Amazon Prime 


Amazon has just announced a new membership program called Amazon Prime. It costs $79 a year, and allows unlimited two day shipping for the membership period, plus $3.99 overnight shipping. This isn't worth it to me. As a general rule, when I order from Amazon, it's because I can wait on something - I usually just batch up orders above the magic free shipping amount and just wait a few extra days. For $79 a year, it would take a lot of must-have-immediately items to justify that for me. Way more than I currently buy.

If they allowed this for business customers, however - that might be a different story. Time to see if this is applicable to the company account. We frequently need stuff sooner rather than later.
