Yup me too. Just cancelled it (and it took). Back in 2005 Prime was a great deal at $79. It was like Aladdin's magic lamp. Formulate a desire, click a button, poof! The thing appeared the next day.

Started buying on Amazon in 1996-ish, back when they didn't require email verification, with the email none@none.com. (Which I didn't own.) So my "account history" with a verified email only goes back to 1999 or so.

Now? What a pile of crap, literally, and it takes 5 days? No thanks.

Whatever metric they're optimizing for in 2023, it ain't the customers.
