Comment on Random idea: a federated alternative to Amazon Prime built from independent shops?
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 days agoOh, teah. I’ve used Amazon recently enough to see the “fewer boxes” option.
Last time I checked “fewer boxes” I got emailed a half assed excuse blaming their “partners” and then slowly received a shit-ton of boxes.
I don’t give them many chances, now, anyway. I try pretty hard to shop non-megacorp, now.
I’m not mad if it’s working for others.
Really I’m just curious if there’s a set of customers that Amazon still excels for, or if Amazon is just coasting along on reputation from past quality.

I like stuff fast, so it works for me. 90% of things get overnighted with no minimum limit with prime. Only have a local walmart, everything else is 30+ minutes away and even then amazon usually has cheaper and better stuff compared to whatever cheapo brands retail stores carry at a markup.
