If they add that when I'm already paying for prime they can keep it, I won't renew.

    Same. I'm not even sure why I have it now. Shipping is atrocious even though I'm less than 5 miles from a distribution center. I barely buy from them anymore since I don't know if I'm going to get a used returned item or not.

    Plenty. I got next day delivery from Best Buy earlier this week. Most franchises offer similar in order to compete, and you typically dont even need a membership, just a minimum dollar amount on the order. Stop in at your local small shops if you can, but otherwise order from anyone but Amazon.
