“How many orders do you place? How much stuff, total? How much stuff do you need to buy to rack up thousands in shipping costs? “
In our case one son has Amazon,gave another son the info——2nd son ships everything to first son’s house-——they live near each other. This could be done with other people.

You can have packages shipped anywhere. I’ve shipped gifts or to myself at another address if I’m out of town. They don’t care where you ship.
I use Amazon Prime because I don’t have to drive to town (it’s a ways) and search for the item or go to a dozen stores. There is a wider selection, and I can read the reviews. It’s one vendor and I know I won’t have any problems with returns. I generally get packages one to two days, and on the rare occasion when it’s longer, the let me know when I ordered. Never had a problem. I’ve even had packages shipped to Hawaii free, which saves a ton of money.
