      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
