    There was a time when I thought that was impossible… now I don’t even have an account

    I think my wife keeps one because according to her (and I believe this is true) there are things you just can’t buy elsewhere anymore. So far, I have been fine not buying something if it’s only on Amazon but I can see cases where that would be impossible.

    Other than that, fuck Amazon right off

      thing you just can’t buy elsewhere anymore

      Yes and no. For example I had to buy double-sided tape and went into four different stores in different areas of my city and only found it in the fourth store after researching.

      I checked on Amazon after the fact, and could have had it delivered to my door same-day lol.

      I don’t believe there’s anything you can only buy on Amazon… but it IS so bloody convenient.

      What specifically is this true for?

      Other than their Amazon basic branded trash.
