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

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.

6. I used it for convenience so I didn't have to waste my time looking all over for a product.

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.
