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...

$67 seems a bit steep for a single day of Amazon prime.

I always used to get things in 1 or 2 days after ordering, but they recently very quietly changed to "strictly adhering to the terms and conditions" which only call for 2 day delivery AFTER order processing. So now the deliveries are closer to 4 days.

they also recently quit allowing sharing of accounts, which sucked because I split mine 5 ways.

This. We subscribe to Amazon prime for 2 years now. It pays for itself at Christmas time when you are cramming to get all your shopping done and in time for Christmas. We've never received anything later than 2 days with Prime. That's been our experience anyway.

I've never had anything take more than 2 days, and some stuff has shown up same day. I live in a major city though so take it FWIW.
