Not really...there is power in numbers. Amazon prime memberships definitely are worth it and appear to be relatively popular among Amazon members who order frequently.
Also take into consideration the very fact that when you use Amazon to shop, they already are making money from you. In reality they probably could waive the shipping fees on almost all of their orders since they pay their shipping fees in bulk as opposed to individual shipments.
In any event, customers are happy because they can find/get their products in a timely manner with an awesome, money-back/replacement guarantee. Which in turns creates loyalty (and more profits)
It's definitely worth it.
