It actually makes a lot of sense. The thing you need to remember about the US is that it is huge. Oftentimes, when you order something, it has to be shipped from ~3000 miles away. The 'standard' shipping time is 3-5 days, but is more often closer to a week.
Guaranteed 2 day shipping is very convenient, and well worth the $80 a year it costs. Especially when you consider the included streaming of movies, TV shows, and now book subscriptions.

- Leynos 15y agoUnfortunately the streaming service seems to be a US only thing which further reduces the value of the service to those elsewhere.
- _pius 15y agoExactly. Plus, it reduces the cost of next day shipping dramatically.
