Amazon Sucks
 

Amazon took a good business model and fucked it.

Amazon and the other ebook sellers give a lot of authors, especially mystery writers a start. A start they wouldn't have gotten in the print days. Usually you can get the 1st or 1/2 of the 1st book for free, then if you like the author you can buy books at modest prices.

Amazon just produced the movie The Man in the High Castle. You get the first half free. It was great. But you have to spend $80 to join Prime to see the last half. I have no need for a Prime account. I'd gladly pay a reasonable amount to see the second half.

Fuck them

So amazon puts something out for free along with a cross sale and you're mad that you didnt get the entire thing for free? Seems legit.

In the Uk, Amazon offer a free no obligation 30 day trial to Amazon Prime... Do they not offer the same in the states?

NOt what I said
 

I said I'd gladly pay a reasonable amount. I just have no need for Prime

Prime is a 30 day trial Plus free shipping on all products Prime is worth it i've had it for a few years now

I like overpaying on my shipping too :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

amazon loses $3+billion a year on prime. the value it provides to customers far surpasses the cost to join.

I love prime!

They give a "free" product to members.

You aren't a member.

They let you check it out anyway.

That was nice of them.

That's exactly my point! :thumbsup

you know what sucks? restocking fees. I bought a widget that doesn't work and am being charged 20% to have them put it back on the shelf. doesn't matter if it's $1 or $1,000,000 or weighs 1 oz or 1 ton, it's 20% fee to return it.

fuck that shit. no restocking fees at amazon.

Amazon does suck.

Amazon rocks!

It depends how you roll.

If you compare the loss of "free shipping" vs the subscription... maybe.
But the retention of customers they get is priceless.
Say you see a product at $45 at amazon and $40 + shipping at another e-store, what are you going to pick?

I love getting my shit same day

Umm, I don't need a lesson in sales and marketing.

Amazon is killing the adult toy business as they are so cheap.

Prime is brilliant for online buyers who stream even a little and shop online a few times a year.

I buy whatever I can from Amazon. Fuck Walmart.

Not what I was trying to do.
Just adding to your comment since you left out that part which, I reckon, is important :2 cents:

Amazon rocks. I've been a Prime member for some time; It pays off for us being as we are always buying stuff from Amazon.

I haven't seen this show yet but I plan to watch it this weekend.
