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...

It pays for the free shipping alone in a year for us. Something comes up that we need and I can order it without having to find $25 worth of stuff to get free shipping. Not to mention even the smallest order arrives in two days. I ordered some pool timer pegs a few days ago for like $2 and that was it.

How about some of us like to be frugal and aren't made of money?

If you're that tight with a dollar, Walmart is cheaper than Amazon.

Do it. They now have all the HBO shows. I've paid for it in shipping many times over.

That's not buy local in the slightest and for many things, it's simply is not cheaper at Walmart. Especially electronics and music.

Shop local.
Scan with Amazon shopper.
See lower price.
Hit instant buy.
See item delivered to your door the next day.

Yes. I wasn't recommending that he buy Walmart. I was pointing out that, if price is the only thing that matters to him and he's that tight with a buck, Walmart's cheaper than Amazon.

Personally, I'd rather pay a little more to keep local people employed. Bezos doesn't need my cash. I only look to Amazon as a last resort.

Amazon has plenty of local people around the country in Distribution centers.

I'm not going to argue the employment difference between Amazon and local stores, FFS. It's not as if it's even close. Small businesses employ more people.

Not sure what you're buying, but that's rarely true for me, especially once you consider the 10 percent sales tax I'm hit with. Amazon almost always has the better base price.

And by pretty much all accounts, is an absolutely terrible, soul-sucking place to work.
