My thing was it's funny upgrading to Prime would get me the order possibly later than the non-prime free shipping. I ditched Prime years ago when I starting see Prime (3-5 days) at the same time they raised the prices.
What isn't owned by kikes is local stores, but sometimes reality is driving around to 3 hardware stores and not finding what I need so Amazon it is.
Since radioshack folded, half the shit i need isn't available at a local store. It'd be nice if there was though.
Yeah probably the only reason I have choices is there has always been a big "buy local" movement here and folks will actually boycott places like Walmart.
Diamond-coated Dremel bit at Home Depot: either out of stock, or 15 bucks.
Amazon: 50 diamond bits, all different shapes and sizes, for TWENTY FUCKIN DOLLARS. I have used the hell out of them, and they are like new. Just one of a million stories. There is a reason Amazon is so successful.
Home depot is terrible but the local stores I've had good luck with. Amazon can raise the price of prime and continue to deliver in 3+ days cause people don't even think about canceling.
As a contractor, HD is great, in that they usually have everything I need. But when it comes to jigsaw blades, drill bits, etc. Amazon is def the way to go.
5-pack of T-shank jiggy blades (for wood) at HD: 12 bucks
I just got a bag of 30 blades...long, short, for wood and metal, fine and coarse teeth, oiled, for 20 bucks. On and on.
