Recently I have started comparison shopping more and I almost always find Amazon is the most expensive option. I have Prime as well. For example I was shopping for dishwasher detergent and found Amazon was more than double what Target charged, and Target offers free shipping if your order is at least $35. And yes, I was comparing unit prices.
I also find Amazon prices with free shipping almost always end up being a tad higher than other places when you add in their shipping costs. ie item is $8, shipping is $4 at some competitor, where it will be $13 with free shipping at Amazon.
It's gotten to the point my wife and I pretty sure we are cancelling Prime and no longer shopping at Amazon.
- leetcrew 5y agoimo it's worth paying a little more just to get AMZL shipping. for my address, it's the only option that actually gets here in two days, and every day is a business day for them. UPS is usually two days, but misses the estimate a good fraction of the time. fedex is a little worse, and USPS priority mail is more like 10-12 business days.
- meragrin_ 5y agoAmazon still has two day shipping? Could have fooled me. It is usually 3-4 days minimum, but usually more. "In stock" wiper blade, ordered yesterday but won't arrive until Monday. Probably won't even "ship" until Sunday.
