I will cancel at the end of my current subscription, which is in July, just to do a temperature check on myself. Probably will join back promptly after that, who knows.. but will definitely take a break.

And if you order, say, 3 items thats not just one hit of $3.99 but three hits of $3.99 for next day. Per item charge.
Hmm, so there is a downside to online ordering. I just had an order with a few things arrive today. It was missing an item. It was a PAIN to track down the help page to actually talk to somebody. Once I finally got ahold of them, they said it was both a third-party seller and an add-on item (it was $10), so they couldn't replace it, only refund it. They could re-order it for me, but I'd have to buy at least $35 worth of stuff to qualify for them to ship it free. What the heck??
So to me, that's pretty crappy - I was waiting on this item (a food item), it didn't show up, and now they say I have to buy another $35 worth of stuff to get it. Lame. THEY screwed up and THEY should make it right. Stuff like this rarely happens with Amazon, but still...c'mon.
I've had prime for years and years, I order easily 5-10 items or more in a month for either myself, friends, or family. $20 more is nothing, and it's still got instant streaming which is comparable to netflix (at $96 a year JUST for netflix).

Comparable how? In quality maybe but certainly not selection. Not close.
The price does seem fair for the service but I will be canceling anyway. Prime offered fast shipping on things I almost never really needed quickly. It was simply a convenience/luxury. I can learn to plan a bit better and deal with longer delivery times.
As business, it is probably a good move by Amazon. I am sure most people will pay the increase without hesitation.

I am. I am also an impatient bastard. $8.50/month for free 2 day shipping? One item would cost $20 for 2 day shipping at most places.
this is why i only buy from amazon(not 3rd party sellers on amazon)
Even better, when I need something in a big hurry, I can upgrade to overnight (or sometimes local express) for $4. I ordered something on a Sunday evening recently, and had it in my hands less than 24 hours later. I love it!

Ditto.An extra $20 a year compered to how much everything else has increased in price over the years seems reasonable. I'll be keeping my Prime membership when it's time to renew.
They no longer have $4 overnight. It depends on the item. I was going to have a couple ball valves overnighted and they wanted $50+.
You are mistaken. You probably tried to overnight a non-prime item. It's always been this way.
