Shipping is wonderful on Amazon if you have Prime. Not only do you get the movies and TV series to watch on the computer, you can borrow a Kindle book per month to read and most shipping is free for 2 day delivery. We have it and get every penny’s worth of our money. Of course, not everyone would, but it’s just my opinion on how great Prime is.
Prime is excellent and more than pays for itself, especially at Christmas/holiday time. Fast, efficient, and easy returns. One point, though, we mostly use Amazon as the merchant.
Got a trial of some sort for Prime several years ago, haven’t looked back.
