Amazon’s delivery service is better than ever. You get products in half the time, with less packaging, and fewer miles traveled to deliver it to you, without any significant increase in delivery fees.
Price is still competitive when you take into account delivery cost and speed. If you don’t care about those, Amazon isn’t the cheapest.
Search and reviews are down the tubes. It’s like Amazon no longer cares if their site is overrun with crap products as long as people are buying them.
Amazon still works great if you only buy name-brand products that are fulfilled by Amazon.
Once upon a time I had Prime and their two-day delivery was extremely reliable. Then it started slipping and became “probably two-day delivery.” At a certain point it became “sometime in the next week delivery,” so combined with the nightmare changes they made to what used to be the best search GUI ever, I decided to cancel Prime for good. This was a few years ago; has the delivery situation improved? Because I know the search situation is still utter garbage.
I think there are different aspects to it.
