I ordered a new RV cover from Amazon on Wednesday. I signed up for a free 30 day trial of Prime. Originally I was given a delivery date of Monday. Amazon didn't ship the item until Friday. They used Fedex Priority overnight with Saturday delivery so I am getting the RV cover today. The non-discounted rate from Fedex for such a delivery would be $328. Amazon certainly gets a substantial discount, but they still paid a lot for shipping. How do they not lose money on prime shipping with cases like this?
I'm really happy to be getting the cover today instead of Monday. We are supposed to get a substantial snowfall on Monday. The old cover got destroyed because I hadn't noticed two of the straps holding it down broke.
