Prime shipping is the only thing that makes online shopping bearable, but I'd be happy to pay $200/yr or $300/yr for it if that were the difference in Amazon workers having decent working conditions. https://twitter.com/CORPORATE_NAME/status/1016060460683202562 …
(1) Walmart has like 0.00001% the coverage of stuff I want, and (2) I don't like playing the game of comparing prices with hidden shipping costs & guessing whether some random site will actually ship without sitting on ass for 2-3 days first.

I feel like some people who have been locked into Prime for a while are actually completely unaware of how the rest of the market has evolved. "Hidden shipping costs" really aren't a thing at any major retailer today.
-
No, but there's basically nothing I want that I can find by starting at a major only retailer except Amazon. Instead it's (1) Google, (2) wade through random-sorted results with sketchy shipping costs & schedules, (3) hope I get item in reasonable timeframe.

I can say your experience does not remotely reflect mine. I pretty equally shop with Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. And Amazon is usually neither the cheapest nor the fastest.
-
Yeah. Those sites don't have long-discontinued motherboards, semi-obscure RF & audio connector & cable components, obscure adhesives & machine screws & PC/electronics connector cables, craft materials, ... :-)

Ironically, other companies' shipping rates have beat Amazon for me... most of the time I've had Prime. Amazon changes their "guaranteed date" a lot without telling you now.
-
I've had a few times the guaranteed ship date got messed up or items turned out to be out-of-stock and their customer service has generally been great, e.g. sending an alternate item I selected overnight for free.
