To Amazon Prime or NOT to Amazon Prime

Sorry if Q, but I'm on the fence about doing the whole Amazon Prime thing. Seems like getting rid of Netflix all but pays for it, but wanted to ask the opinions of others in this Mecca of awesome knowledge called Chiefs Planet..

Is Amazon Prime really worth it over eBay when you buy, let's say, 5-7 items a month? I ask because I always do the "price+shipping" deal, so it seem like it's a wash at some level. That being said, "Prime" would ALWAYS mean two-day shipping, and that's something I hardly ever do on eBay, so it could be a deal that makes it worth it enough to buy 15-20 things a month. The whole "eliminating some of the instant gratification culture/concern" deal...


Oh, and I've heard that if you use an "edu" account it's free for six months (perhaps not a big deal over a lifetime!!), but is then like half the cost. Does anybody know if that's true? If so, and it' the son who has the "edu" account, how does "Dad" pull off that scam without having the kid able to buy pretty-much anything he's ever wanted?

Thanks in advance... Just looking for some opinions before I leap...

We?? You're FedEx? If so, cool. I'd rep you but it won't let me, I did earlier...

And a box with size 10.5 shoes is "small"?

I don't know exactly how it works, I don't work for the package side of the deal.

Dude I have had 3 cards that I pay off in full every month for a while now...

Nothing wrong with free stuff unless you are paying 25% interest to get the free stuff

Shit, I am so paranoid I pay them off almost every week in full, i got in trouble with them once when I was a kid and that made life hard on me for a long time.

I was young, stupid and undisciplined and was married to a woman who was the same = Disaster and to be honest it was probably the straw that broke the camels back in our marriage

Well, yeah. It's just that you were the one who insisted that I was an irresponsible dumbass for doing exactly that back in the day.

Well, I took forever, but I just started my Prime Trial/Membership today. Sorry it took so long, but I just wasn't seeing the money think "make it SOOOOOOO worth it", but alas I just finally did it. I'll cancel the Netflix account, near the end of its bulling cycle to makeup for the annual fee, so it's a wash I guess. I had just done a LOT of comparing, and I almost always found eBay easier to search, and just enough cheaper to make paying for the expedited delivery a wash. LOL, and I go to Prime over a showerhead for my son's college dorm room! All-in-all 18 cents cheaper on eBay, so what the hay!!

I know I can't complain because I knew it before I signed-up, but my first complaint with Amazon will be that they're doing what they can to keep streaming off of Droid devices. i get why, but it's pretty lame. If THAT'S what they think is keeping the Kindle alive, well they need to just drop it then... I found the hacked Flash player for 4.4 kitkat, I use the Dolphin browser already, and figured out that you have go into Prime to tell them that you want to use Flash instead of Sliverlight. LOL!

But I finally did it. Thanks to all who helped me. Y'all all rock!
