I love Prime, I order online a lot because my local shopping options are limited. If I need a practical item, I know that I will have it in 2 days, which is reassuring. I also use Prime video, and I actually like it a little better than Netflix. I wouldn't be without it.

I've had Amazon Prime since it started. I don't buy anything that isn't Prime eligible.

I wouldn't be without Prime now ... their customer service is fantastic; I get a free book monthly, Prime videos (the series Bosch is worth the price of admission by itself).  

 

Last couple of weeks I ordered a top of the line coffee maker ... it lasted one day and then kaput ... I had already thrown away the shipping boxes.  C.S. sent me a replacement which arrived the next day ... returned defective item in that container.  Problem solved.

I love Prime.  Not only do you get 2 day shipping, that is VERY reliable, you get movies, music and books.  Its great.

I have a lot of auto-deliveries and, no, they aren't shipped by Prime service.   I never have a shipping fee, though, AND I still get them 99.9% of the time within 2 days of shipment. HTH

I just got my bill for Prime and it was more than $99.00.  It was $106.90.  Also I don't buy it just for the shipping, which pays for the membership and some.  I buy it for the TV shows I watch on Prime which is similar to netflix and the cloud photo storage.

I love me my Prime!

 

When I lived in the city I didn't need it, for multiple reasons. Now that I am pretty rural, I couldn't be without it.

 

Yes, I do order more than I did before - all things I could never buy within 60 miles of here at best, and without making multiple forays even so. That $99 is so worth the time and gas money.

 

I also love Prime Video, and the books & magazines available if I want them.

 

When I'm searching for an item, I always filter by "Prime Eligible." It's pretty rare, with the things I order, that there is no Prime. I don't mind if it takes 3 days instead of 2; I'll survive.  And, as always, it's 2-day shipping, NOT "2 days from order to receipt" as some are convinced Amazon "promises."

Line many others I love my Prime membership. Not only do we get free shipping (which is the BEST benefit living in HI), but we also get free movies & TV. I think it's well worth $99 a year for the free shipping alone! We order enough products that it pays for itself in no time me,

I have had a prime membership for 3 or 4 years. Only you can determine if it's worth your while. I order fairly often and usually order from vendors that offer the Amazon Prime shipping. Also every month they offer about 6 books that you can choose from for free. You also get to listen to some music playlists they have. I don't take advantage (that's on me) to Amazon Prime videos. I think for for $99 a year, which breaks down to about $8.25 a month, it's worth it to me.
