Amazon, good or bad?

Do not want. We have too much traffic now.

Space....the final frontier.

It's not a comment on a person's character because they buy things from a certain company. I know who and what most Hollywood celebrities are about and I still watch some movies and TV. I use Google. If I only did business with companies that have a similar world view as mine, I most likely wouldn't own anything, go anywhere or eat/drink most products.

As I pointed out earlier...much of the stuff I order from Amazon is from other sellers that sell thru Amazon. It's not ALL about Amazon.

As usual, I'm late to the party, but this sums it up for me. And BG hit on another point that I love: Prime shipping

I ordered a $4.95 trumpet cleaning thingy for my son. Free 2 day shipping. I win, again. You can't drive from a Denver warehouse to my house for $5. You'd need more than $5 in water if you peddled up here on a bicycle.

Here's what I do with auto parts:
Check Rockauto, find the part. Copy the part #.
Go to Amazon and paste into the search bar. Many times the part is there.
Sometimes the part is a few bucks more on Amazon, but shipping is free with Prime, and it arrives in 2 days.
Rockauto charges for shipping (even more for 2 day shipping) so many times it's cheaper to go through Amazon in the end.
Rockauto is just a real easy place to find the part #.

It's funny. Lefties are usually trying to pry my hard earned money from my hands. Amazon saves me A LOT. More ching for ammo. Thanks lefties!

Once the Colorado location is complete that same free Prime shipping will put that item on your front porch same-day. Not to mention usually the cheapest price all-in. Pretty hard to beat that level of service.

and do all your amazon purchases thru smile.amazon.con and select your favorite pro-2a charity who will receive a tiny bit of each purchase. It's not much, but every penny I can get amazon to give to a pro-2a group is a win.

^^ Good point. Mine go to the local animal shelter...but a good gun group would be a great idea.

Not being political, what is your recommendation for a good gun group?

True, forgot about that nugget. I've been using the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund for the past couple of years. I'm curious to hear what others are donating to.

I haven't looked at what's available thru Smile...but I searched "NRA" and several things popped up including the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund.
