I don't know about being misleading, but I have to say that being constantly nagged to subscribe to Amazon Prime is really annoying.
Have had prime for the last 8 years but it's too much now. And the constant nagging to get me back on it is annoying enough that I don't even want to shop there any longer. Not that it's much better of a company but I've switched to ordering shit on Walmart, their online store has mostly the same exact shit that Amazon has on it. If you live close enough to one then you get same day delivery on certain things too with thier Walmart Plus which is their version of prime.
Yeah, I have to say that when I tried them, I was very pleasantly surprised by Walmart's delivery services. They're well ahead of Amazon. I don't know where Amazon is going to go with this drone delivery stuff, and maybe Amazon can pull ahead. But as things stand, Walmart makes good use of their local infrastructure to do deliveries of even stuff like refrigerated food, lets you select a time window for delivery based on demand (price varies) and gives you a one-hour delivery window, which is way better if you want to pick the stuff up without it sitting around for a long time at a doorstep.
I was particularly happy when I discovered that I could get bottles of soda (heavy, mostly water) delivered inexpensively.
But what Walmart doesn't have is the huge inventory. For what Walmart does have, they're great. But Amazon's got more stuff.
