this, basically.

people goto aliexpress, become intimated, and log off because they are too slow to navigate the site accurately.

then whine about "chinese shite"

The shipping charges alone negate the $110/year by a long shot. So yes it's free. If you order enough, plus S&S, & savings with an Amazon Card it's well worth it. The cash back from the card is credited on almost every order I place. If I can find something cheaper somewhere else I get it. No problem but quit acting like a fricking douche because you are too dumb to understand it.

as an example, i installed motion sensors LED lights around my house. saved hundreds on that move alone.

buying the products on aliexpress was $7 a piece compared to the exact same ones for $29 on amazon.

10=$70 aliexpress
10=$290 amazon

ya, thats the rub

most things that can wait 2-3 days can wait 2-3 weeks; some might not agree.

For me, the membership fee for Amazon is far more financially worth it than this stupid executive membership to Costco we have that never gets used. Not to hate on Costco. It just makes absolutely zero sense for a household with no other people in it.


I am in the same boat. I have prime and i rarely use it but I also have a Sams club card and don't use it much either. except for their roasted chicken that I am convinced has crack cocaine in it

So why am I supposed to be using it over amazon? Because some items are cheaper but take a month to get to me?

I'm not even trying to be a dick, I just feel like I'm missing something here

I was basically making fun of the shite you probably order on AliExpress not what I order on Amazon. From my experience though I don't want to wait a month for something to come in that is way too small or completely incorrect so now I have to gamble on waiting 2 months? The sizing chart for their stuff is completely fricked up. The quality is fricking terrible. Yea a lot of stuff in the US is made in China but I find it to be better quality then what Cum frum sum yung gy is selling on the streets of Taiwan for .25 cents in bulk. There is plenty of stuff on Amazon that's not complete shite.

Yeah, I actually like Costco a lot. But it is entirely unnecessary for my lifestyle. All we do is force ourselves to go every other month to get use out of it, and then we drop $200+ on shite we don't need.

I've never stepped foot in one despite living 5 minutes from the one in BR. Is it only bulk stuff like Sam's?

Pretty much, but the quality tends to be higher.

All the smoking I do makes a Costco membership worth it alone, and the wife likes to get bulk paper towels, toilet paper, etc.

We have a small family and don't tend to buy much in bulk so never bothered joining. I have heard a lot of good things about their brisket, steak selection and some of their store brand stuff.

Yeah, its only bulk. It is pretty awesome. The meat department is legit. They have some pretty cool prepared items if that's your thing. Their own label of alcohol is said to be nice brands, for a low cost. Great when you need to buy a lot of alcohol. Really, their own label of everything is nice. The dog food is grain free and significantly less than the brand names.

Massive rotisserie chicken is $5. Etc. Plus they sell anything and everything - luggage, electronics, etc.

Just that I personally don't really NEED anything there that justifies the money we pay to have it. I'm not getting in my car and driving across town to Costco when I need to buy someone a gift or when I need a random part, kitchen item, etc. I do all of that on Amazon.
