I can't live with Amazon, so I NEVER use them out of principle.
- 'surprisingly easy' is laughable because I have never lived with Amazon prime

  Amazon sucks, it's a toxic company, just don't do it!
  
  Its sur... ok its not that surprising to me that so many people shop with a company that is so terrible to its workers and for the climate.
