One tip / trick. Anytime you receive a package late, let Amazon know. They will extend their Prime service to you by 1 month. I recently had several packages arrive late around Christmas time and had my Prime services extended by 4 months.

Even if the late arrival is due to inclement weather, like it was this week? I ordered a propane heater with next day shipping on Monday that didn't arrive until yesterday, but that's because UPS wasn't running its trucks here.

Also, people in this thread are why Amazon is going to raise the price. Fake student discounts, sharing your Prime shipping, etc. If everyone paid their $79, we'd still be good.

Amazon instant streaming is absolute and complete shite compared to Netflix

Interface wise I agree completely, but catalog wise they are fairly comparable.

My delayed packages were not due to inclement weather, although I suspect that Amazon, if you raised a fuss, would extend your Prime membership by a month.

The shipping is great but they have greatly cut that in the last year. There are many items that now require further purchases in order to get free shipping.. Amazon instant streaming is absolute and complete shite compared to Netflix. If it were a replacement to netflix I wouldnt mind the cost increase as I could just drop nextflix. But 40 a year and I probably will not renew. 10 dollars a month to have free shipping means to me that I have to buy 2 items a month in order to pretty much break even on the "free" shipping.

I still don't understand the add-on stuff very well, kinda pisses me off at times.

I actually won't be renewing my Prime account this year, because my dad has a Prime account also, and you can enter up to four shipping address in one account. I'll just piggyback off of his account. It's easily worth it if you can find someone to split the bill with you.
