I don't use Prime and have noticed Amazon keep increasing the time taken for 'free delivery' to a point where i'll just buy it from eBay now, or direct from the retailer.

I cancelled my Prime subscription, but the last time I ordered from Amazon, I chose the free option which was estimated to take 5 days, and it got to me overnight, which was nice.

My current complaint about Amazon is that when I order a grocery item, it's because I can't find it in a local store and Amazon charges double or triple the normal price.

Oddly enough, I ordered something once in bulk for an exorbitant price, and immediately it appeared in my local grocery store for the normal price (50% less). I'm not sure what's going on, but it feels like algorithms run amuck.

Some companies sell directly on eBay, usually at a discount.
