I have an order on the way from Amazon. The item total is less that $3. My Prime membership got me this order shipped and due to be received next day. Turn around, less that 24 hours total.
I love the Prime program for this reason. The question is how can this be maintained? Amazon is taking a huge financial hit on this order.
I wonder what is the tipping point on loss leaders like this? Should I try not to abuse this in an effort to help Amazon keep pricing low and shipping fast with no minimum orders?
Or should I write this off in my head because Amazon overall is swimming in money. On top of the fact that I pay the annual ever increasing high price of the Prime membership?
