I got tricked into spending $99 a year for Amazon Prime:(

Next time, here's a tip, you can use amazon prime for free...

The better option is to place an order using and upgrade to prime with an OLD CREDIT CARD.

Then, change the order on the item to a current credit card.

Free shipping via Amazon prime at $0.

This is how to properly get free shipping ^.

Prime is a great deal.

Especially when combined with the savings offered by Amazon. Also, thank God for Amazon just for having some products available for purchase.

you can cancel, you know. they'll only charge you for the time you used it.

Year after year, I get more back on my rebate check than the Executive membership costs. If one just buy thier milk, eggs, butter and coffee from Costco, the savings on those items more than covers a membership.

Also the prices provided for car rentals through Costco are unbeatable.

BTW...used Costco to purchase 3 cars, OUTSTANDING.

maybe its just the super shitty mail service here, but i never, ever get packages in 2 days..never.

4 days is considered quick.

5-6 days is "normal" for a prime delivery.

i do 60 orders a month through work

why, when you can get free shipping in 3-5 days?

60 X 10 (nominal shipping cost) per month = 600.00 per month

versus, 99.00 per year

to impress a woman, because men don't need so much useless shits

Nope....I run a fabrication business and I can order most everything from Amazon.....switches, valves, tools, electronic sub assemblies, paints/industrial coatings, mold making material,etc....

since I'm by a hub, if I place my order by 9pm I can often get the part the next day....faster than my normal vendors that have to place a special order taking a week or more...

Amazon is Waaaaay more than consumer goods...

Happened to me too. The bank told me to complain and I got my money back. It must happen a lot as when I gave the amount,the bank knew straight away.

They will cancel it.........

yeah, and actually got in on sale for $79. which is why work agreed to pay for it.
still a scam in my mind, 2 day delivery is the major advantage and it takes 4-6 days to get anything..

again wanting to state that south florida mail is probably the worst in the whole country and that may be my issue, not prime.

im out. y'all have a safe weekend!

Common sense is not strong with the OP!

satanic company is satanic. hence the devil tail in the logo.

Fuck that Bezos Washington Post crook.

They charged me for prime and I didn't even go on the site...don't leave your credit card attached to your acct or they will just charge you...

What made you think you need a shipping "arrangement" with Amazon?

Stop being such a consumptive pig.

If its too good to be true, it probably is.

For an alternative to amazon check out jet dot com.

^^this: We do get our t.v. from a roku box and the internet. Amazon prime gives us access to more movies.

guys for the last time, switch to JET or walmart

jet will actually get you 1-2 day shippin gif you are close to their DC, for free

no its not

you are supporting BEZOS on something you don't need to on

jet.com wil give you free 1-2 day shipping if you are in right DC Set up

This ^^

My schedule is way to busy to have time to go shopping for most items so I order about 10-15 times per month.

98% of the time delivery is free-2 days regardless of the item's weight. Light items from a nearby wearhouse are same day and free. The prime-air delivery (via drone-same day) should be coming to my area soon.


The movie library and music library are a nice perk as well. Also being able to check out books on my Kindle (and not having to buy them) is a money saver.

I'm happy with my membership.

I got it when I bought a laptop. There was a processing error on their end that i wasnt notified of firr a few days and I decided not to get the laptop. Forgot I signed up for prime as part of the deal for the laptop that was never shipped and got charged 100$

they offer prime at 50% off if you have a .edu email address.

I only pay 50$ a year for prime and I do all of mu shopping there haven't been to welfare-mart in years..


muuhahahhaahaa

I agree. Why pay $55.00 a year just to shop there. I shop for my food at Vons. Using the Vons club card and their "just for you" program I accumulate gas points. Twice a month I fill my gas tank with gas at Vons saving one dollar a gallon for two tanks or $30.00 a month.

I live for the day when I can buy marijuana's through
Amazon Prime...

It's actually a very good service. Use up all you can!

I purchased over 100 items on Amazon in 2016. But, I always check to see if they have the best price. I found a $700 camera for my son which was the same price on Amazon as B&H photo. But, B&H sent it tax free, so I saved $48. They also gave me free 2 day shipping).

I stream a few movies during the year and listen to the music which is free. So, for about $8. a month and the convenience and gas savings of not going to a brick and mortar store, it is just fine.

Also, if you don't get it when promised, you call customer service and tell them you want consideration for the item not being delivered as promised. In the past they have given me a free month extension and also dollar amounts depending on the item. I believe the most was $20. The thing to do if you contact customer service is to immediately ask for a US based representative so you don't have to explain yourself a half dozen times.
