Prime Day a joke!

[sgluckadoo]

I know i overpay for amazon prime for what I actually get. People love the 2 day shipping but you pay for it in the jacked up prices for the items you buy. I do not understand how amazon makes it with their ridiculous pricing! I saw kelly rippa making fun of prime day on tv. She was right to do so, i didnt see anything that i couldnt get for the same or cheaper price somewhere else and one product i was "watching" cancelled as a deal.

I told myself i would keep it for the music. But you cant even burn the music! You can listen to it through an app that you can download, but you cant actually "own" the music like when you buy it.

I got the trial Amazon Prime for 30 days.   I did buy another fire stick during the prime sale on the 12th, it was $15 cheaper than it normally is everywhere.    I didn't see anything else I couldn't live without.   I agree that Amazon is pricey normally, I don't usually see great bargains there, but they do have stuff that that I am looking for that is hard to find (like underarmour cold gear attire)

I have to respectfully disagree.  I love Amazon and I love Amazon Prime.   The prime day sale didn't have anything I wanted but I earn so many Amazon gift cards throughout the year on survey sites, etc.  that I am able to do most of my Christmas shopping at Amazon.  For me the prices are comparable to what I would find in physical stores, and many times cheaper.   I can't even begin to tell anyone the number of needed items I purchased through amazon and have never had a problem with any of them.   Guess it just depends on the person and what they're looking for.  Me, I'm a big fan, especially getting my gift cards makes it not spending any money at all.    On prime video I have actually purchased a movie which I know have forever.    I maybe in the minority but I'm a big fan of Amazon.

Glad to know Amazon Prime is no good knew it was to expensive.It seems like you can't get anything unless its part of A.P. maybe i'm wrong. I know the shipping is a lot I want coffee but the shipping is over 7.00.

I wasn't really looking for much on Prime Day, but I did come across a SanDisk Ultra 64GB Micro SD card for my tablet for $15.99 and FREE shipping.  (It's a rare occasion I will pay for shipping on Amazon because I always look for that "free shipping.")  Normally, those cards with 64GB go for about $55, so I'd say yes, I got a bargain.

I missed it. Meant to check it out but got caught up at work.

I find Amazon's pricing to be better than local stores most of the time. And it's a heck of a lot more convenient. However, I do agree, Prime Day is a joke. Though, I did actually buy something that was on offer this year, a watch that was $10 off. I'd been looking at it for a while and hadn't bit the bullet. And I saved around $16 compared to the price they ask for it at WalMart.

Companies will do anything just to make a sale.

I can really help if you're in a pinch and need something quickly though..

I am glad it works for you! It seems there is never anything I need worth the price being asked. Even the movies that I look for cost a lot to rent for 24 hours when I can just go to redbox and get it for $1. I have questioned whether it is just certain types of stuff I am looking for or if knowing how to dig for deals is the issue, but I never find anything cheaper than a store on amazon. I also get gift cards through survey sites and that is why i end up using amazon, but not happy with it overall and definitely not worth the $99 for prime. Again, my personal experiences. I saw someone else mention a bargain they found. I am glad to see it is good for at least some of you!

I get free shipping for walmart with that shoppingpass program they are piloting. $35/year, unlimited, no minimum shipping.  If they started movie rentals and music downloads they would really be competing with Amazon prime. I recommend the shippingpass program, though i do not seem to always get stuff within 2 days as advertised.

Not sure what "jacked up prices" you are talking about.  I have never seen ridiculous pricing on Amazon products.  Everything I have purchased from them is comparable to prices any where else.  And I always get the free shipping.  And no, I am not a Prime Member.  I love Amazon.

It might be the type of things you're shopping for or the stores in your area are just very low priced.

There are some things that are very overpriced but it's like that at most stores. I can usually find the brands I want much cheaper on Amazon than most other stores.  I wouldn't pay for Prime because I don't think I would use it enough to justify the cost.
