How many packages a week from Amazon constitutes a problem? Asking for a friend. It’s just so convenient! Prime shipping is 2 days, sometimes 1! However, now that Prime shipping is my norm, other retailers are so annoying with their 7-10 days for shipping. How dare they! Here are a few things I have added…
