i hate amazon as much as anyone, but…really, just cancel prime and dont use them unless you absolutely have to. Order direct from companies themselves if you can. Shop local. You can’t rely on the FTC to do anything and i doubt this will go anywhere. you are much more powerful than you think you are.
That feel when your Etsy purchase comes with an Amazon receipt in the package :(
I had this happen to me on eBay as well. I paid a few extra bucks to avoid buying from Amazon and instead got the item mailed to me directly from Amazon. This is against eBay’s policies (you need to have the described item on hand) and may be against Etsy’s policies too
That’s if Etsy shit wasn’t expensive as hell. It’s not practical to ship at
No thanks, I don’t feel like going back to waiting a week for my package, 4 hour to next day delivery is just too nice
fair enough. i found that it was mostly a scam. they hook you in with “free” prime in college, then it just keeps re-billing forever until you finally realize “do i really need this package in 1 day as opposed to 3-4?” in my case, i virtually never need something instantly. so why pay the $170? its clearly very profitable for them, judging by how desperately they try to get me to re-sign up.
