I was recently half-heartedly considering getting rid of Prime but I haven’t (yet). I do use it a lot, although less often lately because I’m trying to save money. It’s very convenient, as anyone who has it knows. I don’t use it for music but I do occasionally stream videos with it.
I like that the Prime delivery person always knows where my house is, 99% of the time. On the two or three times they screwed up, Amazon gave me a credit right away and resent the item. I like that the delivery person sends a photo of the item on my doorstep so I know it’s definitely there.
About ten years ago, before I had Prime, I’d use the free delivery with over $25 worth of items. I was mostly ordering in December, and I found the items would come within days, which was probably because they had so much extra help at the warehouse. Once Christmas came and went, the shipping might take a week or two, which was ok if I wasn’t in a hurry to get the stuff.
Amazon doesn’t always have the cheapest prices. They have great prices on books, but on other things, it may or may not be cheapest. It’s very convenient for looking for something specific.
A friend tells me she gets rid of Prime every now and then and then Amazon will send offers for money off a new Prime membership. She said even when you cancel your Prime, the previous order information is always there for you to see your previous orders.
I still may cancel my membership. I have to think more about it first.
