I've bought a lot of stuff from Amazon and still do but shop around 1st. Their prices aren't the best on the web anymore by a long shot. They got people used to their low prices and then started jacking them up. They have some good deals but don't count on it without shopping around 1st.

This house loves Prime. We buy enough from them that the shipping pays for the subscription so the video is essentially free.
Also we cut off the satellite dish a while back and are doing just fine with free local stations plus Netflix @ $8/month and Prime at $100/year.

Prime has all the advantages that were mentioned above. Only occasionally do I buy somewhere else due to a better price with all things considered....tax and shipping.
Easily pays for itself just in shipping savings alone.

I'm a huge fan. Anymore, there's not much they don't sell.

I use Prime because it's easier and cheaper than driving into town. Yup, same here.

I signed up for prime in Sept 2011 with free trial.
The wife thought it was too expensive.... took her two days to change her mind..... years later she is still using my pass word to use prime to watch movies.

Don't forget the photo backup that's included with Prime. Unlimited storage of digital photos on their system. I back up all my pics there.

I have it and didn't know that Thanks!

the $99 isn't bad annually......I buy alot of Amazon...
nearly an hour away from any big stores is my reason...
free ship....no tax...IF you have no Amazon in your State..
free music & movie streaming for the Prime paying member...
along with sharing with 4 other family members or friends...
all they get is the 2 day ship free

That's a very nice option... but spend $75 or so and get an external hard drive and keep a copy of your pics there also. Seen too many online photo places change their policies or make a screw up and "Poof!", there goes somebody's memories.

You can also set up multiple ship-to addresses and cards for Prime. We split a membership every year for the past 3 with my in-laws. Saves a ton on shipping and fuel costs driving around looking for an item that you know exactly what you want.

I laugh. I got Prime years ago to read the free books. I read a lot. Kindle type reading. The bonus is the few Items they sell that you can order with the free shipping  . I think they now have 4 big warehouses in the DFW area. Plus the third party deals. Ordered an out dated riding lawn mower gas tank last summer. Needed one and received one from some small lawnmower shop in Alabama. He got rid of some old stock, I got a new old stock gas tank. This kind of stuff is where the help is.

Last fall I ordered 3 sets of winter tires from Amazon. Each set was shipped Second-Day Air for free....to Alaska. Shipping for the same tires by Tire Rack would have been $220 per set!
