Is it worth it? YES. Not just for the free shipping, but we have had superior service from Amazon over the years regarding ease of returns, and various other considerations.
Whatever I think of Jeff Bezo’s politics, he has a great company and we would not be better off without it for many reasons.
In addition, I still buy from ebay on occasion, but have had far more shipping and quality problems on ebay than ever on Amazon. Plus, with knees that barely work anymore, the quick shipping and quality on Amazon are lifesavers for me. We also live in a small town where there is very limited shopping for anything, and online orders make life much more livable.
AND, it is nice to not have to deal with bored and/or rude clerks.
Me too...best service anywhere for us
