Their business, their rules.
I have prime and get lots of same day/next day stuff for my membership fee. |

Then I got prime on sale. And now still think as you do. It's a waste, half the items I try to get are not prime eligible anyway. And building up a $50 for free shipping is plenty easy. It's way overrated. |

This is just another version of customer loyalty and the price of a seat on the plane.
For some the deal is great, for others marginal or a losing bet. |

Everyone knows prime has video and music streaming services included right? With some pretty good original series and other shows Netflix doesn't have.

Do people not have prime? yes. there are people without prime member ships They are commonly called "Nascar fans" and can spotted by a # 3 , an 8, or 88 on their car/truck, a mullet, and are frequently seen drinking bud light. Places you'll never see a nascar fan in are schools, colleges, libraries, and book stores. |

Rock auto isn't cheaper than prime. the monroe struts I bought were $72.86 with 2 day delivery from the post office (they ship from the ruskin fl warehouse 100 miles away) the same strut is $65.79 at rock auto....but 2-3 day postal shipping is $10.46 that brings up even. paying rock auto for next day shipping is $20 an extra $10 from prime... but if everything is shipping from the same amazon wharehouse you pick over night on the lower priced item and 2 day on the other items they will package and send them all over night. I've done this several times. |

Sure, there are those examples where if you shop in such a way that you need rapid delivery, you can do these "calculations". If you are the type of shopper who needs everything last minute RFN, and buy from places that screw you with full list shipping cost, Prime is great. Though.. if that's how you shop, perhaps just getting the car and going to the store is something retro to take a look at. |

Does anyone think "Prime" will continue at the same price / service level? Once they own you, you can never escape.

Once "Amazon Now" hits rural NH (app. 2056), it will be perfect. I slowed down quite a bit when Amazon started charging sales tax in Michigan. Amazon's biggest edge was cost, but now many items can be found at B&M stores (or other online retailers) for a very similar (if not cheaper) price. I mostly stick to "Deal of the Day" items and the free Prime Videos. |

Prime and non prime prices are sometimes different. I had two different browsers opened and noticed for the items I was looking to buy, that the non-Prime were less. I let my Prime account lapse and now just wait until I have enough for free shipping.

Balls. There goes my fiendishly clever plan for lowballing them. I've got 200+ small things on my wishlist. Mostly books, bad sci-fi movies, prepper-related items. When I buy something from amazon I'd pad the order with enough small items from my wishlist to just barely exceed the free shipping minimum. Like playing Price is Right. Yes I'm still buying 'more stuff' from them, but almost everything I bought was 'free shipping'. And I'm not handing them what is it now $70? for Prime.
