> Pay an ever increasing rate for 2 day shipping per year

Just get a prime subscription and never pay for shipping again.

> Sift through an onslaught of phony reviews and hope You get some working cheap crap

I read reviews from all over the web and then just buy it from Amazon. Never got a fake product.

You're still paying for shipping; Prime is not free.

(Not only that but not all items on Amazon are eligible for Prime)

Indeed - I think that's what tjr225 was actually referring to:

"Pay an ever increasing rate for 2 day shipping per year?"

(Emphasis mine)
