shipping alone, like you I never use the other prime services (With the exception of that prime gaming freebie stuff)
The best shipping speed from a different online store is usually overnight, but you'll be paying for it, last time I tried it was almost $60 for one order. Already half of the yearly prime fee and prime you might be able to even get something the same day.
Without Amazon I would just be feeding another evil (Big box stores like Walmart). I could shop at locally owned stores, but their "premium" prices would just end up adding up to over the prime fee anyway and far less selection.
I've never really had a problem with fakes on Amazon, idk know if that's just pure luck or what, but when I get cheap Chinese crap I know because I ordered the cheap Chinese crap on purpose.
