My biggest gripe with Amazon isn't the rising cost of prime, but, it's with the fact that my long-standing amazon account (seriously, I've had this account since 1999) is now being throttled. When I'm using my prime account, and select two day shipping, most items don't leave Amazon's warehouse until two or three days later, meaning I'm getting my "Free Two day shipping" items nearly a week later.

I love Amazon.com -- I use it for a lot of things (to the tune of almost 8K in the last six months), but, watching my account get throttled like this makes me not only want to step away from amazon prime, but, from amazon in general -- if you can't be honest with me that you're going to throttle my account/shipping speeds, please let me know. I'll gladly upgrade to next day shipping, but that doesn't mean shit if you're going to sit on my order at the warehouse side for two or three days.
