A little Rant but mostly a Caution!

I have had that happen a few time over the years with amazon.

I have never been a "need it now" kinda person. I keep a wish list of things of small items I need, then, when I order something big or have a group of items over $25 I place the order for free shipping. I almost always get my stuff in less than a week.

So you can buy into a prime account and share it with others? And no one thinks that is wrong? Dave

You're allowed to share it with a certain number of people/addresses.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Amazon prime. I've had a few things go over 2 days, usually when a holiday was involved, but generally I'm amazed with their speed and efficiency. I wouldn't let the ineloquence of one CS rep dissuade you from enjoying the benefits of prime membership. I actually like having a few things go long from them just so I'm certain they have have humans working there! I've never had occasion to speak to one.

I recently converted to Prime but have had nothing but good experiences.

I have never had any problems with Amazon Prime. Another benefit of Amazon Prime is free movie downloads to our internet connected TVs or computers. I do not watch them much, but my wife & grandkids love it.

I have used Amazon Prime for years and I have nothing but good experiences with shipments and arrivals being on time. On the rare occasion that I needed to talk to Amazon C/S (not about Prime) they have been helpful in solving my problem in a practical and professional way. I consider that Prime is an excellent value. There have been many times that I needed to make a very small purchase (one that would not qualify for free shipping elsewhere) and Amazon most often will have that item eligible for two day free shipping. Can't beat that deal!

[John Nesmith]

Yep. The example I often give people when I am discussing Prime is, a $5 pack of #2 pencils at my front door in less than 48 hours, and I save time, taxes, gas, wear and tear on my vehicle, and shipping.

[Rob Holcomb]

Just an update. My shipment never did arrive. I requested a refund from Amazon which they did and bought the collett through Rockler. Had it in 2 days. Standard Shipping.

The $79 prime membership is one of the best investments I make all year. It covers me and my immediate family.

Not that way that was originally stated.

Under the Amazon T&Cs, you can share a prime (non-corporate) account with up to four FAMILY members living at the SAME location. So, yes, I do think that sharing it and gaming the system using the "ship to" address is wrong. It drives up costs for people like me who are playing by the rules.
