    Yeah, like, I canceled Prime nearly a year ago now and just shop elsewhere. I only buy from companies with shitty policies like these if there’s no other realistic option (e.g. when something is only available on Amazon :/).

      I checked a local store that said they closed their doors to the public and online orders only. Ok, I thought. I’ll just order what I want and swing by. No. The order link sent me to Amazon and they only do it through them. Not even will-call it turns out. I gave up and figured I can live without it anyway.

        There was a specific CPU cooler that was only sold through Amazon. Wasn’t at my local computer store or any other online retailers.

          Ah, thank you. I never use Amazon and I was just curious what kind of things would only be available there. A computer part makes sense.

          It’s not like you’d buy a CPU part constantly, but I’m kind of bummed that we don’t have more seller options for things like this.
