Do you sometimes use ground shipping even though you have Prime?

I will de-select 2-day shipping and select ground if its an item I'm in no hurry to get. Just feel sorta guilty about having Amazon pay the slight extra cost when its totally unnecessary. I suspect this may be considered a "beta" move.

So you pay $80 a year not to use prime?

That doesn't make any sense to me

...You pay for that ability to get stuff sooner. Not taking advantage of that is a waste of the Prime subscription.

During Christmas I will because it's like a $1.00 credit in their music or video service back.

As for why the frick you'd do it now...

Uh...you're paying for the freeness of two day shipping. I don't understand this at all.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

9.5 hours left in the day and I've already found the dumbest thing I'm going to read all day.

OP has saved me all that time!

The shipping isn't free. You are paying for it with the yearly membership.

Would you stop shopping at Sam's just b/c you feel bad that you used your card enough to save more than they get from your membership dues as well?

You're already paying for 2 day shipping with the prime subscription. If you're going to use it selectively why not cancel prime and just pay for 2 day shipping when you need it?

You actually get a discount on 1-day shipping with Amazon Prime. I think it'a $3.99 for most items if you have Prime.
