So one would think!

I usta have Amazon Prime. I even tested 'em on their claims. Sure
enough. I bought an item fer jes over $2USD. It was there, at my
doorstep, two days later, jes as Amazon promised.

I even pay a guy to give me ride into town, now and then, cuz it saves
wear/tear on my vehicle. OTOH, Amazon Prime does NOT save you $$$$. I
had it for one yr (original rate), but dumped it the following yr. I
figure I saved a couple hundred dollars by NOT joining again.

Lotta places now charge zero shipping. Zappos --Amazon subsidiary--
ships fer free. OTOH, they want yer bought item back in perfect
condition. IOW, do NOT wear those shoes out-of-doors. OTOH, New
Balance give you "free shipping", 30 days return, and WILL allow you to
wear those shoes, "out-of-doors". Sam Ash (music store) only charges
shipping fer orders under "$10".

Sure, Amazon will save $$$$ on driving to a large urban center (for me,
that's a 200 mi round trip), but it also promotes spending lotsa $$$$.
So, if you have lotsa money to blow, by all means, get Amazon Prime.
