    To those of you with amazon prime, quick question

    Final Fantasy IX
    $14.46 - Quantity: 1 - Usually ships in 2 to 5 weeks - Amazon Prime: Two-Day Shipping is free
    Am I going to get this in two days? or are they going to ship in 2-5 weeks and then I get it 2 days from when they ship it?

    Is it being sold by an Amazon Marketplace Merchant (aka not Amazon itself)?

    If so, Prime won't do shit for you and it's probably gonna be mailed within 2 to 5 weeks.

    Not sure whose selling it since I'm on the payment screen now just waiting on confirmation, but to things that aren't eligible w/ prime, prime isn't even an option.

    It's an option here, but the way that thing is worded confuses me.

    Choose your Prime Logo shipping speed:
    FREE Standard Shipping (3-5 business days)
    FREE Two-Day Shipping (2 business days)
    $3.99/item One-Day Shipping (1 business day)
    That portion won't even be there if not compatible, but yea just want to double check because of
    Estimated delivery date for this item: August 25, 2010 - September 9, 2010

    Yes, they will ship it in 2-5 weeks and when they do ship it, you'll receive it in 2 business days.

    I like Amazon Prime a lot because it's fast and hassle free. Considering how much stuff I buy from amazon, $75 a year for 2day shipping on all items is a good deal. If you make more than 20 separate purchases a year, you should really give it a shot.

    Amazon over-estimates the fuck out of their processing time, I would expect it much sooner than 2 weeks, but yeah prime gives you two business days from the ship date, not the order date.

    kk thanks. I went w/ non prime standard shipping then. It was 3 dollars cheaper w/ 3 dollar 90 cent shipping. So I'll just go with that.

    I guess I am confused because Prime shipping was free, why pay anything at all? Go with the free prime shipping?

    Probably ordered from a different seller other than Amazon....my only guess.

    There's an one-month free trial of Amazon Prime. At the end of the trial you have the choice of canceling, which will cost you nothing and all items that you bought during that month will have free 2day shipping.

    yeah I assume he went with the faster nonprime seller even if its 90 cents more, rather than wait 3-5 weeks

    Just making sure everyone is aware that prime is free for a year for students.

    I love buying games there since you get a free one every couple of games you buy with all the $10-$20 pre-order bonuses they throw at you.

    Amazon prime is great. Even greater is being on Amazon's Vine program, but you have to be awesome for that (you get free stuff; only catch is you have to write a review for everything you get, which I happily do.)

    Anyway, watch out for how kick-ass Amazon prime is. It's incredibly easy to rack up thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
