* Slow to ship if non-Prime member
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateashford/2016/01/30/amazon-shipping/#4297cbb86517 Noticed recently my non-Prime Amazon fulfilled shipments taking more than a week to get out of Amazon's door.
* Want express shipping or 'free' 2-day shipping for Prime members which for Prime pay $99 annually for that privilege. Amazon does not always use reliable UPS, USPS, Fedex, or DHL, but instead sometimes uses unreliable BBB F rated Lasership headquartered in Fairfax County Tysons area
http://nymag.com/selectall/2017/09/lasership-amazons-shipping-partner-is-a-problem.html sharing the horror stories and why Amazon continues to use them.
* Not always lowest prices - time.com/money/4010101/amazon-lowest-prices/
* If you care about your fellow human beings, inhuman treatment of warehouse workers to point of death - http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/life-and-death-amazon-temp/
If the choice is available using Amazon and the price difference is not much higher, though at times it is lower than Amazon fulfilled, I use Amazon 3rd party sellers who do NOT use Amazon for order fulfillment (this is cleared labeled if they do) with at least minimum 90% (through strive for 95%+) seller ratings, who even over the last year, gets my non-express shipments out the door within a couple or a few days if that, and knowing they are not abusing their workers like Amazonions in the warehouses, and they use reliable shipping methods, not Lasershit as some call it.

No one gives a fuck.
The dems have started sorting the haves from the have nots...and the have nots can go fuck themselves. You want to go to Costco? $60 annual admission. You want to drive on the highway to work? $44 each way per day. You want to use Amazon and get your shit on time? $99.
Did anyone stop buying iPhones when all the zips were jumping off the roof at Foxconn? Maybe 3 people. They added nets and told everyone to get back to work - and the lines out the Apple store got even longer.
If you hate Amazon and you are a conservative, you will use something else. If you are a libtard, you will protest and try to burn it down. What you have to understand is that all these snowflakes will agree 110% with you on social media then click the next window and order some shit from Amazon because it's on sale and "super cute".

The problem with Costco and like stores is they sell much of their stuff in such large quantities, it does not work well for a single person in an apartment or condo. Besides a family with a house with storage space and a garage or basement, who has room to store 96 rolls of toilet paper.

Yeah, buy local at Costco or other stores, right??? For most, not everything on your shopping list cannot be bought locally, and one has to resort to online to buy it. I really like smaller sellers online that can find.

Yeah he ruined it, stock was 750 around the election and now it's 1211. I'm crying all the way to the bank.

Use a price comparison app with Amazon and you'll be fine.
Other major retailers now offer free shipping as well as comparable pricing so Amazon's hold on that market will lessen.
