Wait, what?? I have a prime account I use for business and order a crap ton of books, equipment and supplies. I'm going to be doing some non prime research tomorrow. I don't like the sound of that.

I use most of prime's other services (streaming, books, music, internet storage etc.) so to me it's still very economical. Also, I'm incredibly impatient on shipping and the free 2 day just is more satisfying. I have seen plenty of cases where there are non prime stores on amazon selling products for lower prices, but Amazon is very good at alerting the buyer of this and it's easy to navigate to all available sellers. I can think of only a few times I've ordered a product from a non-prime store due to a lower price.

The bad part is the item I was looking at was not prime eligible. When I was signed in, it was listed at $41.95 with 4.95 shipping, then non-prime it was listed $44.00 with free shipping. I get different vendors and all that, but different sellers popped to the top depending on whether I was signed in or not and from my prime account I either couldn't find the free shipping one or it wasn't listed. Certainly it wasn't easy to find.
I use the video service and the music sine too, guess this just makes me more wary on the pricing scheme now.

We've had prime for about 4 years now, my wife uses it for almost all her text books and stuff for school. She ordered something about a week ago and it got delivered on a Sunday. And like you occasionally she will order something off prime because it's still cheaper with shipping.
I don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.

Basically everything I purchase is prime eligible. I just checked and everything I have ordered in the past 6 months all has the same price listed if I am logged in to my account or not. Maybe it's based on IP address, who knows. It might be that non-prime eligible items can have different prices.

I think Amazon heard we were talking trash about prime day and decided to put something on sale that we would want
