    My stuff always comes late! I get a free month on each occurance.

    I have it more so I don't have to bug them about free returns. we return a pile of stuff. since you can't touch it and not sure if it will work.

    Free shipping without prime use to be like $20 when I first did amazon, last I didn't have prime it was $30.

    Also I swear once I had prime and cancelled it my name was blackflagged and they made every shipment take that full 10 or 14 days or whatever.. When I started without prime most stuff cane in a week. Once I canceled instant 2 weeks. Some things before prime actually came overnight . Maybe it coincided with increased business and no more employees? I'm back prime a year or 2 later but now it takes them a day or more to send stuff. it use to almost always send that day or next morn? There prime trick is that there is a day processing day then 2 days start. so if you order at like 1 pm Monday they process all day Tuesday since it's after like 11 on Monday and then they ship wendesday mourn!!

    But living out in a rural area you don't have much choice. And even paying prime it's cheaper than buying from all over and paying shipping.

    I also buy lots off ebay, often they beat amazon prices from the big retailers.

    Hang on Adam. I had a package just arrived via FedEX and the tracking originally stated it to be delivered Wednesday. Sometimes things work out.

    Yeah, everything was being held three weeks for one item to arrive. They rearranged the packages so the others could ship immediately. Then I got the offending item canceled and ordered from someone who could ship it immediately.

    Well then almost everything is now an "add on item".

    Hu, just went to Amazon and played around with stuff I had been looking at last week. Seems that the free shipping is back for prime stuff without the $$ minimum (stuff that I ended up ordering from W*lm*rt because they would give free shipping - should be on my porch today). Maybe the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals were so good that Amazon had to make it up somehow? I don't know, but odd how that changed.

    I never noticed a minimum order for free ship on prime? I just ordered an SD card for my phone last night. just the $20 card and shipped it free prime.

    I've always had prime on just about everything and never a minimum? We just ordered $5 of stuff for the wife prime and it arrived next day.

    I have however had 2 orders get messed up pretty bad but then 2 out of hundreds isn't any worse than the mail man...:whistle:

    O the suspense!!
