Yes, and without too much effort one can also just shop online at other retailers (in case one lives way out in a rural area). Maybe free 2-day shipping won't happen at other places, but free shipping and equivalent prices are easy to find.

I have also stopped buying from Amazon. I rarely got two day delivery from Amazon anyway.
Same here. Between their garbage labor practices and the fact that everything on Amazon had become, well, garbage, it was an easy call to make.
Yes, that is what I do (buying online but from a more local seller). If it takes 2 or 5 days to delivery doesn't makes much of a difference for me at least, I will have to wait anyway.
It's been at least 5 years since Amazon has had competitive prices for the things that I buy.

Most of the manufactured items on Amazon are just white label products from Alibaba, and you can buy them cheaper on AliExpress.
