      I canceled my sub when they announced that paid Prime memberships would still have to view ads.

      I use it exceedingly rarely now, thankfully, and without a sub you have to wait a week for something to arrive anyway, so I just expect it to be shit service.

      This almost certainly depends on where you are, I can reliably get normal prime shipping or even same and next day for 99% of non-specialty items

      Not that Amazon making service worse for some is acceptable, but that it’s not universal

        But will it show up?

        In the last 30 days we’re 50-50 that something will even arrive – at the local drop point, at the secure package receipt on the ground floor, at the local post office; 50-50 across the board.

        I threw a RAID disk but prime said “4 days” so I bit. 2 weeks later it’s still in the wind but “out for delivery”. By then I bought one local, but got COVID on the way home from the shops. I’ve almost recovered.

      This. I’d regularly get packages 3-5 days after ordering with prime. No reason to keep paying for a service I’m not getting.

      Same here, most delivery service will not even bother performing the delivery about 30% of the time and just leave it in a relay or post office. Last time the logs showed they ensured I wasn’t home in the minute they left the dispatch center 🤡

      I believe you can actually get a refund for the remaining time if you cancel it now.
