I certainly loved the super fast shipping but like you I found myself spending even more $$ at Amazon just to make use of the shipping. Every day I'd find something to buy & after a month "free trial," I've spent almost $1,000 in things I probably wouldn't have bought. So the upshot is that not only am I canceling my membership but I'm avoiding Amazon like the plague. I don't like having to pay $79 just to spend more & get the merchandise quicker. Also, I noticed prior to signing up for prime that my regular Amazon orders were taking ages to arrive. Whereas I used to receive shipments within 3-4 days, I would get them 2 weeks later. So Amazon is now telling me in essence that I should pay $79 to get what I used to get before prime came on the scene. Sorry but no more shopping at Amazon! I've removed my credit card from my account & amazon is no longer on my toolbar! After a month free trial, I’ve decided not to renew my Amazon prime membership.
