Free Shipping Offers

Another great perk offered by Amazon that could be dangerous for your pockets is free shipping. An annual Amazon Prime membership costs $119 or $9.9 per month, which includes free lightning-fast shipping. Some areas even have a two-hour delivery.

While there are benefits of speed deliveries, most people tend to buy more products than they usually do because they know they won’t pay shipping costs. Yet, they shouldn’t forget about their Amazon Prime membership… the membership costs, too.

So, you might think that the odds are in your favor, but, in reality, the only winner here is Amazon.
