And if you do order a lot, you get the free shipping anyway. So it'd be one order a month for less than $25, or you have the urgent needs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Free slow shipping, though. The $79 thing gives you free (or prepaid, technically) 2-day shipping.

I don't disagree. That would be what I was alluding to with the "urgent needs."

Right. I just can't think of any urgent Amazon needs I might have. If I really want something that fast, I'll get it from a real store.

You can also use the premium shipping for up to 4 people in your household.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Plus, if you're at work, B&N has same-day shipping in Manhattan.

Thank GOD I can get my Netflix mailed back to me one day after I post it myself, but have to wait a few days for B&N. Netflix money? Fixed cost, timeliness is appreciated. Instant trade paperbacks would wreak havok with the impulse impulse (or even the Impulse impulse).

In theory. In practice, not so far.

If I only had a brain...
That might well be worth it to me. I do wind up buying extra items to hit the 25.00 barrier, and I do really resent waiting for Super Saver items.

I save Amazon for larger orders of things I want but am in no hurry to receive, so for me, not a good deal. (Things I'm in a hurry to receive come from the local B&N, on account of my discount card thing and the close-to-house factor.)
Anyone here migrated from Eudora for the PC to Eudora for Mac? I'm tempted to make this my primary machine, and I have all my Eudora data backed up on the file server, but thus far have not made the push to see about switching over.
