We both talked about how we still think its worth it in the long run! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-56903 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:00:12 +0000 Boogs 56903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sylvie_b: Exactly! I kind of look at it like having a Costco membership. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-56725 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:21:51 +0000 sylvie_b 56725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs, @Navy_Mommy: I'm on team prime, too! We're the definition of an Amazon Family. If you buy and subscribe for as much as we do (gifts, home stuff, vitamins, coconut water, , gift registries, kitchen and bath supplies, etc), the $80 is a steal for the convenience of guaranteed 2 day shipping. But if you're not a big amazon shopper, it may not be worth your while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-56210 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:01:07 +0000 heffalump 56210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew about that. Guess it's too late for me to sign up. We cloth diaper and wipe, so I guess it wouldn't be worth it for me anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-56205 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:40:35 +0000 Navy_Mommy 56205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would die without Prime, I've had it for a few years. </p> <p>I did like how my first year I had it you could split the $80 fee over 12 months so it didn't seem like that big of a deal but now you don't have that option. Either way it's totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-56190 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:12:50 +0000 ktdid23 56190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mommacommaphd - just saw that you said the streaming video selection on prime isn't that good. I was thinking about getting the prime membership because of that option... how slim are the pickin's? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-56001 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:10:41 +0000 mommacommaphd 56001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ohapostrophe: I think the different is the Super Saver is only on orders over $25, while the Prime applies to orders in any amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-55999 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:09:12 +0000 mommacommaphd 55999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really peeved to get that e-mail from Amazon. Like you I had it for a year, and then my husband signed up, so we're on a second year. I signed up before the change, so hopefully we'll get the full year.</p> <p>I tried the streaming video the other night and felt like it was really slim pickings- a lot of the better/newer stuff you still have to pay for, only the older/crappy stuff is streaming for free.</p> <p>Once this trial with Amazon Prime is over, I'll probably check out diapers.com and see how that compares.</p> <p>I have enjoyed the free 2-day shipping, but I don't use it for diapers and wipes- I use the subscribe and save and get the extra percentage off with the longer shipping.</p> <p>I'll miss it for other stuff, but I don't know that I would pay for it. I'm too cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-55651 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:19:16 +0000 Red 55651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@amy: After reading your post I thought maybe Costco had raised their diaper prices but I went yesterday and the Kirkland size 3 diapers are $39.99 a box (17 cents each) regular price. Maybe just different pricing by region? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52303 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:04:12 +0000 MsMamaBear 52303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I use cloth diapers and Amazon does sell them, they just come from other sellers. I've never bought mine fro mthere though, I am already stocked as my LO is 4months old. I did buy the detergent from there I saved on shipping with Prime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52298 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:40:22 +0000 venice4504 52298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the Prime through my Mom account and will probably just pay the fee to keep Prime. Most of the stuff (well over 80%) that we order actually ships out of the warehouse here (less than 20 miles away) or from a state close so the 2 day shipping is like next day for us. I just ordered something non-prime and it takes forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52297 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:36:47 +0000 ohapostrophe 52297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does everything on prime also qualify for their Super Saver (spend $25 and get free 3-5 day) shipping? I don't know if I'll pay $79 for getting everything one day sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52284 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:47:40 +0000 amy 52284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: my guess is after everyone cancels who's getting it free now it will probably open up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52271 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:27:04 +0000 keiki_mama 52271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Amazon prime and I LOVE it!!! I'm still on the waitlist for Amazon Mom--does anyone know how long it takes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52153 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:49:32 +0000 calsmom 52153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Amazon Prime and I loved it. Now I am a part of Amazon student since I am taking a few college courses right now. I will be cost comparing with other stores and websites though so I can find the best deal out there. I'm a bargain shopper :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52139 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:26:04 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 52139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Living in the boondocks, I don't know what we'd do without Prime. Still worth it, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52119 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:51:01 +0000 amy 52119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costco coupons are mailed out to random card members but you can also usually find them at the customer service desk at your local Costco. They rotate them so there's not always a diaper coupon every month, but when they do its usually $6 off a box of huggies (snug and dry) or $5 - 7 off Kirkland Brand. The boxes of huggies are normally 49.99 ad say for size 3 its 228 diapers. Approx. 