I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

You're speaking like there literally aren't any online retailers in the US, is that really accurate? And question free returns are literally the law here...

Question free returns as in even if you're clearly in the wrong; purchased an item, throughly destroyed it, returned for a full refund. The seller gets to shut up and eat that cost because amazon already gave the customer their money back and isn't interested in hearing your claim as a seller.

This is why you can only find random ass bramd names you've never heard of throughout 99% of Amazon. Seller's refuse to be treated this way. (or at least anyone with anything actually worth purchasing)

Yup. I tried selling on Amazon and ended up back on ebay because perfectly working stuff was being returned and I had to eat the cost of shipping both ways.

Hey, at least it came back working. :/

Of course there are thousands upon thousands.

question free returns are literally the law here...

Which is a privilege that I hope you appreciate. America would never do something as reasonable tbh

There are some others, bhphoto being a good one, but many of the online retailers do not have free shipping and many also have return fees. That's where Amazon saw a way to steal customers away.

Is their completely automatic online store still closed on Sundays?
