What snarky version of dystopia are you worried about?

Because they need us to keep interacting and keep buying stuff so by that measure considering the fact you are mostly free you need to be catered to?

You're doing the old man shouts at cloud thing, it was ever thus.. things change. Someday someone else will have a great idea or whatever Amazon does will fall from favour and someone else will replace them etc etc.

Had £90 worth of grocery delivered from Morrisons today. Took 2hrs from clicking order.

God bless Prime and allowing me to not have to ever venture into a supermarket.

Have been a prime member for more than 5 years now their free delivery service along with all the other benefits is well worth it for me and the Mrs.

I rarely have any issues with deliveries and if I do a quick call to their customer service department results in an apology and a free month added to the subscription.

Then you're clearly not buying actually from amazon, they don't use the post office.

It's opaque for sure but those have been marketplace sales.

I stand corrected! I'm pretty sure I've never had Amazon prime come via royal mail, how would they ever do next day?

Are you somewhere pretty rural so few couriers?

I have 1 warehouse 6 miles away another 20 miles away and live on the Mersey

Last 6months I've had a few of my prime orders been deliverex via the post office and even DPD but mainly amazon themselves and quite a few same day.

Seems they must be having few problems.

They don't have unprecedented power, or unlimited power. If you want to learn about that then start researching the East India Company.

@DXP55 Got a phone call this morning, "Thank you for renewing your Amazon Prime membership."

Now I'm *very* careful not to sign up for this thing, but I immediately remember it has been about a month since my last purchase.

"Great, now I've got to fight to get my money back," I'm thinking.

Go to Amazon, check my account, don't appear to have Prime, because they're asking me to sign up for a trial.

So now it looks like the nuisance callers are using Amazon Prime in their scam calls, too..

Going to have to check my account tonight to be 100% sure. What a pain in the ass.

So nothing whatsoever to do with Amazon then.
