You can share the free shipping with two other people. You add them to your account just for free shipping, nothing else. So my two DDs get the free two day shipping on Prime . You may find two friends who want the free shipping and will pay a part of the yearly fee. I watch a lot of movies and series using Prime. If you want a premium channel like HBO, ShowTime, Acorn, and many others, Prime has them for a reduced price and everything is on one account. Prime is much more then free shipping.
