I bought a generator from them and got the free 2 day shipping. That thing was like 200lbs. A guy delivered it in an 18-wheeler and had to drive that thing through a little traffic circle in my neighborhood. I felt a little bad about that one.
I've spent an obscene amount of money in the 3 years I've had prime. I've definitely saved money on the necessities, but it's easy to one-click the impulse stuff. The subscribe and save stuff is great too. In my opinion, Amazon Prime is the best deal in online shopping.
I routinely find items priced lower someplace else online, but the difference is usually less than the cost of shipping. I go out to stores much less than I used to, and when I do I compare everything to Amazon. It's not uncommon for me to purchase several items from my phone and walk out empty handed. It's getting to the point where I mostly only go to stores for food and things that can't wait a day.
Sooner or later brick and mortar retailers are going to experience massive fallout from Prime.
- bostonvaulter2 15y agoThis effect is even more dramatic in Hawaii because you always get screwed for shipping and things that say free shipping (such as newegg) almost always don't include Hawaii.
- silverlight 15y agoI did the same thing with a 200lb safe o_0. But we have a new baby and have also easily spent in the high 4 figures at least over the last year on baby gear and miscellaneous.
