Amazon Prime

**O-Face**

Tell me the benefits besides free shipping? I  am too lazy to investigate on my own.

the shipping is all that matters to me. I love it.

Supposedly you can stream movies for free like Netflix but I did the free trial period and couldn't get it to work.  I don't order enough to justify the annual fee for just shipping.

it's unlimited free two day shipping with no minimums -- sometimes it's even faster.  i've ordered things on monday afternoon and had them knock on my door on wednesday morning.

I accidentally ordered it, considering the trial period just slipped away (not the first time for me) and oops....I have it for a year!  WHEEE?

I order a few things, I figure if I order about 12 things a year, it will justify itself.  I'll make it work.

Not just free shipping, free second day shipping.  If you want it next day, it's 3.99.

I get a lot of baby stuff (and through amazon mom if I spend a certain amount a month my free Prime subscription gets extended by a month). But have also gotten gifts, stuff for my mom, TONS of stuff we needed at home, some of my herbal supplements.... The list goes on.

Yes, I've bought protein powder, because I am a nerd.

It's the greatest thing EVAR. I regularly buy things for $5 or whatever, where I used to wait until I had $25 worth of stuff to get the free (slow) shipping.  Now, my amazon shopping is basically a no-brainer.

I've bought:
* peanut butter (a case!)
* an IR repeater & extension cables
* DVDs
* various books
* an iphone case
* a humidifier
* Dex's bedrail
* a bathmat
* a wireless presentation clicker
* a meat tenderizer (like the one Alton Brown uses)
* a computer printer
* raffle tickets for a conference I was organizing
* nametags for that conference
* shitton of baby stuff - diapers, wipes, whatever. (I also get the Mom subscription. If you don't have reason to have baby stuff, you can make a pretend baby and get the 3-month free trial of Amazon Mom to try out Prime.)

Anyway, I'm sure I wouldn't get the actual value out of paying for it (since I would just wait until I had $25 worth to buy and get free shipping) , but I might pay for it anyway, just because it makes everything so freaking easy.
