To Amazon Prime or NOT to Amazon Prime
Sorry if Q, but I'm on the fence about doing the whole Amazon Prime thing. Seems like getting rid of Netflix all but pays for it, but wanted to ask the opinions of others in this Mecca of awesome knowledge called Chiefs Planet..

Is Amazon Prime really worth it over eBay when you buy, let's say, 5-7 items a month? I ask because I always do the "price+shipping" deal, so it seem like it's a wash at some level. That being said, "Prime" would ALWAYS mean two-day shipping, and that's something I hardly ever do on eBay, so it could be a deal that makes it worth it enough to buy 15-20 things a month. The whole "eliminating some of the instant gratification culture/concern" deal...


Oh, and I've heard that if you use an "edu" account it's free for six months (perhaps not a big deal over a lifetime!!), but is then like half the cost. Does anybody know if that's true? If so, and it' the son who has the "edu" account, how does "Dad" pull off that scam without having the kid able to buy pretty-much anything he's ever wanted?

Thanks in advance... Just looking for some opinions before I leap...

Sure, makes sense to me. I think of Amazon the same way I think of Costco: you can be pretty sure that you'll get a GOOD price there (assuming we're not talking about random 3rd party sellers), but it's not necessarily guaranteed that you'll get the BEST price.

If they don't hit the guaranteed deliver by date, hell yes. Like srvy said, almost never happens unless UPS makes a handoff to USPS.

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.

Same Day is awesome.

I'm gonna guess it's an urban vs. rural thing. In Denver, we're still a year or so from same day, but 2 day is pretty reliable. My parents are in a small Kansas town, and it's much more iffy.

We got hit with our yearly $100 fee last week. We don't use it near as much due to Oklahoma and Amazon charging taxes now.

I mainly buy books from Amazon. Rarely do I buy it using prime. It's usually cheaper to buy used even with a $4 shipping fee from a seller on Amazon.

The pantry is an area I've not used. Every time I'm tempted it just doesn't seem to be the deal I would have hoped. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I haven't been able to make that work either. I think of grocery shopping completely differently than non-grocery shopping.

I use the pantry for things I might drive all over town for and never find. Got some pink curing salt.

Use it all the time, and occasionally watch the included TV.

Watched the entire series of The Wire because of Amazon Prime. That was fun.

Even bought a Nikon scope off Amazon Prime. It was priced best and with 2-day shipping, it was a quick turnaround to get it put together.

Also great for near-last minute shopping.
