I'm just not a huge fan of the subscription model. The last time I had a subscription I only ended up making a single purchase during my entire year.

- dylan604 5y agoPrime is a subscription model, and is twice as much as Costco's.
- kadoban 5y agoIt's also optional though, Costco membership isn't.
- dylan604 5y agoWhy would you shop at Amazon as a non-prime member? If you're going to be sold knock-offs and returns sold as new products, you might as well get some videos and movies to watch for the hastle. Edit: you can also find a friend with a Costco membership and go with them. It's not like it's that exclusive.
- kelnos 5y agoAnd a long with that, why would you buy from Amazon without Prime, and deal with slow, non-free shipping, when many competitors (Target, Walmart, etc.) have upped their game and offer 2-day shipping with a relatively low total purchase amount, with no membership fee needed?
- sixothree 5y agoThis is actually a good point. Amazon is only able to sell that cheap crap because their return policy is so good. Without prime you literally might as well just order the stuff straight from china. And to be fair, Costco worked a lot better for me when it was in the general direction of where I work.
- Railsify 5y agoI wouldn't recommend a costco subscription unless you grocery shop there.
