Amazon AMAZING!

I recently( within the last 4 months) joined Amazon Prime.... NOW I see why it is so popular... I can find almost everything I need... at a great price .... free shipping and get the iitem(s) the same day I order in most cases. Why wait 7 to ten days for something you can have NOW?

. Yesterday I ordered two things in the morning and they were at my door by 6pm! I have got to say it is going to be hard for other companies to compete with this free same day delivery. I think people like the get it NOW Philosophy of Amazon.... and The $99 I payed for the year has long been payed for with all the free shipping and services I get with Prime.

I held out for awhile coming from the old school of Boomers... but now I SEE THE LIGHT!

If you have been holding out as I was for so long.. give the free trial month a try. Why Not?

I've had Prime since 2010 ... never looked back. Best thing since sliced bread!

ETA: I also get same day or next day delivery ... I always choose the 8 a.m.-10 a.m. window.

Amazon Fresh is superb ... I get my summer fruit and vegetables, milk, eggs, yogurt, deli meats without stepping off my front porch.

@SeaMaiden- I'm so glad you like it! I know you were on the fence about it. I love Amazon Prime.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

How fortunate that you're in a same-day zone.

I live in a metro area, but my location is not in Amazon's same day zone, nor is it in the next day zone.

So with Prime, I would get orders in 2+ days, but I already receive orders in 2 days, and I don't need video or music feeds, so for me Prime is not worth its cost.

I'm one of the few here that isn't all that impressed with Amazon in general, so I won't be paying for prime anytime soon.

I've had wrong orders, lost orders, trouble getting refunds on lost orders (actually delivered to another state, and someone I don't know). They tend to ship Fed Ex, which I hate, as they leave the boxes in the driveway in the rain (we have a huge covered porch just ten paces up the front walk, but they can't figure that out). And when you order from a vendor on Amazon, forget any kind of customer service in resolving the problem.

If I want fast shipping I go to Walmart now for many things. Free, within two days, and no annual fee.

@SeaMaiden. Love it! Whenever either of us say we want something, we look on Amazon, order and it's here amazingly fast. We have all our huge bags of pet food on auto delivery so there is no lugging them from store to car to house. The price for the Prime works to our advantage very well.

@SeaMaiden I love Amazon Prime and have had it for years. I get so many items from them that I could not begin to list them all. I live in a very rural area and they r perfect for my needs. When I think of something I need or "want" Amazon is my first stop.

I think it's a wonderful service for those who do a lot of ordering or who don't live near shopping. For me, it wouldn't be worth it.

I, too, gave in and joined Prime recently. For me, definitely worth it. Loved Walmart, right up until they squashed and exploded a container of syrup with a heavy object. I can still smell it and I'm still cleaning up the sticky mess. Not sure if I can even salvage enough of the box to recycle. Yes, I sent the mess back and am waiting for a replacement, but still...
