Do they still refund your month's prime if you complain about this, or is Amazon at the point where it will happily tell the customer to pound sand?

I often go out of my way to avoid Amazon for my online purchases now.

The excuse I've seen is that Amazon points out that the shipping time was still 2 days, it just took them a week to start the shipping process. It seems like they're trying to minimize time in transit as opposed to trying to get the package to my doorstep ASAP

Why keep paying for Prime, then? You can also blame COVID for why you are cancelling.

Personally I’m not. I’ll subscribe for a month and make all the orders I need then.
