But Prime itself is the most amazing of all amazing things.
Completely. I recommend getting three friends and splitting the cost. I've been on a stranger's account for years. $75 a year is a little steep, but $20? Totally worth it.

Prime is $75 now? I remember when it was $49.

Actually, it's $79.
Blarg. Ctrl-click/middle-click has stopped working in my Firefox for no apparent reason. Like, it was working last night, and not this morning. I cleared my cache and disabled Greasemonkey and scanned for malware, to no avail.

I'll be sad if and when the day comes when I have to pay for Prime, but I will if necessary because I have become completely spoiled by it.

I have had it for years and they will need to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

Ayup. That free 2-day shipping is addictive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That Prime membership is one of the best marketing ideas ever. I've bought a lot more things from Amazon than I would have if I'd had to pay shipping. And overnight shipping is awesome for when you've forgotten someone's birthday.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Does Prime give additional control over delivery options? When I choose super-saver free shipping, sometimes it comes UPS, sometimes USPS, sometimes it can be left at the apt. management office, sometimes I have to go get it at the post office or even at the UPS depot -- and there is no way to tell in advance which variation will occur. No point in payng for next-day or two-day delivery if I have to wait until Saturday to pick it up.

No. I've called and complained because whenever I get something that isn't USPS, it takes forever to get here, and amazon said that you can't choose who it is shipped through.
