Amazon Prime

I thought I would never use it enough, but I changed my mind. In August I ordered a lawn tractor jack to enable changing of blades and such. The shipping was about $49 (it weighed over 100 lbs), so I went with the prime of $99 per year. Item shipped at no cost. Since then, I and family, have probably exceeded the original outlay by at least twice. If you order anything, chances are it is prime eligible, and lots of time we get next day delivery free.

I think it is a good deal, at least for us.

This is our first year of giving it a try and we love it. It's more than paid for itself in shipping and especially convenience and timely delivery.

Prime def pays for itself. Sucks we have to pay taxes now because of the new warehouse in MD. But still worth it in shipping costs, speed of delivery, and I don't have to deal with traffic and idiots going to a box store. Can't wait for drone deliveries, whoohoo, lol!

One of the perks I've found is, I can easily order something *SMALL* - something for a couple dollars - and not have to see a shipping fee almost as big.
You get your money's worth when you order something large, but for me, it's lots of little things that make them buy-able now.

Big fan of Prime here. I shop on Amazon a lot and the free shipping is great but also the free movies and TV shows, and you can get free Kindle books and mags, too. Well worth the annual fee.

Yeah...REALLY sucks that you have to pay taxes. So sorry you actually have to do something to help.

Yeah, she gets a day off for that. I don't think that every single thread needs to be an encounter group so she can work out her anger issues.

Only a day?

She can't be for real! I seriously laughed out loud at her this time because of the audacity! I'm pretty sure she's a jokester stokester and not to be taken seriously!

Think of the next 24 hours as SOMD-Forums Prime!

I'm sure that will do her a world of good. She'll come back all rested up and happy.

with you being on the road, how does delivery work? do you stay in one place long enough for deliveries or does someone collect stuff until you get home?

sorry to be nosy, I've just always wondered how that works.

Yup - watching season 2 of "The Man in the High Castle".

I have a PO Box as my permanent mailing address, and that forwards to wherever I am. I just call them and change the forwarding address when we move. But I've also had packages sent to my hotel or campground - they're used to transients.

Amazon Prime has definitely been worth it for me. I purchase quite a bit from them and it has been well worth it. The video and music libraries are an added bonus!

I love prime, the tv alone is worth the money for me. My husband did all his christmas shopping on prime this year, AND had them wrap it all. he didnt have to touch anything but a keyboard

he's so proud of himself

Prime is fantastic especially since my work hours have switched. Just yesterday I had to order new resistance bands bc my one broke and I knew I wouldn't make it to walmart or target in the next 24-48 hrs. It arrived at my house early this afternoon! Except now I have no excuse to miss another workout

The customer service is fantastic too. I accidentally ordered two of some pet flea and tick meds (which are non-refundable btw), called to see if there was any chance I could return them anyways...ADMITTED I was the one to screw up, and they insisted on returning me the money for one of the packages AND told me to keep it.

There are ways around it. They opened three warehouses here in Fl in 2015, and if your item is shipped from one of those we pay Fl sales taxes. However, just a little looking around before you order almost always leads to the same product that you can order from out of state. Works for me, and saves me $ sales tax.

Legal, too. I bet that really gets to ya, right, tj?

We love it here! Save a boatload in shipping - much more than the cost of the subscription.
