Amazon is raising the price of Prime to $119

Is this going to drive some folks away from their services?

Of course they are. We have to further subsidize the leeches on food stamps that get it for half price.

No, because most people have them set up on auto-pay. Most of America won't even notice.

Even at $200 a month it's still worth it for us

do you have scheduled buys? What products? I've only ever done one-off type purchases.

Diapers for the toddler. Those boxes ship for $8 or so I think. 12 of them basically pays for prime.

Netflix and HBO each cost more and don't lap provide free shipping on pretty much anything you might want to buy legally (and some illegally too).

We do scheduled buys for just about all of our household products. We haven't ventured into perishable groceries yet but frequently use Prime Now. Basically if im buying anything for myself or someone else, its via amazon. They typically have much lower prices and the the two day, next day, and same day shipping is worth every penny. That doesnt even consider the added plus of Prime Video, Prime Music, or the Kindle Library. We also have an Audible account and Amazon Prime credit card.

maybe its because of where you live, but their shipping is rarely late for me. I think its happened twice in the last 6 months

Same here. About 75% by UPS and 25% by USPS and had very few issues. Also, have things sent all over the country as gifts and again very few issues. Had an order this week sent to someone in NYC and the two-day was actually only one day when it arrived.

Same day deliveries in SA. Pretty awesome. I call it Amazon Primo since i saw a vato in an el camino drop off my package once.

For scheduled buys we don't do that much. Hard to beat prices at HEB in many cases but we do deliver cat litter, disposable litter boxes, Kleenex, paper towels, and trash bags. Just reduced the frequency on most of those, though.

Shouldn't it be $113 or $127?

Now THAT is a prime example as to why no one in their right mind would sleep with you.

We buy cat litter from target, that 35lb. bucket of tidy cats, it's like $12 and free shipping.

I don't know they're shipping a 35lb item for about $10 and not losing their ass.


Paper products and pantry foods, we do bulk at costco all the way. They have free shipping at $75.

My amzn holding just gained about $2,000 in value today, so I'm good with a $20/yr increase.

USPS is still better than Amazon's own delivery service, Amazon Logistics.

So I get to bump up by $20 to subsidize services I will never use (in home and in car trunk delivery).

I'm trying to decide that for myself.

In reality, it's only $20 - I'd spend more than that going to a movie. So it isn't really going to impact my family's finances.

I order a lot of things online and I like the convenience of Prime.

I use and enjoy Amazon music and the movies I get with Prime.

On the other hand, it just kind of pisses me off.

So I don't know yet. Probably not.

Why does it piss you off? If you don't think what you get out of it is worth $120, then cancel it.

wrong. their shipping is trash when they use their own delivery drivers. they are the ones tossing your packages over fences into walls, etc.

I don't know. It's definitely irrational.

The janitor at the amazon warehouse is probably more competent than your average postal worker.

$119 is $9.92 a month for a streaming service plus the added bonus of free shipping every now and then.

I don't think you have ever experienced bad shipping services, unreasonable prices, or unwarranted shipping restrictions unless you've lived in Alaska. Shut your mouth and accept your package a day late every now and then!

Absolutely. My brother and his family moved to Anchorage. What use to be me actually shipping gifts has now turned into ecards. They still send me packages as they like to give gifts unique to Alaska but they send them three weeks in advance to make sure they arrive on time. Seems packages to Europe are easier.
