I Cancelled My Amazon Prime

Although I agree that more people should cancel Prime, this author isn’t the target market exactly because they live in a city. I also live in a city and can easily get by without Prime. I can walk to everything I need.

Prime makes the most sense if you’re in suburbs and/or have kids. It’s a huge time saver for those people.

That’s not what I meant. Of course it’s better, but not as much of a necessity when you live in a city.

Does it make sense to have big smelly UPS trucks driving down your dead-end street 10 times a day in the middle of summer?!?!

I agree it could be more efficient, but isn’t there an argument that it’s better than all those houses firing up their individual cars to go to Target Or Walmart?

Depends, I usually stop at a store on my way home from work. Also, my neighbors tend to drive a bit more friendly then some of the strangers delivering random packages. The delivery trucks are always in a complete rush. I realize this is not just from amazon but it is the bulk and it is driving the behavior change.
