I don't Prime but I did have a set of WildPeak tires in my cart that I cancelled. I've also toyed with the idea of just contacting the vender if it's independent and try to order direct.

Amazon isn't successful because of their amazing deals. They are selling an easy / addictive shopping experience and quick delivery. |

I completely agree. Its crazy how much less I've bought in small purchases since canceling prime. My wife would say the same.

Look into any name brand products on Amazon, being sold under the name brand, and it's rife with reviews of people receiving Chinese fakes.

Why do people talk about “canceling” or “not renewing” prime as if they put a stake through the heart of a dragon?
The only thing I still do that touches Amazon, for now, is this website and I have no illusions about anybody caring. But when YOU are actually willing to be slightly inconvenienced enough to put your mouth, money and business elsewhere, enough to make a competitor viable, THAT is when the dragon starts to worry about stakes in its heart. Like Parler. |

That alone has turned me away from buying on Bezo's "China First, America Last" website. This is a huge problem I've had with Amazon. I bet a lot of people don't even know they are getting fakes. Or they just don't care. I'm not quite sure. I had to quit using them for my business due to the surprising amount of counterfeit parts I got. |

That's the kind of thing that I would usually just buy on Amazon and get shipped to their house. I ordered it from Lowes instead (a concealed carry friendly corporation, btw). So I get it, you're not impressed. Sorry man. |

I'm holding out on cancelling as something has been happening with my purchases that I am finding curious.
1. I order inexpensive items with free shipping 2. USPS fucks up and doesn't deliver on time on a fairly regular basis. 3. Amazon issues refund. 4. I reorder if I still need it. 5. If lucky second order makes it on time. 6. At some point original order (which I have received a refund for) gets unfucked and shows up at my house=FREE SHIT and Amazon gets fucked. |

Several months ago, when I told them to FO, they instantly credited my account with a few dollars. I told them I didn't want their fucking money, close my account. Habib said they couldn't close it when I had a credit. SOBs tried to get me to spend it, delaying my decision to ditch them. I actually had to insult Bezos to get Habib to close my account, which he did immediately  Fuck them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Their bottom line isn't affect one single bit by you cancelling your membership. But at least you feel better. Individually, they won’t notice. But as more and more of us cancel and cease using their services, yes, it hurts their bottom line. It may not be by much, but it adds up. And as we spread the word and get more people to cancel who share our point of view it’ll really start to add up. And I do feel better! |

I don't have hundreds but I don't want to lose what I do have. ETA- I've noticed that their prices really aren't that great anymore and there has definitely been a surge in counterfeits and screwed up shipping. |
