Walker570 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 First time I have used this system. Yesterday a friend asked me to fit out a box for him to hold some sockets...big sockets and I did not have a drill large enough...45 and 50mm across. I went on line and found a complete set of six forstners, up to 60mm, for a little over £16. It indicated if I clicked this Prime thingy they would guarantee a next day delivery. ( this was Saturday and 4pm in the afternoon) I clicked , paid and forgot about it until this morning my wife came up to my study and said ..in that voice, I am sure you all know ..... "What have you been ordering now"...... and there was my order as promised on a Sunday morning ! My friend had his box as promised within the hour. Brilliant. The set semed very cheap but I have to say they are very sharp and cut the hardwod block without tearing, didn't even have to sandpaper. I'm led to believe now I am logged in the Prime system anything else I order will be the same service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyh Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yes Prime is good. But after the 1st free month you will be charged about £7.99 per month. Great if you buy lots of stuff. Not if you dont ! I always join in November then cancel within the month. Well worth it as I buy most gifts online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 O have prime TV and get prime delivery, yes the service is great but only for stock they hold. Third party sellers may take a bit longer to be delivered but it will say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatchap Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 £79 a year though. I have been a member for 4 years now and the savings and service you get off sets the membership price easily, if you use it regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdadphil Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi there I have used Amazon prime for a number of years. it is worth it so long as you avoid postage exceeding the annual (or monthly) premium. sometimes if you are close to a distribution centre you can get same day delivery. TBH i find it invaluable especially as you can nominate an alternate delivery address (as on non prime purchases) and also can use the amazon app. without having to add card details every time. it makes spending money so much easier !! atb Gdadphil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 It does come in handy, there are some good series on Amazon and being able to get next day delivery can be very useful especially when its weekend. You can also save money by not getting next day delivery which the wife likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Going back to standard delivery times is a bit of a pain, after using Prime... as is paying seperately for P&P elsewhere. We get pretty good value out of our Prime subscription between the delivery and Prime video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
