Re: Is Amazon Prime Worth The Money

For me Amazon Prime is worth the money. I order many products via Amazon and I love getting them within two days. Most of those products would be hard to find in my area or would take an extreme effort and use of extra gasoline going from store to store. Also, my family members do not live in my town. Most live in other states and I ship many birthday gifts and Christmas gifts via Amazon to those states. I would keep Prime if for nothing but the cheaper shipping costs. I think each person has to evaluate their own situation to determine if Amazon Prime is right for them.

Well said! For years I paid for it mostly because of the 2-day shipping - my family is also out of state, so it was worth it for all the birthdays and holidays.

Now I'm going to make more of an effort to stream things and borrow the books I can. Some workout videos are offered over Prime, so I've been using some of those this week.

You can share your prime with three other people, and that can cut down on the cost. Or give you a gift you can hand out to family members.

Re: Is Amazon Prime Worth The Money

I love Amazon Prime! I've had it for three years and now wonder what took me so long to sign up. I stream many things as well as use the two day shipping. The three family members can only use the two day shipping feature. I have wanted to gift a year's membership to my brother and they now offer that as well. The customer service is superb.

Re: Is Amazon Prime Worth The Money

I'm in the middle of my free trial. I haven't decided whether I'll keep it or not. I haven't streamed anything because I have an iPad and iPhone and haven't been able to get the air play to work. My last order arrived late on the third day of the ""two day shipping"". I think I'll probably cancel but not sure yet.
