As a former prime member, there are times I miss it, but not much. What I miss most is Amazon caring about me as a customer. I don't think I am the only one who finds that as a non-prime customer my packages take a really long time to ship. I often have to contact Amazon to get them to actually ship my infrequent orders. Once you are out, you are really out. |

This is precisely why I refuse to even try Prime. It feels like a protection racket. It's not unusual for them to take a week or two to even dispatch an item. If I don't like it, I'm welcome to pay their protection money.
It's saving me plenty though. Most the stuff I get from Amazon, I can get from China at a fraction of the price. Now that amazon isn't neccessarily faster than China (yes, let that sink in!), I may as well order it from China.
(and note I'm talking about time to dispatch here. I'm not complaining I get default shipping rather than 2-day shipping. I'm complaining it takes them a week or two to pull the item off a shelf)
