I'm seriously curious why you don't want prime. Do you live in an area where it doesn't benefit you or something? If you are really ordering more than a few items a year for them, it makes total financial sense to get it for the shipping alone.

The movies, photo storage, tv shows, music etc. are just icing on the cake.

What's so special about "saying no"? I have my principles, and companies better respect them.

I got several downvotes for my comment, but in the end more upvotes.

Btw. shipping is free for my check outs too. Maybe I just don't want and need their streaming services? Maybe I already use something that fits my needs? Maybe I live in an area where they tested Prime and therefor made the delivery time worse (from 2 days to 4-5 days)?

Ask yourself: would you like to pay a membership fee for Walmart/etc and for shopping centers? Nevertheless, Amazon.com is first and foremost an digital shopping center. It's my right as a customer to say "no thanks", and Amazon should acknowledge my decision.
