I'll gladly pay a similar or even higher price to avoid having to hunt for what I want in a bunch of other places.

Don't quite understand why so many people use Amazon Prime. I just assumed it would be cheaper than going to Target, Costco or Natural Grocers, it's not. Had Amazon Prime for 2 months, and nothing was even close to as cheap as what I can get it for in those stores. Usually grocery items, non-perishable stuff was about 60% more. Only thing I found good deals on is what I typically buy on amazon, clothes, gifts, electronics, etc.

I don't use it. I have like 15 items that I'd like at some point by aren't in any hurry to get in my saved items. If I need something and I'm a little short, I look at those items to fill the difference to get the free shipping. Normally it's simple stuff like replacement usb cables or a game I might get the kids for their birthday or Christmas, etc.

Walmart and Sam's aren't allowed in Los Angeles so I don't have that option. Costco is a 60 minute round trip drive and that doesn't include parking (which has taken as long as 20 minutes to get a spot) nor shopping. I do as much shopping online as possible and order at least 200 items per year with Amazon Prime, many of which are delivered Same Day. I don't have to drive, don't have to deal with traffic, don't have to deal with "Sorry, we're out of stock" and don't have to deal with people. As my city becomes more dense, it's likely that I'll use Amazon to deliver my groceries as well. And free Amazon Video & Music has its perks as well. Over the holidays, I'll load Amazon Music on my iPhone to stream Christmas music in the car for the kids. I'll also Uber more and more, as paying $10 dollars for parking or $2 dollars per hour on the street (if you can find it) is absurd. There's a million reasons to have Amazon Prime and very few reasons not to have it. |

I'm a convenience stuff guy too usually. I don't do ANYTHING around my house. I don't mow, I don't clean my house, I don't clean my gutters, I don't do laundry, I don't cook, I don't fix my fences, I don't pull weeds. Nothing. I just pay some swinging dick to do that. I guess I don't mind going to the store that much. I know exactly what I want, I usually shop at 9pm when nobody is there anyway. And sometimes I find new products I want to buy. Until Amazon Prime is a more cost effective option, it is not for me. For those of you who it takes 45min+ travel to do all of that shit, I can see it to be more of a viable option.

There are usually enough Prime Sellers in Arizona and Nevada that I can usually avoid the sales tax. |

I'm with you, but eBay is an extra minute I'm willing to take on bigger ticket items (PWC oil!!!). And the occasional sanity check to ensure you're not paying too much is worth a small hunt. I've found that extra few minutes to be worth the extra few minutes lately.

Been a Prime member since 2010. There is rarely week goes by I don't have order(s) arrive from them. Not having to go through the brick and mortar hassle is so worth it. Same day/next day delivery is fantastic.

Worth every penny to avoid going into the jungle known as retail stores.

You should be getting a dollar credit to use in music or apps and or pantry. If my 2 day prime doesnt arrive I always get credited. It always seems this happens when UPS hands over to USPS.

Same here. Just gotta call or email about it. I generally get either 1 month credit on Prime or anywhere from $5-$20 credit. |
