What? Less postage than Amazon, who will have negotiated the very
best discounts.

Amazon charge quite a lot for postage for non-Prime purchases. No
doubt this is very profitable for them.

Not always. The last thing we bought, would have been zero postage even
without Prime, for the slowest delivery option.

Prime is faster, there's also their free postage offering.

Yes, but if you don't order often the membership fee is fairly hefty.

The membership fee is worth it for the streaming TV/movie service.
