I love Amazon Prime. I have been using it for about 3 years. Before we signed up for it we were already ordering a lot from Amazon after checking prices online. I can send to others also for no cost. For instance I often buy things for my grandchildren or my mother and send these items using my prime free shipping. Of course it is not really "free" because you pay an annual fee but if you were ordering from Amazon without Prime you will save money throughout the year over the cost of your annual fee. Hope this helps.
