I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don't like but has an alternative?

I assume they mean having it arrive within 48 hours, which is not typical of most online shopping.

Even more so for free shipping. Most places will charge you a fortune to get express shipping and a moderate price to get shipping that takes like 2 weeks. If they even have free shipping, you'll have to spend a hefty amount to get it and even then, good fucking luck if you're not American (a ton of sites ship to both the US and Canada, but exclude Canada from any free shipping options, plus charge us extra to boot).

It feels like Amazon has no real competition where shipping speed and price are concerned.
