[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 4184081, member: 7248"] I bargain shop, for quality items. I was needing an oil filter today. My go to filters are Wix brand mostly, I’ll use OEM Toyota paper elements instead of aftermarket, for example. Since Amazon has come on the scene, they’ve been cheaper, normally by far, than other sites and especially local places. Except today, I was this ‘’ close to buying a filter but I thought the price seemed higher than normal. I decided to check O’Reilly because they carry Wix. Come to find out, Oreillys was about $1 cheaper than amazon and I could pick it up today. Oreillys has been higher than most online stores. Glad I checked. Amazon has gone down hill and it’s descent is gaining speed. Prime membership cost is ridiculous, 1 and 2 day prime shipping seems to be nonexistent, returns are a hassle, and now prices are not competitive. I’ll be checking other retailers more often now.
