[QUOTE="securitysix, post: 2783036, member: 32714"] No, it's not. Not even a little bit. It's also not worth it if you: 1) Don't stream video (due to having a metered internet connection) 2) Don't stream music (due to having a metered internet connection) 3) Have a PO Box and because of that USPS will not deliver packages to your physical address. You can't use a PO Box for the "free" 2-day shipping, so you have to put a physical address to get it. Amazon then ships it however they want, including UPS Basic/FedEx SmartPost, which use USPS for last mile delivery. So most of your stuff winds up getting sent back to Amazon because the Post Office goes "Oh, yeah, we don't deliver to that address. Oh, we know which PO Box it belongs to, but since the PO Box is not on the package, it's undeliverable." Then you have to wait for a refund, re-order it, and select the long shipping option where they'll let you use your PO Box anyway. And that, ladies and gents, is why I had to cancel my Prime account and get a refund on it. For most people who order a lot of things from Amazon or who want to stream music and movies, Prime is great. For people like me, it's a waste of $100. [/QUOTE]
