    @CordCuttersNews, for as much as a PRIME membership costs, we shouldn't have to pay extra to go commercial free. Just my opinion though.

    When so many other sites offer free shipping on items often at lower prices with no membership fees, and nearly the same shipping times, then I just don't see Prime being worth it as they keep jacking up the cost, and when very very little of their streaming content is something I would want to watch anyways. Honestly there are far more cheaper alternatives for streaming that are free, or low cost like Peacock with tons, and tons of content.

      I recently bought something off Amazon as I could not find it anyplace else cheaper(PC RAM for my new build), and I accidently clicked join prime as I was in a hurry doing the order at work, so had it free for a month in Nov., and yep even having a newly built Amazon warehouse in my area about 45 mins away, some if the items I ordered during that time took well over a week to almost 2 weeks to get to me.
      Also I agree Walmart seem to have faster shipping without paying for their service, and even eBay where I've had the exact same items on Amazon sent faster for free, and several times inside of an Amazon prime shipping box with free shipping, and no sub fees just as fast if not faster. 😅
      lastly all things considered I've had really good luck with Aliexpress shipping me hard to find electronic parts in a timely manner, and oftentimes with better packing materials used.
