    Sony WF-1000XM3 seems to be hot on RFD. Half price for prime days.
    I can eat more hot wings than you.

    I am not a member, nor do I have any desire to be.

    It's not often there's anything on there that I can't wait for. In fact, not only am I okay with waiting for most stuff, I'm okay with waiting until I have enough stuff to get the free shipping. Some things I've been putting off for years to buy. When I need something ASAP, I'll just use my dad's Prime account. I think I might use it once a year? I don't even watch much on Prime video.

    As it's been stated already, Amazon is often more expensive and is littered with Aliexpress junk. I used to use it as a resource for researching reviews, but even those have become unreliable.

    Amazon is the most reliable place for fake reviews.

    I was going to say the reviews are the worst thing on Amazon.

    I've never had anything stolen, and usually get a package a day (from Amazon or otherwise). We rarely shop at brick and mortar now, as I'm in the opposite boat. It's not that I don't like getting out of the house, I just have enough on my plate that taking an hour or more to go buy something that can comparatively take 0 minutes out of my day is a horrible waste of my time.
    This 100%.

    Plus with Amazon, you don't even need to price compare on big purchases if you aren't in a hurry, ca.camelcamelcamel.com can be used for notifications of price drops on high dollar items.

    I find it hilarious that people buy chinese crap from XYZ company and are upset with it. Who doesn't know that at the very least, you always order products "fulfilled by amazon"? This usually guarantees a bare minimum of quality and delivery time.

    I don't buy Chinese crap anymore.

    That's why Amazon is so hard to buy from now.

    Has anyone noticed returns are with Purolator and Intelcom Pickup now? Intelcom never came for my last one and Purolator is less convenient than Canada Post.
    I'm wondering if they are trying to make returns more difficult.

    long time Prime member here

    I use it as another cloud backup of photos.
    Prime Music is handy if I want to build a quick playlist of songs for a road trips.
    I rarely watch shows and movies but Prime Video contents from other countries are much better than Canada.
    I buy some stuff pretty regularly even for work and it's pretty convenient than having to go with our vendors.

    Subscribe & Save is handy too, especially with a baby it was the cheapest way to get diapers on a monthly basis.
    Fortunately our dog's food is available on Amazon so the courier is the one that has to lift the 25lbs dog food to our door

    Battery for motorcycle - it's 35-40$ cheaper; nobody has one under 100$ in stock. Amazon's going to deliver a name brand one for 60$? Hells yes!

    Hydro ferts is another one...
    FC moto?

    I mentioned this in another thread.
    Good thing Purolator is close to me but definitely a bit more of a hassle than in the past.
    Purolator hours suck vs Canada post outlets.

    A ton of Ali resellers on there now or it's more expensive.
    Might get one thing delivered a month and really should just cut ties.

    The complaint when it's late to get 1 month free works once. Then it's a $5 credit offer or nothing as I found in pandemic, they just say it's covid issues and be patient.

    Definitely more inconvenient however for me there's a staples nearby that has a drop service for Purolator so it's not too bad.

    Intelcom return popped up for me only once.

    Bose has pretty good prime day deals. I have the quietcomfort buds, and aside from being mildly bulky, they're great. Great battery life, great sound quality. I assume the cheaper ones (soundsport or something) would also be good.

    Everyone buys chinese crap, whether they know it or not. I'd love some suggestions for where to go to buy North American/European though if you have some.

    Own and would recommend but I don't have anything to compare to.
    Downside is if doing a workout or yardwork, they tend to slowly slip out.

    But Consumer Reports says Bose blows.
    Wait can I get CR on Amazon?
    How are the Amazon reviews on CR??

    This is what I'm trying to avoid. I'll be using them while I'm doing things like that.
