Re: Amazon permanently shuts down Prime Pantry
#3It was a strange offering from Amazon. They had a very limited selection coupled with poorly boxed items meant that I only tried it twice before giving up on it. All the items in the second and last order I received were thrown in a single box with no effort to protect the contents from each other.
I get the feeling this was a common occurrence, because the interest in it amongst my friends vanished almost as quickly as it started.

#4A better headline would have been "Amazon merges Prime Pantry into regular .com site".
> "As part of our commitment to delivering the best possible customer experience, we have decided to transfer Amazon Pantry selection to the main Amazon.com store so customers can get everyday household products faster, without an extra subscription or purchase requirement"

#5Good riddance. Most people just want to buy mundane household items without having to solve knapsack problems.

#7It was an odd market niche. Only dry packaged groceries so I couldn't go "grocery shopping", but also could not be combined with my Fresh order.
The limited selection and lack of a price benefit meant it wasn't worth the hassle of another order.
Re: Amazon permanently shuts down Prime Pantry
#8I had said many times Amazon had too many ways to order groceries:
1. Amazon.com
2. Amazon Prime Pantry
3. Amazon Fresh
4. Whole Foods via Amazon Prime Now
5. Amazon items via Amazon Prime Now*
*I never figured out what exactly this was. Was it just Amazon.com listing reproduced in the Prime Now app? Was it Amazon Fresh and/or Prime Pantry items? Was it some other set of items?

#9I never understood what this product was to be honest.

That's a great way to put it.
