Amazon is a great company but I have noticed in recent years that Prime is not always very successful, in other words The seller is made to charge a little more for the item to help Amazon cover the shipping costs along with the $10 a month or $99 annual Prime membership fees. The issue for me is that Prime 2 day is often 3,4 or even 5 business day delivery and that can be frustration if you need items in a hurry.
Another thing you may want to note about Amazon is that they piss around with prices, in some instances up to 10 times a day. What I mean by that is this, if you place a number of items in you cart or saved for later list and leave them there sometimes the price changes. For example I put a hot tub in my cart and left it there for weeks and then noticed the price starting to drop. Each day , sometimes two or three times a day the price would change. In the end I saved $800 over the original price is was going to pay.
Now I do that with all my purchases, I have a list of around 100 items that I need for my remodeling projects and by leaving them in the cart or list I am able to save huge amounts by being patient. I check the internet for competitive pricing but its rare that anyone beats Amazon.
