Comment on It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription

If I see something on Amazon that I want, I just go to the manufacturer’s website and order it directly from them. If they don’t have a site that sells it, then I try other online stores besides Amazon. If they only sell on Amazon, then I decide I just don’t need it.

Except a lot of times it’s cheaper on Amazon, with faster shipping, even without prime. Most recent example I ran into.

$75 direct Image

$65 Amazon Image

  Only 50% risk of counterfeits, but you save $10!

  Cheap items/electronics can be more expensive on Amazon than direct, though.

    It doesn’t, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.
    
    Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn’t either.
