Abandon all hope ye with a Prime membership. I seem to be ordering something from Amazon on a near-daily basis lately. Every time I'm looking for something, Amazon turns up as the place to order from. Here are the things I've ordered in the last few months: Little Giant 599123 ACS-2 Condensate Overflow Safety Switch Low-Voltage 6' Lead Wires 2 of Litefuze (Black) Grounded Europe Adapter - USA to Europe Heavy Duty Adaptor Plug German Schuko Given Up for Dead: American POWs in the Nazi Concentration Camp at Berga Oster BVCB07-Z 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender, Stainless Steel Hydro Tools 87958 Protective Pool Ladder Mat and Pool Step Pad, 45-Inch by 60-Inch OXO Good Grips All-Purpose Squeegee Irwin Industrial Tools 2078300 8-Inch Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper with ProTouch Grips The Shave Well Company a TRULY FOG FREE Shower Shave Mirror. Truly fogless by design. Will not fall off of the wall. Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Gauge Mae Ploy Thai Panang Curry Paste - 14 oz jar Perfect Pet Tubby Kat Cat Door with 4 Way Lock And LEXAN Flap Shimano EF-51 Triple 7-Speed EZ Fire Shifter Set Dorman 931-401 Door Lock Actuator National Hardware V1345 Touch'n Hold Screen/Storm Door Closer, White The friggin' door lock actuator for my truck was half price what they were asking for from the Toyota dealership. Whoda thunk that you Amazon sells that? |
Shit, I woke up one morning after a drinking binge and visiting the survival forums to find I had purchased everyone in my house a tent, backpack, mountain house, knives, axes, sleeping bags, compasses, a 15 gallon gas drum, a new netbook, a cellphone cover, and an Al Bundy "Polk High" football jersey t-shirt. It was an $800 lesson. 
ETA-it's the one click ordering on the Amazon App on my phone that really gets me. It don't have to do shit but push a button and awesome stuff is on the way. |

I hate going into town to get stuff. I have been buying car parts, gun stuff, and even bought a couple of cases of gravy mix that we use here.... 48 packs. I buy tonight, work my 24 hour shift tomorrow, and brown Santa is banging on the door after I get out of the shower after work. I love it. |

BTW, if I didn't have Prime, I probably would not even consider ordering it. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's big enough, and that's what matters. And it is fogless. I have it mounted on the wall adjacent to the showerhead and it doesn't really get wet over there. I didn't even have to heat it up the second time I used it. So far, I'm very happy with it. |

I am ignorant and dumb I guess, what is Amazon Prime vs. Amazon? Free 2-day shipping on Prime-eligible items, $3.99/item next day shipping on Prime-eligible items. Edit: Plus a bunch of free movie/tv rentals from Amazon's streaming media service (you'll need a Tivo, connected Bluray player, or other compatible device to access them) |

It has cost me many a dollar. I hate/love it. Perty much.  This. Just looked at my orders sent for the last 30 days. Over 200 books. Ugh, the wife unit is going to kill me!!! I've ordered over 1000 books in the last year. Damn! No wonder my Kindle is up over 1800 books now.

The furnace in my house came from Amazon. $3.99 overnight shipping!!!! Not only was the shipping great, but the price was cheaper than anywhere else online (one place was $10 cheaper but wanted $90 for freight shipping and $25 lift gate fee), and much cheaper than any of the local places (who didn't really want to sell it without installation anyway). Amazon has everything, if they don't have it you just don't need it. They ship quick, and if you ever have a problem with an order they take care of it. Every retailer in America had better be watching, Amazon is going to eat their lunch. |

Quoted: Quoted: Prime is 100% worth it. And if you are in a state where Amazon charges sales tax (  ), look for "Sold by <merchant name>, Fulfilled by Amazon" items. No tax on those.  But then you're paying S&H.  Not always. I buy cases of BBQ Corn Nuts prime eligible and tax free. I wish I was in a Pre-ban Prime state though |

Anything that's Prime-eligible and sold by a different company (but fulfilled by Amazon.com) is subject to the same shipping charges as Amazon-stocked Prime-eligble stuff. Free 2-day or $3.99 "gimme it now". |
