Amazon Prime is a great service. For $79 a year, Amazon will send practically anything that you buy by 2nd day air. There is not a minimum as long as it qualifies for Amazon Prime. If you orders something, Amazon is currently offering 3 months of "trial" for free before they bill you. That is 15 months for $79.
I feel that the Amazon Prime service is great because while I am willing to wait 2-3 days for my books or items, I am more inclined not to wait much longer, and would otherwise buy the item at the store. Also, for now, there is still no tax on buying from Amazon. Not having to pay for tax combined with the 2nd day air service makes Amazon Prime a great service, and pays for itself in no time.
With Amazon Prime, I am no longer subjected to the $25 requirement for free ground shipping. How many times have I spent another 20 minutes looking for another book to make the $25 minimum? and it was for an item that I did not really want anyways.
Yesterday, I was able to fine 4 alkaline batteries for $3.99 and Amazon Prime sends to me 2nd day air for no additional cost. This saves me a trip to Walgreens - which takes me up to an hour round-trip! I travel a lot and with 2nd day air, I can predict when the item will arrive at home or in my hotel room. If I need it next day air, it is only $3.99 extra!
