Prime video isn’t really a stand alone service. What is the alternative to Amazon Prime. I don’t mean how does one avoid buying stuff on Amazon. I mean what is a one for one replacement of one site that you can buy almost anything from and get it delivered for free.
You don’t need to have prime to buy stuff on Amazon.

This is what I was trying to avoid. You missed the “one for one” part. You are correct that you do not need Amazon Prime device stuff off of Amazon. Amazon Prime is what I’m asking about where you can order stuff from the same website and get free delivery within 2 days on average.

If you order from Amazon without Amazon Prime not only does Amazon still make money but they make more money off you. Your solution is counterproductive.

Depends how much shit you’re ordering from Amazon. Which, if the amount you’re saving on shipping is more than the cost of a Prime subscription, you’re probably buying way too much shit from Amazon.

(Did you know that there are local stores where you can go and buy stuff and get it immediately, without having to wait for any delivery at all? And they don’t even charge for that!)

I haven't even read this full thread. But I will point out the amount of time I save by ordering things online. I work 5 days a week, 12-13hrs a day. Driving around, different stores, dealing with people. No thanks.

I ordered about $1k worth of stuff for spring projects at 4am Monday and almost all of it was delivered by 5pm Monday.

During those 12hrs, I got jump started on several house projects, took the dogs on walks, and played tennis with my wife/some friends.

I order maybe four times a year. I’m not buying shit. I’m buying essentials that would cost more in a retail store and require two gallons of gasoline per round trip. Cows outnumber people on my block. I’m not buying things I don’t need. My “walk in and buy stuff” options are a Walmart. And not much more. I’m not looking for condescending asses who didn’t understand the assignment. I’m looking for what I asked.

I order maybe four times a year.

Then paying for prime probably isn’t saving you money. It would be cheaper to just pay the shipping costs 4 times a year.

Thank you for being the expert on my situation that I’m obviously unqualified to be. Since you have all my data please make sure you file my taxes on time. I don’t want a repeat of last year where a stranger who claimed to know all my stuff failed to get it filed by the deadline.
