Some of us don't have a local option. I live in the countryside and it's a 30 minute drive in to town, which I only do twice a month. I do probably 2 or 3 Amazon orders per week. They give me a $1 off a digital movie rental if I opt for slow shipping so I usually rack up a free movie by Friday night. But it's nice to do 2 days if it happens to be something that I really need. I would go way over $8/mo if I had to pay for shipping.

Or the local option is Fry's which is just a physical Amazon with worse-quality Chinese junk parts, all a disorganized mess, with pushy sales people who can't actually help you find anything, but want their commission cut when you do.
