I am amazed at how amazon remains doing business with so low margins or no profits. We love amazon at my house and being Prime members, we are almost ordering everything under the sun from Amazon that we possibly can. Here is why we love it:
- The reviews are actually useful. I just bought a 70 inch TV through amazon and the critical and helpful reviews really helped me get going with settings on the TV that would have taken hours to research on google otherwise.
- Shipping is superfast. Most items are delivered within a day or two with prime.
- Btw, if you are a parent of a baby, then check out Amazon Mom. It is free with Prime membership and gives you further discounts if you subscribe to ordering baby stuff like formula, diapers etc. on amazon. Also we compared the prices and it is almost impossible to beat amazon for these things as well.
- No need to go drive to a store. Sometimes I need to buy $10 item for which I might end up spending $2 on gas.
- Easiest returns if the need arises.
- Not to mention that Amazon prime gives you access to lot of great videos, movies, shows etc as a bonus.
One drawback with prime is that not all items are Prime eligible. Specially what they call "add on items"
