My Amazon saga continues...

Recently I wrote about finally joining Amazon Prime. I really like the Prime Wardrobe where you can try several things before deciding to buy them. I received the three pairs of shoes, but unfortunately none of them fit comfortably. One pair I almost bought, but after walking around in the house, they started to hurt. I have really strange feet. So, I let Amazon know I was returning them, pleased that a free return label had been enclosed so all I have to do is send the box back by UPS. We have a UPS drop box in town, but unless I take it to a UPS store about an hour away, I won't have a receipt to prove I mailed it. So....I'll probably ask my son to take it for me when he and the boys come for dinner tomorrow since he lives in the town with the UPS store. Okay, a relatively minor issue with Amazon. A while back I found a brand of gluten free crackers on Amazon that are hard to find in the stores around here. Tried to order them and was not allowed to even buy them unless I was a member of Prime. That ticked me off. But after I decided to try Prime for a month with a free trial, I thought, "Well, now that I'm a member, I can order those crackers and also get free shipping." Went on the site, picked out the crackers only to find out that I could only buy them if I spend $35. I don't want nine boxes of crackers! First they tell me I can't even order them, then when I join, they tell me I have to spend $35! Plus, it didn't include free shipping! It is such a rip off. I went to Walmart online, found them there and will have them shipped for free to our local Walmart to pick up. Nothing good ever comes from a company that gets too big and too powerful. It won't be long before the only places left to shop will be Amazon, Walmart, Ebay, and McDonalds. Heaven help us all.
