Sign me up: I know that one reader of this weblog will not approve (he’s not a fan of Bezos, long story), but I’ve already signed up for Amazon Prime – “All You Can Eat” Express Shipping. For $79, you get a year of “free” (how’s it free when I pay $80 for it?) 2-day shipments and overnight shipments for $4 with no minimum purchase required. Up to four members of a household can use it. A quick review of my Amazon.com purchase record convinced me that, for me at least, this is a no-brainer. Apparently, they’ll still be offering the super saver free shipping for purchases over $50. Also, before you purchase anything at Amazon, remember to come to the rexblog and click on the link to my Amazon.com affiliate store on the left-hand column of any page on this blog. I was saving up all my commissions for a plasma TV (I was up to, like, $22) but then I donated it to the Red Cross tsunami-relief fund, instead.
