I have literally begged them not to send my packages via the USPS. Every person I talk to says the same things. 1) They have no control over the carrier that is used and 2) They'll pass my concerns on to their shipping department. It hasn't helped. I have received credits, rebates and 7 months of Prime for free. Amazon is great about fixing problems. I just wish they didn't use the USPS in the first place. Many other vendors give the customer a choice of shippers at different price points. I sure wish I had that option with Amazon!

I heard about this on the radio yesterday. I was not happy to hear this. It all makes sense though - now Sat delivery is $8.99/item; the Add-On program; and I have also been having terrible experiences lately; issues w/ textbook rental returns getting lost, packages not arriving on time, etc. USPS is awful in my area. I don't like how they use USPS & the "FedEx" system thats really USPS.
When I lived in AZ, 60 miles NW of Phx, I always got my packages next day as long as I ordered before about 2 or 3 pm. Including Saturdays. (Never Sundays). I agree that location has a lot to do with it. However they are supposed to be building an Amazon warehouse next to my work which is about 20 mins from my house, so I am on the fence about keeping Prime. I don't really use the streaming videos (just not my thing, really).

If it goes up $20 or so, we will probably keep it.
Any more than that, and no, it will be gone. We live in a metro area and if I want something NOW, I can just get in the car and go. I do enjoy the free book a month, but $120 a year will buy a number of books. We have Netflix so we don't use the streaming.

I have a couple of elderly relatives piggybacking on my Prime (you can have up to four "relatives" sharing one...maybe it will turn out some of you are related? ), so dumping my Prime would mean they'd have to go out every time they need Prilosec and toilet paper. I wish it weren't going up, but it's still worth it to me.
Our cable company improved our streaming abilities recently, so maybe I can use some workouts now without lots of dramatic. Pauses.
