The best and easiest way. Especially with Venmo or Zelle as a quick repay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted January 14, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 14, 2022 It's probably not worth it just for the free shipping, since you can often get things cheaper on other sites, some of which offer free shipping at relatively low order levels. But if you order some things and would watch any of the amazon prime videos, it may be worth it. You might like the older Canadian series, Being Erica.

I intended to cancel within the 30 days, but then discovered Amazon Instant Video - a great substitute for cable TV-rerun, documentary, and movie channels. Since I had cut cable it worked great! Since then, I got Fios TV but I order small items from Amazon often enough that free shipping is worth the $120/year. I used to to wait to order what I wanted until I had enough to qualify for free shipping ($35 back then) and it came fairly quickly, so the advantage for me is not having to wait when I only want a $12.99, etc. single thing.

donkpow Posted January 14, 2022 Share #15 Posted January 14, 2022 The number one reason I go with Amazon when compared to other sites is security. I don't have to pay a dozen people on a dozen sites when I shop Amazon. I pay Amazon. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to spend $25. If you need to run your total up to reach $25 buy some chain lube or Kind bars or shampoo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted January 14, 2022 Share #17 Posted January 14, 2022 We watch shows on BritBox with our Prime. They have this weekly nature program called Winterwatch that shows landscapes and night footage of animals. It’s very relaxing. I also watch the farmer show, This Farm Life. It’s like All Creatures, but for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted January 14, 2022 Share #18 Posted January 14, 2022 You can get access to digital books and music with a Prime membership. Those are a couple of the value added services. Prime video gives me access on the TV to IMDBTV. That's where I watch Perry Mason and Jim Rockford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted January 14, 2022 Share #20 Posted January 14, 2022 While I use it, many of which are next day delivery and no minimum. Now only single order as found out the hard way that saved both together for single delivery and received on the later date. Also use for free Prime TV movies and set up several play list on Prime Music for streaming during drives. Returns? Take them to Kohls and not only don't you have to re-pack and ship, but Kohls gives a $5 off coupon (one week time limit) for any items in Kohls which can be added to other discounts. Never have tried returning an item to Kohls as an Amazon Return, then purchase the same item cheaper with the $5 coupon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the product is broken or the wrong size Amazon takes it back and refunds your money. If the product is not as good as you thought it was Amazon refunds your money. There's a trend here. And, with free shipping you will often find that Amazon is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to return it, they just gave me my money back and said keep it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
