'surprisingly easy' is laughable because I have never lived with Amazon prime

Exactly, it's like people are addicted to Amazon, like they need therapy to get out of an addiction.
Amazon sucks, it's a toxic company, just don't do it!

Its sur... ok its not that surprising to me that so many people shop with a company that is so terrible to its workers and for the climate.
