Amazon Advice Needed

[Turkeytop]

Last week I did something I had hoped to never do in my lifetime. I ordered from Amazon. My wife couldn't find the item she wanted anywhere else..

Without even consulting me, they enrolled me in Amazon Prime. The first month free with the option to quit any time. Since it involves a membership fee and I don't expect to ever use it. I do want to get out of it.

How do I do that?

You can't. It's like the mafia and Hotel California. Once you're in, you can never leave. On the plus side, Prime TV and movies is pretty good.

Just to tempt you...

I don't watch movies or TV. The last time we went out to a movie was about 30 years ago. My wife wanted to see Driving Miss Daisy. The last movie I watched at home would have been on VHS.

So what exactly do you do for entertainment?

Read. Listen to the radio. Crossword puzzles. Sudoku. Walk. Ride the bike. I'm never bored.

My late grandmother was a strict Baptist. She was against smoking, drinking, Dancing, playing cards, movies and TV, I always say, if it wasn't for my fondness for beer, I'd make a good Baptist, because I don't like any of those other things either.

Amazon prime is great. Thursday night NFL games, and a bunch of great shows. Since you got it this month, check out the Gordon Lightfoot documentary. Delivery in a day of virtually everything. Returns are simple.

It wouldn't interest me, even if I knew how to do it.

You’re in a country where petrol is $5.50 a gallon+, why not get stuff sent to the house?

The idea of ordering from a picture on a screen, and then waiting for it, doesn't appeal to me. It's like when my mother used to order from the Sears Catalogue.

When I shop, I like to see, touch and feel what I'm buying, and then take it home with me.

Imagine if you could get it sent to your house in a day or two, touch and feel it, and then send it back if you don't like it!

IMO Amazon is the way to go unless you got way too much time on your hands. I just can't see going from store to store trying to find an odd item. Let me tell you what sold me on Amazon:

About 4 years ago, The Boss (my wife) wanted one of those things you sit on your lap to set a laptop on. I drove to Target, Staples, Office Depot, Walmart and Meijer looking for one. Nada. The people at Staples and Office Depot said they hadn't carried those in awhile.

Got on Amazon. Badda Boom Badda Bing. Literally a hundred different ones in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Phooey on burning up my gas and my time running around looking for something.

Don't get me wrong. I'll still go storefront if I know the first place I look is going to have it. But multi-stops searching for something are over.
