Anything over $25 gets you free shipping though.

Sure it does. If you don't mind waiting a week. I'll take mine on release day.

[hardtosayx]

Also some people have Amazon Prime.

Why on Earth would you want to waste $13 dollars for one-day shipping?

Point is there is free shipping. If you're just going to pay extra to get it on release day you might as well just go to the store and get it right away.

It's been a long wait for me as well. Haven't seen any of "The Walking Dead: Season 2" yet. If there is a TV show I'm invested in I simply wait until it's released on DVD/Blu-ray before I watch a single episode. Do my best throughout the year to avoid any spoilers, so that I'm completely suprised at what unfolds from start to finish for a given season. Of course many popular TV shows are released on DVD/Blu-ray this time of year including a number of big titles receiving the Blu-ray treatment for the first time generally. Expensive time of year to be sure though I'm always prepared once August gets here. My Amazon.com pre-orders from August through October shown below. :-P

How much is Amazon Prime? $80? I love it when people pay $80 and then say they're getting free shipping. There's nothing free about it. You paid for it. I'd much rather just get this myself cheaper at Best Buy then to risk the post office having a football game with it on its way to my front door.

seriously. why are you arguing?

prime is 79 dollars. you don't just get fast, free shipping. you get more than that. not to mention, you don't waste GAS money getting to the store. what happens if somebody has to work or go to school on Tuesday morning? it's a limited edition that could sell out. there's so many factors and you think because you want to waste your time going to the store that everybody else has to do the same.

oh and by the way, EVERYTHING is delivered. somebody delivered to bestbuy as well. you never know how many times that box was thrown around. stop acting like if picking it up at a store is special.

Considering the money I've saved on shipping when I order 1 $5 BD or CD plus the time saved on 2-day vs "super saver", plus the Instant Streaming comparable to what Netflix charges $96 a year for, I sure as hell will call it "free shipping".

Dude, relax, it's just an internet message board. Don't take it so seriously. It's just a harmless discussion. Let's just have fun with it and move on.

If you buy from Amazon a lot then $79 is really that much in comparison to how much you'd spend on shipping each time you order, and you get release date delivery. Sometimes it's not worth going to the store if you only save a couple dollars.

I can't say I've ever had UPS, Fed-Ex or the post office have a "football game" with anything I've ordered.

It's like anything else. With any membership free one simply needs to determine if it's cost effective or not. In my case I purchase a ton of items from Amazon throughout the year which includes nearly all of my DVD/Blu-ray purchases. Love the release date delivery and lowest price guarantee on pre-orders. Without the Amazon Prime membership I can easily rack up $80 in shipping costs over a 6 month period or less. As such, the Amazon Prime membership fee is well worth the price of admission for me as my shipping costs are basically eliminated for half the year or more on items eligible for Amazon Prime shipping. I find added benefit of course in the Amazon Prime next day shipping option which is only $3.99 per item as from time to time I do find myself in a pinch needing something shipped next day. The Amazon Prime membership is also great for those small purchases where in many cases the cost of shipping might exceed the cost of the actual item. I also like the fact that with the free 2-day shipping option (i.e. no additional costs aside from the yearly membership fee) I no longer have to combine orders when possible to save on shipping costs. Very convenient. Should note as well that I'll routinely order items from Amazon using the 2-day shipping option and end up getting them next day. Gotta love that. Lately I've also been getting my pre-orders a day early when Amazon ships via FedEx Smartpost. FedEx Smartpost packages are delivered to your local post office. I find they always arrive at my post office the morning prior to my scheduled delivery date. As such, I'll often just stop by my local post office the day before rather than waiting for them to delivery the item to me the following day.

You're lucky! I find that FedEx Smartpost is one of the slooooooowest shipping methods available. I cringe when I find that something has been shipped via that method!

Yeah...I can usually count on delivery 3-4 days after it arrives in Denver, which is only 4 hrs away from me.

Amazon prime membership comes out to ~$6.50 a month. That's how much you'd pay for shipping on two separate movies. If you buy more than two movies a month (or any other product), it's well worth it.

Like others have said.... $6.50 a month and you're saving time/gas money/ and tax in some cases.

Some people refuse to see the bigger picture but that's all well and good. I'll save money using my amazon prime and they can waste it foolishly for no reason. It is THIER money after all.... Why should we care?
