: Instapundit.comTODAY IS THE last day for free Super-Saver shipping at Amazon. If you?re Amazon Prime, like me, you?
By Glenn Reynolds
TODAY IS THE last day for free Super-Saver shipping at Amazon. If you’re Amazon Prime, like me, you’ve got a while longer.
UPDATE: Reader Dale Burnett writes:
Your post about it today reminded me to write. Thanks for turning me on to Amazon Prime. It has completely changed how I shop. Before I buy anything from a local store I check Amazon first. 75% of the time it is cheaper from Amazon and I get it in two days for free. The cost of the Prime membership is more than made up for by what I save in the difference from retail price.
Christmas was ordered on Saturday, arrived yesterday afternoon and was wrapped and under the tree (figuratively as I have no tree) by yesterday evening. Awesome.
Oh, yeah. As I’ve noted before, it’s changed things for me the same way. The money savings are nice, but it’s really the time-and-hassle savings that count.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader John Kranz writes with a good idea:
I completely agree on the liberating effects of Amazon Prime.
I signed up when my wife had a stroke, knowing I would be shopping even more online (I have MS, we’re a house o’ fun).
I’ve recommended it since as a gift for someone in a tragic/difficult situation. Everybody wants to do something — this really helps.
I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
