Not only this, but ridiculously long shipping times for non-Prime members. My last two orders (over a year ago at this point) took 9 and 11 days to get to me.

Not only this, but ridiculously long shipping times for non-Prime members. My last two orders (over a year ago at this point) took 9 and 11 days to get to me. These were two-day ground shipments, and the products were in stock and fulfilled by Amazon. They simply let them sit for a week, and then shipped the slowest method possible. This is obviously a ploy for me to sign up for Prime. I'll simply shop elsewhere. Amazon's prices are basically retail at this point, anyways. They used to have lots of deals, but I rarely see that on items I shop for these days.
