Dropped my prime subscription when they added the first lot of ads. I don’t buy enough stuff to make the free shipping worth it on its own, and was mostly there for video anyway, so having ads immediately killed the value proposition for me.


Same here - ads in their "prime" (more like sub-prime now) video service were what made us cancel as well.

Honestly, it's been fine. It turns out a lot of other retailers have almost caught up to Amazon with choice and some even shipping speed.


I never thought I’d be saying this, but I order from Walmart+ whenever I can - it’s often cheaper than Amazon and often has same day delivery.

The other places I check are Best Buy for anything new and Newegg. They often are equal to or beat Amazon’s pricing, and returns with Best Buy are easy.

Walmart+ has a Paramount+ subscription I’ve logged into exactly once - to claim some $10 new signup deal.


+1 to Best Buy. Saved $20 on a $100 item. Prefer ebay for buying parts for projects/repairs


I don't have walmart+ but walmart has the same $35 free shipping thing as amazon. And I usually get walmart stuff much faster than Amazon, unless there's a third party seller involved.


NewEgg was terrible to deal with back in 2020 when their third-party sellers misbehaved. I haven't gone back yet. Maybe things have improved.
