You’re paying for prime video? It comes free with their prime shipping service. I’ve never paid for their streaming. The shipping service is too valuable not to use, and the video shit is just a cherry on top. Prime shipping pays for itself within a half dozen orders.
Way I see it, it’s the other way around. I would never pay for the shipping service, but since it’s included in the streaming subscription I guess I’ll take it. I don’t order from Amazon unless there’s absolutely no alternative.
Recently, Amazon prime made a change. Prime video was included with Prime membership, ad free, for quite a while. Now, it has ads, UNLESS you pay something like an additional $5 a month. This occurred within the last 6-12 months now.
Right, but they said they cancelled because they started including ads. I’m confused why someone would cancel their prime shipping program over ads on a video service that was included as a bonus. Just stop watching the platform and keep your free shipping.
True. It also covers the cost of returns too though, which can be very valuable if you order online a lot. Like you said though, it’s probably not worth much to people who don’t frequently order online through Amazon.

Makes sense. I use their free shipping and returns constantly throughout the year, so the shipping is very much worth the expense for me.

It’s not free shipping, you’re paying $140/year. Worth it to some, but if you don’t order much it’s worth cancelling to cut costs.

I paid Prime because Video was included. Just the shipping isn’t worth the monthly fee to me.
