I needed to replace some parts on the wife's jeep for washer fluid tubing and one of the nozzle. Other parts places were more expensive and lord only knows when the part would show up.

40% less expensive on prime and the parts will be sitting on my porch tomorrow.

There you have it. You're welcome.

You forgot to add in the membership fee

Amazon Prime is $99 per year or $10.99 per month.

You city folks are always wanting your stuff right now. What's the hurry? Plan better!
Regular shipping is all you need.

FREE shipping is what I need.

I have to go on a Amazon Prime diet. Its too damned easy to buy shit online for me nowadays. I buy almost all of our household crap on Prime. Dogfood, paper products, cleaning supllies, coffee, you name it. Its probably saved us 25% at a minimum and neither of us ever has to set foot in a Walmart store. Ever.


I suspect Jeff Bezos might be targetted as the next antichrist. And they might be right.

I've got question for you regular Amazon users.. I've bought a couple things I need a "proof of purchase" for. Since they never include a receipt is there a way to recover that online?

You can go to your orders for your account and there is an option to print your invoice, which has the same info about your payment as a reciept. I'm not sure how long they keep a history of your orders.

I've placed around 50 orders in the last six months. While it's not as good as Netflix they offer enough quality tv to convince us to drop Netflix. They have an online library that also has audio book options. It's worth every penny of the membership. Now if they just offered DSL at a reasonable price

We're in the weaning process for cable. Down to just basic cable plus a $7 a month fox sports package that gets me cardinal games. Lopped a hunnerd a month of our cable/innerwebs/phone bill.

One of my Brothers bought him a firestick and put Kodi on it. Cancelled cable. Bought an antenna for locals. Saving $88 a month. I'm considering it.....

That's exactly what I did.

If you do it, don't tell Len.

I've got Prime and Netflix. Never had cable or satellite. Have an antenna for local and no one is disappointed with their options. The nice thing is there is a variety between the two so that if I don't find something I'm interested in on one the other usually has something.

As much as we use it, and there's tons of reasons to, it's more than covered by free shipping.

Yes you do. With texts on when it shipped and when it will be there.

I get jokes :)

Parts are installed, 40% less expensive, I never had to leave the house to go to the auto parts store who prolly wouldn't have it anyway, and they shipped overnight.
