Who here doesn’t have Amazon Prime? Why?

Present.

I don’t buy much from amazon so I don’t have a need?

it made it way too easy for me to buy shite i don't need.

Cancelled it about a year ago after a few horrible customer service experiences.

I do still occasionally use my mother-in-law's Prime account to order something when I can't find it through another source.

I may buy something online 2-3 times a year. I’m a more visual person and like to see what I’m buying.

I know people who don’t, but it’s hard for me to imagine life without Amazon. Anything I need, it’s the first place I go. I haven’t been to a WalMart in ages, and maybe go twice a year.

Just looking at my history now - wind chimes, plant hangers (rope), a chef’s knife, cordless dog hair trimmers, a phone case and screen protector, phone charger for car, hard floor vacuum, a book from a chef that I preordered and had delivered the day it came out.. I mean, it’s like the minute it pops into my head that I need something, all I do it open an app.

I go out of my way to buy everything locally. My wife and I own a small retail store. We feel it's important to support our local vendors. I only buy things from Amazon that I can't find locally.

I appreciate this stance. But man. I just hate spending two hours driving around for one item when I can have the highest rated kind of that item shipped to my house in two days.

Amazon is a monopoly that is killing small business. But damn it’s convenient.

I'm not a woman constantly buying things I don't need off Amazon. Waste of money

I enjoy supporting local business.

As do I. But there are just far too many things I've needed that you can't get locally here.

Yeah, at least half of the items I’m seeing in my history aren’t at any local stores. Sure, I can find them in physical stores but I don’t really consider getting a knife from Williams Sonoma or getting a bestseller from Barnes and Noble to be “shopping local”.

Might me one of the most woman things ever said on here.

We got rid of it. My wife orders shite everyday, in the same manner you just described. "but it was only $14". So the hell what, we had no need for it. quit ordering shite and actually do some work when you're at work.
