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.

Except a lot of times it's cheaper on Amazon, with faster shipping, even without prime. Most recent example I ran into.

$75 direct

$65 Amazon

Doubt that site has free shipping tho

It doesn't, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.

Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn't either.
