The idea that people think it would be difficult to live without an Amazon Prime subscription absolutely blows my mind. Are y'all really that hooked on buying stupid shit and getting it as fast as possible?
I don't understand some people who swear by it. If there's really something I need by the next day, I probably need it the same day and will just get it myself at a store.
It saves you money because shipping is free.
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
