It works for me. I live in a small town and I can get anything I need in a couple of days. I watch Amazon video frequently and get many free or inexpensive books for my Kindle. It just depends on your lifestyle.

@Group 5 minus 1 We have it and for us prime shipping alone is well worth it. We order nearly everything rather than going to stores to get toothpaste, shampoo, often tp and paper towels, over the counter medicine, etc. Also, clothing items cleaning supplies, winter salt and shovels. Then there are canned goods and food items. We have never used Amazon music but there is that also. My SO buys books and streamssome tv and movies. I hardly ever have to pay for a kindle book as most are free reading. For us it is worth it.

Wouldn't be without....fast delivery and quick resolution of any product issues. I purchase books and vitamins regularly as well as other products. My husband orders a lot throughout the month. We have had AP for years .... it is well worth the price.

Well worth it for me too and I've had it for years. Very fast and free shipping. Immediate credit on returns.

In addition to everything else mentioned Amazon now owns the rights to NFL Thursday night football. It's included with Prime.

I have had Prime since it's inception and no plans to cancel. I take advantage off all the perks offered and the fast shipping seals the deal for me. Some items come same day. I use it enough to justify the cost.

We have had Prime for many years. It has been a fantastic shopping experience for us. The majority of the time Prime has the lowest prices. You get you items within days. Returns and refunds are a breeze to do. No hassle whatsoever. Then there is the music, movies, etc. well worth the cost.

I wouldn't be without it. I order almost every day. I used to make a list and head to Target periodically, then drag all those bags home and put all the stuff away. With Prime, I order almost every day. There have been days that I order in the morning and have the item delivered same day. I had a recent purchase that I made late in the day. It was promised for delivery for between 4M and 8AM next day, It arrived around 6:45AM. Love my Amazon Prime!!!!!!!!

We love Amazon Prime. We live in an area lacking proximity to big box stores, etc. We save time, money, and frustration, and gas and continue to be amazed by what is available.

@Group 5 minus 1 I am a long time satisfied member and use many of the perks, especially for TV.

I still do comparison shopping on items I purchase since Amazon does NOT always have the lowest price even with the free shipping for Prime members.

Their customer service is excellent--courteous and responsive. Shipping is fast and accurate. Returns are accomplished easily.

I order enough that my fee is more than covered.

If you decide to join, join with AmazonSmile so that a small percentage of your purchase price goes to a charity of your choice, at no cost to you. My charity is Heifer International.

Hope this helps you make your decision.

Is that NFL Thursday a streaming thing?

Re: Amazon Prime

Laura14 — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 14:08:38 GMT

I do not have it.

I don't have time to make use of Prime Video and I always hit $25 for the free shipping.

It's rare that they make me wait too long and I find if I buy an Amazon gift card, I get the two day shipping anyway.

The most I usually wait is 4-5 days which doesn't bother me as I am not a last minute or impulse shopper. I order once or twice a month to stock up on pantry essentials and/or buy a gift so I find it's not worth it for me to pay for Prime at this time.

We've had Prime for years now and I have to say it's been great! Especially through the nonsense of the virus......seriously though we use it all the time. You can find just about anything and it's so much better than having to go out shopping, especially the way things are out there right now. I don't like to go out alone anymore. The price of it is justified in our case, also we stream a lot of movies.

@Group 5 minus 1 Yes, NFL on thursday nights is streaming.
