As to Prime? It's all bull.


I just order everything "Free Shipping" and it comes when it comes. That is it....

Thanks it I didn’t ask for a next step. I was just trying to let people know. I thought they’d be equally surprised to learn its an empty word as used with Prime. I was quite taken aback to learn it, perhaps naive to expect a words meaning to matter.

I am actually quite charming and funny, yes. Yes, it bothers me they use the word guarantee and cannot tell me what that means in the context of Prime. Again I know integrity is out of fashion but principle matters to me. I’m actually more disturbed that it doesn’t bother everyone.

Yet you are not upset enough or bothered enough to actually want to do something about that in addition to venting about it.

And why should it bother everyone?

It's not an empty word. You were compensated $25.

Yes, but you also have to spend at least $35 to get free shipping without a red card.

As I said before, if I'm buying a $15 bag of dog food, I don't want to search around for $20 worth of stuff to get the free shipping. I want to order my one item and be done. If I want to buy a $5 charging cable, I want to buy it and be done. I don't want to waste money on extra junk I don't need, stock up on items I don't have to store, or save things in my cart until I jeed enough items to reach the minimum order amount.

And that's why I like Amazon and Prime. For the most part I go there, get a reasonable price, and free shipping. No muss, no fuss, no taking time to surf the net to find the best deal when combining price and shipping.

Plus, if I'm unhappy with something, they usually fix it with no questions asked.

Sure, some things I buy, I have noticed it is not THE best price guaranteed, but no one does that. In general they beat most prices out there. Plus, I'm in Hawaii, so everything is more expensive. Prime and Amazon does well for my budget.

If my prime order is late, I get at least a free month but usually a $20 gift card.

They’ve stopped giving out a free month apparently.
