Amazon Prime

Just a Quick Plug for Amazon Prime. I just signed up for the trial to check it out. Since I do the majority of my shopping through Amazon, I think it will be beneficial for me and if you are like me, you might want to consider it!

What is Amazon Prime? Amazon Prime is a popular Amazon.com program that gives its members unlimited Free Two-Day Shipping on millions of eligible items. All new members are offered a free trial, allowing them to experience the convenience of shopping with Amazon Prime benefits for an entire month at no charge.

Amazon Prime is a membership program that gives you and your family "all-you-can-eat" fast shipping for eligible purchases. For an annual membership fee of $79, you will enjoy:

Fast Delivery

  • Free Two-Day Shipping on more than one million in-stock items sold by Amazon.com.

  • Upgrades to One-Day (Overnight) Shipping for just $3.99 per item.

  • Two-Day and One-Day shipping usually apply across business days. Prime also offers special weekend and other shipping options for qualifying merchandise

  • Free Standard Shipping for eligible items shipped to P.O. boxes in the continental United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories, possessions and protectorates) and APO/FPO addresses with U.S. zip codes.
Simple Shopping
  • No minimum purchases required.

  • Members-only 1-Click buttons on product pages.

  • No need to think about shipping charges when you order.
Convenient Sharing
  • Shared benefits with up to four family members living in the same household.

Which items are eligible for Amazon Prime?

Eligible products will be designated on the product page, in the order pipeline, or at check-out. Generally, most items eligible for Super Saver Shipping are also eligible for Amazon Prime Shipping benefits. The program is limited to products sold by Amazon.com and by third-party merchants participating in the Fulfillment by Amazon program.

The following items are not eligible for expedited shipping under Amazon Prime:
  • Amazon.com Gift Cards

  • Oversize or heavy items*

  • Items regulated as hazardous materials

  • Other items with special shipping characteristics*

  • Products sold by third parties, such as Target, or through third-party areas, such as Amazon Marketplace.
*Due to their size and shape, some Prime-eligible Amazon.com products may not be available for Free 2-Day Shipping. As a Prime customer, you will still receive free shipping on these items, however, they can only be shipped via Standard Shipping.
