I started ordering at Target. They have a similar program for free "2-day" shipping (through USPS, so the same issues as Amazon. Averages 2-3 days) if you sign up for their credit card.

Obviously a vastly smaller selection, but the prices are competitive and often cheaper than Amazon at this point. Feels good breaking away from Amazon as I was only shopping there from the momentum of what was once a good company.

I can second Target. Like Prime, you also get 5% off and you can open a debit card, if you don't want to open an extra credit card.

Thanks for the tip about the Target debit card. I'd heard about their credit card but didn't want to open a credit account. Their debit card links to your existing checking account:

There is also Google Shopping/Express, which works with major retailers including Target, and from unknown reasons I was able to order from Target via Google Express for cheaper than directly from Target..
