| > Stuck at work late, need kitty litter but no local groceries are open by the time you leave? Prime now. > Need kitty litter but don't have a car and don't want to hulk 80 lbs of litter home? Prime now. > Need a random ass torx screw driver and don't want to drive to home depot across town? Prime now. > Forgot the ground beef but don't have time to get it because the oven is already on, cooking for the company coming over? Prime now. > At a beer festival and sick of standing but didn't bring your camping chairs because you don't have any? Prime now. > Standing in line outside in the rain but didn't bring an umbrella? Prime now. > Ran out of Christmas cards? Prime now. > Nieces birthday and no time to go shopping? Prime now. As somebody who lives in the city without a car and nowhere near a home depot or a grocery store that is open past 10pm, prime now has been an absolute godsend. The fact that I can order a ton of items that I just _cant_ find locally no matter how hard I look, but also don't want to wait for shipping from Amazon/Ebay/whatnot is an absolute godsend. I don't think you need to cook up an emergency to have a good reason to use Prime Now. I have tons of 'micro emergencies' every month where I'd gladly tip my driver a bit to bring my items within a few hours. |
Yep, your examples are a lot less "emergencies", the previous examples were all connected to unpleasant events, but - with all due respect - yours are all connected to the same "base issue", forgetting to procure in time (or in advance) whatever you need.
A very handy solution, in those cases.
