And, as noted in the article, it still wrongfully states decline Prime and pay for shipping despite shipping already being free if you are willing to wait for delayed shipping.

Since I cancelled Prime, I have saved a fortune in addition to my $100. Not just on Amazon, but period. Super convenient and fast resulted in me buying more, now I am just buying much less stuff, make fewer orders less often. even waiting to go to a store I figure out a way to solve a problem without buying anything, and sometimes to need goes away.

I guess I have Trump to thank for it, never would have cancelled Prime if it wasn't for the US boycott.



I cancelled prime because like all "prepaid" things, it's basically a scam or they wouldn't offer it.

When I used to have it, half of the items were "not eligible for prime" and many more were "add-on items" where you had to spend $25 or whatever before you could ship them free (in which case you don't need prime anyway). It was basically worthless.
