“Amazon Prime” Gets Primed For Weekend Delivery
Posted on 28 October 2009, at 10:41 am, by Dan Cohen
Amazon Prime is Amazon’s service where, for $79 a year, your purchases get free two-day shipping. Better still, Amazon Prime members can upgrade items to one-day shipping for just $3.99. It comes in handy… trust me! If you buy a lot from Amazon and are impatient (who, us???) it is a great little add-on.
Well, Amazon just went and made their Prime service even better. From now on Amazon Prime-eligible items that are ordered on Thursday before 5PM EST will be delivered Saturday. This means if you have that impulse buy on Thursday you don’t have to wait all weekend before getting it.
Is it worth $79 a year? Only you can decide. Me? I love it.

I’ve had Amazon Prime for a couple of years now and I love it. Amazon tends to be cheaper than local book stores, and it now of course has tons of other things.
With Amazon Prime I pay my $79 at the beginning of the year and then I end up buying most of my stuff. I can send gifts directly to friends and family by 2 day shipping, and I don’t have to panic just before Christmas!
