[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 277120, member: 12257"] My situation: I always *WANT* something faster, but rarely *NEED* it faster. With that in mind, I often enjoy Amazon's prices and feel the savings is worth the slightly slower free shipping. In the instance that *NEED* is driving me to purchase immediately, I have Best Buy match the Amazon cost and pay the tax, which is often less than expedited shipping would cost anyway. The last time I did that, tax came out to about $19.00, and it was the only time I did so last year... savings of $60.00 over Amazon Prime last year, and if it holds true, $80 in savings vs. Amazon Prime this year. PLUS, places like Cameta, etc. offer me free shipping too, so ba-da-BING! I win with just about every purchase! (BTW, SPOILER ALERT: I don't use Amazon Prime :) ) [/QUOTE]
