“Items on Prime are more expensive to cover the cost of the postage. “
everything i order is shipped Prime because I pay for Prime membership. So you’re claiming they’re jacking up the price for EVERYTHING I buy? I don’t think so. I’ve priced items both logged onto to amazon and not logged on, and the prices are the same whether amazon knows who i am or not.
I know if Walmart has it available from one of their stores they are cheaper than Amazon. They don’t come close to the selection that Amazon has though. But, you still can’t beat the Walmart warranty and free return shipping - completely hassle free. I have read many horror stories about Amazon in that regard and I would not buy anything major from Amazon because of that.
Stay logged in. Pick an item. Look at the prices of the same item sold by other sellers. You'll see the item price and the shipping price. 90% of the time the total is the same as the Prime price which has "free" shipping. If it truly is free shipping then the Prime total price would be cheaper.
