As noted in this interview it will be far more material to Bezos if people drop Amazon rather than the Post. Bev54 Oct 2024 #4

That is his money maker. I already did about a year ago when their prices went sky high.

Didn’t like its mechanics. My wife and I don’t use it. I’m never in a hurry to get anything I order.

If Bezos and his ilk are afraid of the felon then they should do everything to ensure he does not win. One would think.

Since then many other outlets now provide the online experience and with Bezos upping the prices, I find many other sites have the same items and at a lower price, and some within my own city. I also stopped because 3rd party items were coming from who knows where and often the quality was bad. Decided I did not need Amazon anymore and quit.
