Amazon must hate me!

(Mods: Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum!)

 

I wanted 6 of the Bakugans that are on sale for $1.99 today. The limit was 3, but I wanted an even number, so I ordered 2. Then it kept bothering me that it was such a great deal and I could buy 1 more. So I went back and ordered 1.

 

Then I decided to check my online bank account to see how my checking account is doing.... it seriously looks something like this...

 

Amazon $1.99

Amazon $3.98

Amazon $2.00

Amazon $2.00

Amazon $4.00

Amazon $3.50

Amazon $5.00

 

and on and on like that for about 50 lines.

 

I have Prime... well, technically, my step dad has Prime and I am on his account. 2 day shipping is expensive, and even though I'm sure Amazon gets one heck of a deal, they still can't be making any money when I spend $1.99 on 1 Bakugan, they have to cover the cost of the product, pay fees to process my debit card, and ship the darn thing 2 day air.

 

I feel kind of guilty. Not guilty enough to stop, mind you, but still kind of guilty. I think I might single handedly run Amazon into the ground.

I think they love you... cuz you keep coming back and looking, and telling people like us about it, which increases sales. PLUS every 2$ at amazon is $2 less at walmart

If I haven't done it...it can't be done.

 

I'm sure they do get one heck of a deal. I'd have no problems with them throwing everything into one box and sending it...but they ship so fast when you have prime you don't even have time to combine the shipping. My prime expires December 21. I don't know what I will do then.

Hmm... good points! I feel the guilt diminishing! And this actually gives me an excuse to be on GD! "See, hubby, I'm not messing around on GD- I'm promoting Amazon there in exchange for good deals and super fast, free shipping!" I like it!

That's what I was thinking, too! I have several items, coming from the same location, all shipped the same day, arriving the same day, but they are all in different packages! It probably would save them quite a bit, but it would also slow them down a lot, too.

 

I've only had Prime for a few weeks, but I'm already wondering how I lived without it! My step-dad is paid up until next October. Hopefully he renews it next year or I might have to do something completely insane.... like pay for it myself!

Ha ha! I had a garbage bag full of boxes today on my porch. It looked like a full Santa bag. Amazon shipped all of those $2 dvd's and $5 cd's separately! I was wondering the same thing about the shipping, but I also bought some expensive items too. Isn't prime great??
