Please discuss. I need your input please. Subject: Amazon Prime Cost

Nobody wants to share what you are paying?

Go darkweb

but 100 accounts for 15$ from vladshop


its a better deal in dire economic times


go global

like the enemy

and throw the evil children in the fire

if you havent already setup systems

Don't support Amazon.

No matter the cost never buy a thing from Amazon. Anything less is uncivilized.

Unfortunately ...now some items are no obtainable in a local store. Seems like some places like Amazon have garnered some items totally ...holding the reins on all sales/shipping for said item. One of which I want/need. Been to a lot of local stores and specialty vitamin stores and no one has it except places like Amazon. Even Sprouts didn't have it.

Actually I am inquiring specifically about the TAX on the monthly payment for prime.

They advertise a monthly rate but no where could I find any reference to paying a tax. This is apparently a hidden surprise. I don't like money surprised unless its good and pleasing. This is irritating.

Customer service says everyone is paying a tax and it is different in every state.

Well, duh....but hey. They should be saying....

the monthly charge for prime is xxxx PLUS TAX.

It isn't there in the advertisement.

I paid $149.43 in one chunk on May 7, 2022 for the year. They went up without notifying me before they charged the card.

Last year, I paid $127.39 for the year.

I joined Prime in 2012 for $79. It used to be 2 day UPS delivery. Now, it can take up to a week...even with prime. (We live out in the sticks so I guess they think we are not worth it.)

If you order a lot, and Amazon is the only place you can get it, it's worth it. If not, don't do it.

I will most likely cancel Prime after this year, seeing how much everything is going up. Heck, there probably won't be anything to buy by that time!!

So lets looks at this:

Do you see anywhere on that page where it says anything about TAX?

I don't know...maybe my eyes are failing me.

Yearly: $139.

at $14.99 yearly = $179.88

at $16.23 yearly = $194.76

Difference between one a year max and at $16.23 = $55.76 give
or take a few little ole pennies of tax. You pay almost $200 a year by paying by month rather than paying for the full year up front.

Yeah...they are just making money on what the market will bear and okay I'm not arguing about that.

I am arguing the misleading information where they don't tell you that the monthly rate IS PLUS TAX....AND HOW MUCH THAT TAX IS.

I just want them to tell us the real price and not try to schmooze us with slick misleading advertisements. All those little ole pennies of tax add up to millions of dollars for them.

*RUBS HANDS*

no refunds

its not rocket science.

If Amazon shows $14.99 then that's what Amazon eventually gets... Fed Tax is $0.06 per dollar.. the same tax you pay on EVERYTHING else... some states charge a state income tax or internet transaction tax too...

they can't post 5 different prices..

Amazon doesn't tax you genius.

ffs

You don't know what the hell you are talking about you idiot liar.

I just got off the phone with their customer service guy about this. So STFU and go away.

Okay....so they don't have to post the tax table. There is no argument about that. You can't read can you..

The arguement is that that advertise one amount and charge your card a different amount.

This can all be correct with just a couple of little ole words...like

PLUS TAX

Using the KISS method is always best.

In case you don't know what the KISS method is:

KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID

its 126% tax

everything is taxed where have you been.

sorry to come off so brash but..

nothing is advertised with the taxed price because it varies by location.

Show me an advertisement that shows a taxed price with out saying taxes included....

fking troll


:comeonman:

11 year old trying to use the last $9.99 on Grammies Amazon gift card.

(has no clue wtf tax is or how it works)


sounds about right.

Op the Amount of tax depends on which state you live in

and its a service fee I'm not sure they charge tax but

if they do it will be the amount of your state sales tax

SNIPPET: Where the Buyer Is Located
Generally speaking, if an online retailer maintains a physical presence in a state that charges a sales tax on most purchases, then that online retailer must charge sales tax on any items that are sold to customers within the home state. However, if the online retailer is selling an item to a customer outside of its home state, then it is not required to collect sales tax from that customer.

You have enough time to bitch and moan to everyone here but not a few cents for tax?

op, the $14.99 is what you will pay altogether. The plus tax, is included in the 14.99.

at least that is how it works here in the UK.

You have that half right. But, the other half is that this is the USA and not UK.

Thanks anyway....but you do get the idea?

How about you legal eagles here. What do you have to say?

I'm sure if you call Amazon and throw a tantrum like you are on here, they'll give you the 2 bucks so you can get your extra small condoms.

The alternative is Walmart, but they have almost nothing in stock.

Three purchases per month costs more for shipping than the Prime monthly fee.

They give you a crummy streaming internet channel to watch too with 50-year-old movies for "free."

If I knew for sure who just gave me some red I would give you

some "back at you moron" too.

You are a coward hiding behind your anonymity

I don't know

Verizon phone might offer it for free

Look into it
