Prime Day a joke!

[sgluckadoo]

I know i overpay for amazon prime for what I actually get. People love the 2 day shipping but you pay for it in the jacked up prices for the items you buy. I do not understand how amazon makes it with their ridiculous pricing! I saw kelly rippa making fun of prime day on tv. She was right to do so, i didnt see anything that i couldnt get for the same or cheaper price somewhere else and one product i was "watching" cancelled as a deal.

I told myself i would keep it for the music. But you cant even burn the music! You can listen to it through an app that you can download, but you cant actually "own" the music like when you buy it.

Not sure what "jacked up prices" you are talking about.  I have never seen ridiculous pricing on Amazon products.  Everything I have purchased from them is comparable to prices any where else.  And I always get the free shipping.  And no, I am not a Prime Member.  I love Amazon.

Guess we are shopping for different items. When I want to purchase something, I go to amazon first since I have gift cards and prime membership, then i search walmart and target for the exact same item and 99% of the time one or both is cheaper than amazon. I am glad some people benefit from it, I just do not see how based on my experiences. Today I looked for Tidy Cats litter and it was between 7 and 8 bucks at walmart online, and as high or higher as 23 (for a 2 pack - so 11.50) for the same item on amazon. When i found it for less, it wasnt part of prime and so the shipping costs were about 6 dollars plus the item.

I forgot about Amazon Prime Day until I was getting ready for bed and I was too tired to start looking for deals - oh well ...  However, I do like having Prime - it's so convenient to get what you order so quickly and I don't find the prices "jacked up" - I actually have seen items on other bargain sites that are cheaper on Amazon.  The Prime is in my daughter's name/account but I and my other two children chip in for the cost of $99/year so we can all order items on Prime.  It's especially useful at Christmas time when we all order so much from Amazon.  Love it!

I didn't have time that day to check out what they had. I love Amazon and I use student prime because I'm in school. I only pay 49 bucks a year.  The 2 day free shipping is great for me because I order a lot through them. It's better than fighting crowds at the stores.

I signed up for the trial, but I don't think it is worth it. I sometimes receive amazon gift cards from work at home places that don't offer paychecks. I still don't think it is worth the price though if you ask me!

I would use Prime if it was more in line with the US site (I'm in Canada) but since Prime services here are limited at best, I never saw a reason to sign up.  I don't buy from Amazon often and when I do, it's because I stacked up a LOT of gift cards to pay for everything.

I have been a Prime member for a couple of years, and it is WELL worth the price for me. I order all the time from Amazon, both for myself and other people, and I've saved a ton on shipping costs. For the things I buy, Amazon is almost always significantly cheaper, although for groceries, they are usually more expensive.  On Prime Day, I got two flash drives for significant savings, but other than that, I wasn't really interested in any of their other sales. But Amazon Prime is about a lot more than just a one-day sale.

I stopped paying for amazon prime when my student account got expired.. Don't see much of a use for paying $99 a year, since I don't usually buy a lot of stuff anymore in Amazon.. It was $60-70 I might consider it

Last year's Amazon Prime Day I remember, was also bad.. I heard they they have 50Ib gallon drum of lube. Other then tht most deals were stuff not a lot of people want

Not a member just buy things from Amazon from time to time.

Prime day was set to fail from the start. Amazon isn't as good as it used to be.

I just recently placed an order with Amazon a couple of weeks ago and chose the free shipping as usual. It says I won't get the items I ordered until at least Aug 29 and no later than Sept 16. I've never had a problem with shipping. Usually it would come in less than a week. This is ridiculous and just a scam for you to pay for Prime membership.

I shop at Amazon but I have never used prime.
