I also have Amazon Prime, and I'm also satisfied with them. I buy many 
things from them, but I do have a car and some things I prefer to buy 
locally: meat, fruits, and vegetables (because I want to see the quality 
of what I'm getting), things that I know are less expensive at a local 
store, and a few things I want that they don't carry.

It's rare that it happens but there's also an occasional thing I buy on 
the web from someplace else.
