May be getting Amazon Prime - anyone wanna throw in on it?

[Alceste]

Topic.

I can add up to four accounts as part of my "household" to get the same benefits I'll pick it up if I get at least two people willing to toss $20 my way to help cover the year's subscription.

Anyone for it?

[The Tromboner]

What are the benefits? I'm unfamiliar with Amazon Prime as a concept.

[Alceste]

Basically 2-day shipping on any item sold by Amazon (but note not other retailers selling through Amazon), and includes the option of 1-day shipping on a single item for just $4.

yeah for awhile people with university email addresses could get on this

[Red Omen]

I managed to do that. I've got free two-day shipping until next November. Shit is so cash.

[Alceste]

Yeah, I wish I had gotten into back when I had a student email. Still, this'll be damn cheap for everyone involved.

I also didn't notice until just a bit ago that the 1-day shipping is free for release-date items. No more dealing with fucking Gamestop or Best Buy, and no tax either!

Unless it just barely ended, the student registration should still be open. I got in on it like a week ago for free Christmas shipping.

[Horseboy]

does this work with an amazon.de account?

[Alceste]

Nah, only shipping within the U.S as well. The people I would add are supposed to be part of my household, which would be highly suspect if any of them were using the foreign services.

[Horseboy]

just say I'm behind at least 7 proxies.

I buy whatever I can online if it has free shipping (or a really good price warranting the shipping), mainly because you can find it cheaper and tax-free in most cases.
