I don't use them much as I now have to pay state sales tax (Florida).

Sometimes they are amazing, but lately I haven't been impressed.  I ordered 3 t-shirts in what appeared to be a single store, but they came from different places and took 2 weeks to get all 3.  Nothing custom, just stock logo shirts.


But point is they are generally a good resource for a lot of things.  The wife and I have held off on the "prime" account because we'd feel tempted to buy too much stuff.

One thing to watch is if the item is stocked by Amazon.  If it is, delivery will be quick.  If not, the order is forwarded to the company supplying it and will be dependent upon their service standard.

I use Amazon Prime also.  On covered items, which is a good many, it is free 2nd Day Shipping.

I also got their Credit Card.  It gives "credits" of 3% for purchases from Amazon, 2% for any gasoline purchase, and 1% for other purchases.

Started buying gas with the credit card...had used cash prior to that.  It is something you have to buy and I'll take the 2% rebate.

Also use it for all my Amazon purchases.

My regular credit card has the equivalent of the 1% rebate, so I use it elsewhere.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Prime also allows streaming of thousands of movies, kindle stuff, etc.  Cost is up to 99 bucks now.

The first thing I ever got off Amazon was Asbach Uralt brandy filled chocolates but then I started getting them at mostlychocolate.com. The last few things I got were books and music CDs. They have some hard to find new and used books and CDs at great prices. I didn't even know they sold gun parts and accessories.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783
