really!?! then what' his excuse for not shipping products the same day listed IN STOCK on Amazon?? Ordered "I Am Legend" on BluRay on the 18th and it's not shipping until the 24th of March....fricking bastard. only if you become an Amazon "member" for $80/year do you get faster standard shipping times unless you pay for priority shipping.
Uh, dude thats how it works. You want the free shipping, then they ship it when they get around to it (within reason). If you want faster service fork over for the shipping or pay for Prime.
I'll gladly trade a few extra days for free shipping.
It is called Free Super Saver Shipping for a reason. If you want it faster you have to pay for it. I personally like the option to pay less and wait, or pay more and get it tomorrow.
If you buy a lot from Amazon, signing up for Prime is worth it. I held off for a year but I finally signed up at Christmas time... I love it! I ordered an esata cable yesterday, paid my 3.99 for overnight shipping, and I STILL paid less than I would have at Best Buy.
Hey "umm....hello???": I ordered "I am Legend" on Blu-Ray from Amazon on the 17th and received it on the 19th. I'm in the Boston area and have Amazon Prime. I personally have found Amazon Prime to be well worth it over the course of a year.
A friend also noticed that the time from ordering to shipping was much longer before he had Prime than after.
I don't really order many things from Amazon over the course of a year, but I do understand the reasoning--and true, even with faster shipping it'd be less than paying BestBuy's or someone else's prices. Might eventually break down and sign up for Prime membership, glad to know that it works well and that some of you guys feel that it's worth it.
