    Fun thing, if you don’t sort by “Prime” you’ll often find that there’s another one of the exact item you’re looking for - without Prime - but actually for a lower price. The Prime isn’t actually free shipping, it’s just baked into the price

    Yeah you’re overpaying. Half of everything on Amazon is cheap plastic shit made for pennies that 50 different Chinese companies then reskin with their weird sketchy company name and sell for 10000% markup.

    I’ve largely stopped using them. I only buy from them if I cannot find what I need elsewhere which is quite rare.
