To Amazon Prime or NOT to Amazon Prime

I'm now a member of both, and I think it's fair to say that it took me this long to "go Prime" because I was struggling to find the real savings, the added challenge I feel the Amazon site offers over the eBay site, and being honest about just how often I need it in two days. I know it's nice to think you're always getting 2-day delivery, but I've also heard that it often doesn't happen even is you order as Prime. Sure, if you complain they comp you, and that's cool, but what if you actually needed it in two days? Oh, and once I got to looking, not tat most things aren't able to be found as Prime, for my long-time Prime friends, they're saying they're seeing more-and-more items not offered as prime. IDK, we'll see.

But alas, the deal is done now. And I'm happy, I'm just trying to be objective...

I've been Prime since it started and have never once had a late delivery. I live in a state where Amazon has several warehouses which plays into that, but I've never had any of my out of state deliveries arrive late.

Well if that's true I'm in good shape... That being said, the folks who work for me in Fayetteville, AR say they collect major comps by their Prime purchases missing the two-day mark...
