My subscription was cancelled yesterday
Keeping our Amazon prime until it’s 2025 expiration date. Spent today researching alternatives so I can placate my Amazon loving spouse. Fortunately coming armed with info and the promise that they’ll have a several month “get used to it” cooling down period, they took it pretty well. I also reminded them if they MUST get something from Amazon, they still do the free 2 day shipping if u spend over $35. But it’ll probably be easier than they think with all but the oddest of purchases.
Been wanting to get rid of it anyways and this was the nail in the coffin.
I dumped them last year cuz the products never got delivered on time. I'll never use the site again
I was able to get a lot of things through Target, and the rest through individual venders that usually have a lower price than Amazon these days.
Grove has become my go-to storefront for general household goods - they have a solid selection of generally reasonably priced jtems, and a strong aversion to plastic. They're by no means perfect but I feel a lot better with them getting a cut of my money than Bezos.
They're not going to have the billions of niche items on Amazon, but they're pretty great for my needs.
Cancelled mine today.
Blue origin and Trump should both be in deep s*** for negotiating deals they don't have a right to deal
