This year the shipping has gone from two days from ordering to two days from processing to two weeks to maybe we'll just lose the order entirely.

Add to that that so many of the sellers seem to have migrated over from the eBay "hey look at this cheap knockoff crap that fell off a truck" crowd, and I'm just not seeing the benefit anymore.

My renewal is a week from today. I think I'm going to cancel by then.

I really don't know where I go from here vis a vis online ordering. Probably just use my boss' account when there's something that I just can't get anywhere else.

I’m trying go back to ordering directly from merchants rather than use Amazon. You don’t always have a choice though.

Mmm, interesting. Here in the UK Amazon actually added a new option - instead of next day delivery you can now get deliver stuff today on some specific items.
