In 2009 I placed 2 order with Amazon. No need for Prime.

I don't order enough or watch enough to make it worth while.

I have noticed that for some reason the order will lay around for about a
week before they ship it out on the over $ 35 free shipping, then it gets to
the house in 3 or 4 days.



Priorities. They get the overnight out first, then the Prime 2 day, and
fill in the rest of the day with the free shipping orders. If it is a
busy day and they had to work OT to finish the priority orders, yours
will just sit.

Also acts as an incentive for borderline customers to decide to get Prime.
