Probably that includes a minimum of "initial" goods delivered.

I think the topic is ok.

After all, one needs light (light bulbs, lamps), chairs, and certainly food in order to be able to read books and Amazon is a Prime provider of all these things.

She had just put it in the wrong forum. A mod moved it to where it belonged.

I checked against the delivery fees of a competing service in both Center City Philadelphia and Manhattan. Looks to me that Amazon's delivery fee is less even if you only use it twice a month. Of course, you'd have to compare the food prices as well.
