What's up with Amazon?

[tecboy]

The free shipping used to be up to $25, and now they raise to $35.

I remember feeling the same way a year or so ago when the raised the minimum. lol

Considering what you used to buy for $25 now costs $35, I don't see the issue.

I order from Amazon frequently enough that I've found my Prime membership pays for itself. Free 2-day shipping.

I wouldn't buy anything from Amazon they have been fiddling taxes in the UK for years

Me too - Amazon Prime for $99 a year - and Prime includes other perks (like streaming movies) beyond free 2-day shipping on a lot of stuff.

I think i've bought 2 things from amazon.

It's a business write off for me so I don't even think about the membership cost. When I need an add on item I just go to my wish list. It gives me an excuse to buy something else that I've wanted. I'm sure this is what Amazon wants. So win-win in my book.

Homey don't do Prime. Or Twit. Or FaceSpace. Or MyBook. Or ChainLink.

Yes I totally support local businesses in all ways possible. Our city has a really amazing local economy and both my husband and I depend on the support of local businesses for our livelihoods. Buuuut I don't really consider target/walmart/big box stores to be local and I would way rather Amazon than deal with the crowds/lines/parking at big box stores.

As much as possible. Real brick-n-mortar stores are going out of business as everyone demands the low prices of nameless/faceless online vendors. I much prefer walking into a camera store and everyone greets me by name. They know what I have for gear, too.
