If you just order stuff to be delivered I don't see the point of Prime.

Isn't it like buying your groceries online?


It's not quite the same. For my Amazon deliveries I don't really care
when they show up as long as it's sometime within the next week or two.
For my groceries I have to be at home when the delivery arrives. That's
a big difference. Luckily I know what I'm about to run out of several
days in advance, so can place an order several days in advance of
delivery, and get the most convenient delivery time.

I order a few days in advance for different reasons on Amazon and Ocado.
