Amazon already has subscriptions. Personally, I don't buy anything with a combination of frequency and predictability that makes a subscription make sense but obviously some people do. (Diapers I assume are one thing.) And that becomes harder with with perishables. Customizable but pre-populated (based on prior purchases) would seem to make a lot more sense.

My SO has signed is up for subscriptions for certain recurring purchases. Our usage is too erratic to put on a schedule. I have a new job at home: finding a place for all the things we get automagically delivered from Amazon that we aren't ready to consume. I finally spoke up when we had three containers of dishwasher soap and nowhere to put them.

They email you before sending you stuff, just skip the delivery if you don't want it.

Personally I set everything to six months and then bring it forward when I need some.

Even if there are some small savings, at some point it's just less mental energy to place an order when you need something, which takes? I dunno 2 minutes.

The only thing that makes any sense for me to get on subscription is cat food. Cat has prescription food, so it doesn't change in price, and he eats the same amount every day.

Not from Amazon though, I get autoshipped from Chewy.com.

Pretty much every other thing one would subscribe to I'm going to buy when its on sale. I'm sure Amazon predicting my needs would be at a premium cost.
