    Yes, wife and I make decent use of it. Always comparison shop other online and local stores though.

    Bought a fire 10 tablet this year because my kids need new ones and need something cheap to use while travelling. Will be installing normal google play store and seeing how close I can get to normal android experience.

    Yes. Subscribed after kid was born. Mostly kids stuff, diapers etc. Always compare prices locally before buying anything.

    Prime is a great deal. It would be weird to not have it imo. Unless you lived outside of a delivery area for them or something.

    Prime Video is a side bonus.

    Prime is hit and miss for me, depending what I want. From my experience in the recent years, it seems Amazon has become a more expensive Ali Express with cheap China-made goods that are really low quality. Anything else worth getting are usually more expensive than the same items found locally. I get you're paying for the convenience of not leaving your house, but Amazon used to be so much better than what it has now become. I keep it around for Prime Video or the odd time where I can't find a certain item locally.

    Love Prime, video is good for a few shows, don't like they're increasing the price $20 on next renewal

    Wife has her own prime account and I also do still (I don't know why). Fam on both sides also have access to prime vids etc.

    My main reason for Prime is Christmas shopping; anything that keeps me out of that madness and away from mall shoppers.

    Also finding things that are out of stock or harder to find locally.

    Grand Tour was also a good reason.

    Pretty much this. Subscribe and Save is also almost virtually worthless.

    Agree, but for things $10+ I usually opt to pay the Amazon difference just for the convenience on returns.

    Agreed. and now making you drop off packages with purolator for returns vs canada post... we have prime, but man alive its hard to say its worth it most weeks. I'd say 98% of the stuff on there now is just crap..

    I rarely buy non branded goods from Amazon these days. Because Alibaba resellers.

    It is and isn't, depends on the item. We use it for dog food as it ends up being cheaper than retail stores after saving GST.

    Some items will have save 20% on first subscription order which is nice, you can go full redflagdeals and scam the setup per say, sign up for subscribe and save for the initial order savings and then just cancel the subscription.

    Aliexpress is great if you can wait 40 days or so. Alibaba I've never done because the best sales are bulk. Might someday try for solar panels off Baba.

    Used to be a heavy user of delivery, not so much any more. Pricing is not that competitive and in fact a lot of times things are more expensive on Amazon. Also shipping times aren’t nearly as good as before. I remember same day and next day was possible on most items whereas now it isn’t.

    I have it as part of my Telus package but not sure I’d keep it if not. Don’t really watch anything on Prime video these days either… I think last thing we watched would have been Yellowstone s4 in the winter

    Prime is amazing for someone on the go (me recently), into cars (my entire life), or who is a homebody (me now that I am in school).

    The only people I can imagine prime not being useful for are those on a very regimented schedule. That's not an insult, just means people who live their lives like that do not need it.

    Prime is just so versatile, between the time it takes to go somewhere, browse, buy, and go back home, unless I need it that instant, prime is the bee knees.
