Disagree, most of the time it's actually the exact same price as any online site. Go comparison shop RAM or harddrives on Amazon and Newegg. Newegg may have a larger selection but all of the major name-brand items are the same price on both sites. If some sponges are $1 cheaper on Walmart.com, who cares. I'm not going to waste 10 minutes comparison shopping for sponges; Amazon is free to make its margins there if it'd like.
Here's an example -- I found a Kingston SSD drive on Newegg that has a Limited Time Offer "See price in cart" gimmick discount. It's $1.10 more expensive on Amazon. I found another Newegg limited time discount Samsung SSD drive that's actually $0.76 cheaper on Amazon. You are not going to be saving 10-20% by waiting 3-5 days.
Juggling logins and shopping carts across a half dozen different websites isn't convenient. Coupon hunting isn't convenient. Amazon Prime is all about convenience and it delivers.
- goldenkey 11y agoActually, common household goods are going to amount to more than luxury items or electronics in terms of cost per year. So your 10 minute comparison shopping for sponges is moot. Google Shopping makes it easy to do comparison shopping. And yet Amazon doesn't want to be on Google Shopping -- I wonder why... Juggling logins and shopping carts? Heh. Nice fallacious argument.
