I usually "collect" some products before buying them, so I'm always above their limit. I am totally not getting their Prime scam.

I just sign up for Prime free trials. You can cancel them immediately but still get the full month. I only use Amazon sporadically, though - a half-dozen times a year at most - when I just can't find the thing I need anywhere else for a sensible price.

I recently bought 3 products for 50 bucks and had to pay 10 bucks extra for shipping since 3 different vendors. We really need a federated amazon.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

This IS federated amazon. What you mean is centralized Amazon. Just make sure to buy products from the same store.

Just make sure anything you order is either "fulfilled by Amazon" or "Ships from Amazon" and you should avoid that. I personally don't order anything that isn't shipped by Amazon (either through fulfillment or otherwise).

And if it's only on 3rd party and no import, amazon aint getting money.

i only shop there when they give us prime for free. sometimes (more frequently the last couple years) it's only a discounted shorter-term trial--so we don't bother, but the last time it was a full month--free. yea, we used it a little. and binged most everything worth watching off video, too.
