    I don’t understand some people who swear by it. If there’s really something I need by the next day, I probably need it the same day and will just get it myself at a store.

      Where I live, getting anything at a store besides basic food isn’t a thing. You can’t find ANYTHING at Walmart. Hardware stores are the last semblance of being able to find stuff in a store in person like the olden days. If it wasn’t for the fact contractors buy entire houses worth of shit for “pro delivery” , even those would stop existing.

        I bought a lot on Amazon, never paid shipping. I can just wait a week for it to show up. Only suckers pay for Prime.

        If it’s something you need right now, go to a store and buy it.

        Only if you make over 3 purchases per month. That’s what it came out for me when I checked if I should get Prime. That’s when you get the cheaper option by paying for the whole year. I might only have 3 purchases a month once or twice a year, so definitely not worth it for me.

        That theory works if you’re only buying things you need. I know people that buy stuff they don’t really need and/or never use because it was cheap on Amazon.

          yea, they obviously make a profit on it because it results in people buying more stuff. but in my situation it saves me money I’m pretty sure. just recently I bought some breadboards and tweezers for electronics projects and some rubber feet thingys for my keyboard. I would’ve bought them elsewhere if amazon didn’t exist so I saved on shipping this way. and unlike what others here have said, things always arrive on time or earlier. maybe that’s just a Germany thing tho
