Not to be pedantic but it'd be $119 in shipping costs for break even?
Amazon offers free shipping for orders over $50, already. While it's not the 2 day benefit. It really comes down to if you want to order X amount of small items that can't wait for you to order multiple cheap items together. So it'll depend upon your value of patience and how you evaluate the value of your time waiting.
Over a year ago because of issues with a bad Amazon customer service experience, I canceled prime. I now just wait a little longer for shipment and to order (when I have several items) and so I 100% have saved money being patient.
After overcoming the fake urgency, I think it's all mostly a scam.
Unless, you use the other services enough.
You can still pay for fast shipping and rent a prime movie a few times a year and still be better off.

- foota 8y agoI find that hard to believe. Quick google search shows >~100 million subscribers. Let's put that down at 10 billion revenue. That would only account for ~10% of their revenue
