You guys with full time jobs can do my beta-testing for me, OK?
mldavis2, that is one way of looking at it, saying that the Prime Members paid a fee that absorbed the delivery fee in advance.

I will guarantee you that if you subtracted the costs of free shipping and of two day delivery alone from that fee the cost of my member ship was defrayed within a month of the payment and then you must add to the 11 or more months of no costs the benefit of getting free stuff like video streaming, etc.

Amazon will take care of you. It will be your friend, indeed.
