Can I just get free shipping and opt out of video?

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You know, they'll ship stuff to your house for free as long as each order is over $35 (or maybe it's $50?). It's just that you have to plan ahead a bit more because it's no longer the "guaranteed" 2 day shipping.

I quit prime because that guaranteed delivery date was frequently not the actual delivery date.

I quit prime because prices for item + delivery were still worse than ebay even when I had prime.

[–] Chestnut@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

You can't opt out because it's included in prime

You don't have to use it, though, and you don't have to pay for the ads

Also, ad blockers seem to work pretty well with prime video