19 a diaper which is still more expensive then Amazon. The same diapers on Amazon with Amazon mom currently (20%) works out .17 a diaper and right now they have a coupon to save an additional 2.00 which is about .16 a diaper.<br /> Kirkland brand diapers with the $7 off still works out to be about .18 a diaper for size 3.</p> <p>I think Amazon Prime is awesome, and Amazon Mom is great. I have subscriptions for the 30% off which I might just go ahead and put some extra orders in now before they lower it down to 20% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52080 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:55:11 +0000 plantains 52080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Red: </p> <p>We already have Prime so it doesn't matter. I'm still on teh waitlist for Amazon Mom so we'll see.</p> <p>I'm kind of more interested in the Costco comments. Where does one get Costco coupons for diapers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-52066 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:38:32 +0000 MegWag 52066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done Amazon Prime, but we don't shop that much (online or otherwise). Amazon UK doesn't have Amazon Mom (or I guess it would be Amazon Mum)... it always surprises me when the UK version doesn't have a feature that the US does (like Baby Registry). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51991 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:06:30 +0000 Bluebonnet 51991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a Mom yet, so not a member of Amazon Moms, but we have Amazon Prime for 2 years now and it is well worth the $79 per year for free 2-day shipping. Its completely changed the way we shop. I order most presents (especially for kids) on Amazon - much better selection than stores, I'm able to read reviews, I'm not paying sales tax, and it gets to my house (in many cases) before I would have made it to the store (busy schedule, not always easy to shop during the week). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51927 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:14:19 +0000 BoogieBea 51927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really enjoyed my prime membership through amazon mom. Will definitely think about subscribing going forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51914 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:58:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 51914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've had prime since it first came out so i already paid for it anyway. can't live without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51910 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:54:56 +0000 yin 51910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love having Amazon Prime through Amazon Mom, and I have greatly enjoyed the perks of 2 day shipping. It made Christmas shopping especially convenient, and I can normally find great prices. I do not buy diapers that often (we use cloth) and would sometimes find better deals at diapers.com. My husband and I are considering paying for Prime when our free year expires because it has been well worth it with all the purchases we have made for our LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51870 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:18:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 51870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not too hip to the way Amazon treats it's warehouse employees. Once my Amazon mom ran out last year, I tried to buy goods elsewhere.</p> <p>Here's a link to the article: <a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Amazon+warehouse+employees+Pennsylvania+hospitalized+heat/5432663/story.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Amazon+warehouse+employees+Pennsylvania+hospitalized+heat/5432663/story.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51826 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:24:43 +0000 mamabolt 51826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Ditto. It was more than worth it to me to do almost all my Christmas shopping last minute from the comfort of my couch when I was still in first trimester misery. I am sure we will use it plenty for baby stuff moving forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51800 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:00:29 +0000 tequiero21 51800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well, i haven't joined yet and still not sure i want to (because i'm not really familiar with the prime program).... BUT, i do think it's different than netflix. at least they offer you a program where you can get discounted/free stuff/shipping. netflix, NOTHING changed but they want to increase prices? that's why blockbuster went down the tubes. they were offering less and less and charging more and more. </p> <p>people should be glad they got this service for free all this time. how do they expect amazon to earn money? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51795 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:52:22 +0000 chopsuey 51795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Got the email. Luckily I get prime through my sister. I'd probably pay the $79 though. I shop Amazon A LOT.</p> <p>And seriously. People need to get over their entitlement issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51787 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:46:33 +0000 SAHM0811 51787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a little ridiculous how mad those people on FB are. I mean, really? why not just be thankful they even benefited from the discount and convenience at all? I understand being disappointed, but some of the comments are a bit much... people get so entitled. I would surely pay for Prime when the time comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51778 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:35:26 +0000 Mrsbells 51778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasnt even aware of amazon mom... I will be using cloth diapers I dont know if amazon sells those as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-still-shop-amazon-with-their-new-changes#post-51773 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:44:44 +0000 mrbee 51773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon Prime is amazing.
