Cancelled my Prime membership

[Aviation Pro]

Will never shop at Whole Foods ever again.

It’s personal between me and that goofy, baldheaded fuck.

Don’t ask.

1. Oh Rick Scott works at Whole Foods now?

Tada.

4. I see what you did there

Well done.😁

2. You'll find your Prime Membership easy to give up.

I thought it would be pretty difficult since I ordered from Amazon a lot, but with the pandemic, so many places now have just as good -- if not better -- shipping.

Free next-day shipping seems antiquated when you can have local places deliver within a couple of hours.

6. My wife orders on occasion

Her sister who has prime orders for my wife who doesn’t have prime. We will never ever have it.

[AllyCat]

13. Yup. I've found other suppliers for things I need

Either local or for a shipping fee far less than I was paying for prime.

Good riddance.

3. I have de-Bezos'd my life and it feels great!!

Welcome to the club!!

5. I went a different route

I deliberately order things separately, one thing at a time, even if I have four or five items that I want/need to buy at the same time so they can't combine shipping and/or delivery. Even of it's a toothbrush on Monday, a box of Q-Tips on Wednesday, and toothpaste on Saturday (not real purchases - just for example). For a real example though, I needed to replace two worn toilet seats, for two identical toilets, with the exact brand/model that are currently installed (so I knew they would fit). I ordered one last week and next week, I will order another. There was no price-break for ordering two at a time so it's no "skin off my ass". But I'm hoping it is "skin off Jeff's ass". I don't know if this is accounted for in the monthly Amazon billing or not, but I'm keeping track of the monthly charge to see if it goes up or not. I've been doing this for a few months now and so far, it hasn't...

9. Not so sure your method is great for the environment

[Woodycall]

11. Yeah, I considered that too.

My thought was that those trucks run 7-days a week anyway and I am a committed and almost "radical" recycler. Plus, I need the boxes as I'm hoping to move soon. The postal charges are the real cost and if it goes at least partially to the USPS, good. But yes, that part did concern me as well.

[DaBronx]

14. I like that you thought this through

More power to ya! Take him down!

16. I've cut down a lot and also use your strategy for what I still buy

The truck comes down my street every day, so I'm just adding a stop. It used to make 4 or 5 stops a day on my block, but lately it's been 1-2 stops. Guess my neighbors are cutting back too.

I've also noticed recently that I get a lot more spam ads from Amazon in email than I used to. And they're pushing on TV ads how good they are for small businesses. They must be feeling some heat.

7. Well done!

[Iggo]

8. How ya gonna watch Rings Of Power, though?

Just kidding.

No one watched that shit.

[Morbius]

15. I watched the first two seasons.

I won't admit to liking it, but I did watch. It's a great looking show, however stupid.

[DENVERPOPS]

10. To me

he looks like an over sized Dildo with ears and a nose.......what a shmuck.....

[ButchMcMuffin]

12. Well Yeah...

He modeled his spaceships after himself. Boing!

[Xolodno]

19. Well...

[kimbutgar]

17. Didn't do my Xmas shopping this year in anything from Amazon

My husband likes the streaming services so I haven’t completely cancelled but haven’t ordered anything since November 5th. I’ve been buying from eBay and Temu. No Whole Foods for me either

Will be interesting to see their next quarterly earnings.

[Polybius]

18. If I did that, I'd wind up huting myself far more than Bezos

I order way too much.
