As do I. But there are just far too many things I've needed that you can't get locally here.
I live about 45-hour away from a larger metro area (~million people), but in a tiny af town of 1500. My postal service is spotty af when it comes to delivering to my house. Way easier for me to stop between the job site and home.
Not saying i don't occasionally source items from amazon, but prime just doesn't do much for me and my situation. My gf loves prime, but she's close enough to civilization/amazon hub for same or next day on a lot of items.

Same here..
Plus, in most instances, if have to wait for it to be delivered i really don’t need it in the first place.

you can find the highest rated item that you’re looking for and read reviews.
They've supposedly cleaned it up, but a lot of those reviews are fake reviews. Companies used to pay people to buy their products on Amazon, then leave 5 star reviews of those products. I'm still skeptical over a lot of the reviews on Amazon, and really every online source, though I will read them.

Where do you get your groceries?

This is me. I've never been a member, but I've never paid shipping either. I guess there is a minimum order that waives it?
I prefer to support mom and pop in town. Pay extra, but there isn't anything more convenient than getting something I want in 10 minutes. And I kind of like seeing the high school graduation banners of kids for those who own or work intown.

I have started to order it for a lot of household items like paper towels, toilet paper, laundry supplies. I usually keep it in my cart for a week or so to see if I need anything else. Prime does make it easier to buy things you don’t need, once you figure out how to work through your will power it great. I know it’s killing small business but honestly not anymore that big box stores like Walmart

I don’t order clothes and stuff on there. I’m talking about, “That knife I wanna get mom for mother’s day will be here in two dates”, or being in the Verizon store getting a new phone and being able to order the protector from Amazon while I’m still in the store gawking at the $70 price tag.
I just can’t wrap my head around having to either spend $70 on a case, or drive to some other store. I don’t like being in traffic enough for that.
Nothing I buy on Amazon is something I wouldn’t have already purchased.

I gave mine up a couple of years ago when the 2-day shipping started becoming more like 4-day shipping. I still buy things there from time to time, but I've found a lot of the vendors offer free shipping anyway, without paying for Prime.
The last two year, I signed up for Prime on a monthly basis, at Christmas, because I detest holiday shopping. Then after Christmas is over, I cancel.

I have found a lot of times when I am looking for a specific knife, fishing reel, hunting item, etc online, Amazon will not have it. I have ordered more things not on Amazon than from Amazon.

That's why they include pictures of the items on Amazon

BECAUSE I MIGHT BUY TWO THINGS A YEAR ON AMAZON AT THE MOST. YOUR THREAD IS STUPID IN ITS CURRENT CONTEXT.

So, the delivery drivers are volunteers, and their vehicles are solar powered?

Yeah it’s awesome, and especially when paired with Amazon Prime credit card. I mean 20 percent of diapers. Come on.

There is a Walmart about one mile from us so we’ve been using the order pickup thing like a mofo.
Like LL said too, when I buy something like a new phone and I’ll know I need a case or want an accessory, I’ll order it from amazon.
I use it mostly for things I want that I don’t feel like making a single trip to Home Depot or Walmart for.
