There's an element to slow shipping that has less effect today, since we're starting the week, it doesn't matter if things turn up tomorrow or Friday if it is for weekend DIY projects.
I wouldn't mind using another retailer today and near enough forget about it until the weekend. If by some chance it doesn't arrive until the following Tuesday, it doesn't matter, I'll find something else to do at the weekend quickly enough!
However, if you need it pronto, I'd rather pay for a courier.
Many people have grown up with Amazon, and in the early day it looked like they were undercutting retail from top to bottom, making the highstreet look like the bad guys. As their warehouses get exposed, and the issues of no union appear, I'm less likely to buy from Amazon as I think there are ethics involved that need consideration.
Do I really want to buy something knowing that a poor soul was probably operating at 98%, just below maximum threshold before collapse to get this item boxed?
