Amazon has certainly regressed significantly over the last few years. So much so, that in 2022, we're not renewing our Amazon Prime. It expires in June and after that we're done. The amount of fake products, fake reviews, and overall just not knowing what you're going to get has gotten really old. Yes, you can return it easily, but I'd much rather get what I need the first time around.
- joseph 5y agoI let Prime lapse maybe a year ago. I realized I'd been paying for HBO on Prime for years even though I had never used it. It was my own fault, I should have realized that the charge for "Prime video" on my credit card statement every month was not for regular Prime TV. But after that, I was never again going to let Amazon sneakily charge me for things, and it wasn't the first time they'd done it, so I deleted all my payment methods. After getting rid of Prime, my life hasn't changed for the worse one bit. I do still order from Amazon sometimes, but I always order the $25 minimum to get free shipping and then delete my payment method immediately.
- wpietri 5y agoYeah, I dropped my prime a couple of years back and haven't missed it. Now Amazon has gone from my first stop to my last, after manufacturers and specialty stores. Amazon was a huge improvement back when it was new, but in my experience most retailers have caught up, while Amazon has been getting worse.
