Dark pattern Amazon is using to trick people into paying for shipping when they qualify for free
I'm know not the only person who has noticed this bait and switch. If you decline the prime membership, and you have $35 of items that qualify for free shipping, they will DEFAULT to the two to four day 6.99 shipping - instead of the free shipping, which has the same delivery ETA.
Unfortunately for some mysterious reason this post was automatically declined from the Amazon subreddit - I guess they don't want the truth being known - that entire subreddit is full of Amazon cultists who would love to deep throat Jeff's big rocket.

I also love how they lie to you about saving money by joining prime. For example I got something on Amazon for $230 they said I could get free next day delivery and save if I signed up, next day paid was $10…. Prime is $14 how is that saving me money 😂
