| >Why would someone with prime use prime pantry if it was free shipping anyway? I used it because there was stuff on there that was (and is) significantly cheaper via Pantry than straight Prime. And as long as you ordered $35+ worth of stuff from Pantry, shipping was free without that additional Pantry subscription. Now that Pantry is gone (although they decimated the list of available products on Pantry in the months before shutting it down completely), most of the stuff I used to buy from Pantry is at least 50% more expensive with Prime. I'm going to be using Amazon for stuff like that a lot less now, because they're no longer competitive with my local grocery store. And don't even get me started with Amazon Fresh either. Their selection really sucks too, and while their prices are roughly competitive with the local grocery store, the lack of selection just kills it for me. I'd also point out that FreshDirect[0] is much better than Amazon Fresh in terms of selection as well. [0] https://www.freshdirect.com |
