19. It's one of the best subscriptions I have at $139 annual/$11.58 Monthly.

Free shipping and Amazon Prime streaming. Netflix is $10.78 M/ $126.36 Annually w/o retail.

At $139 per year that's $11.58 per month. In shipping charges alone, I would pay more that from other retailers. I ordered an item from a non-Amazon retailer the other day and shipping charges were $12.76. Not only that, if I returned the item, I'll have to pay shipping charges. Order several items from LLBean, and you only get free shipping if your order is over a certain level. Returned one of their items and had to pay shipping. Amazon returns are easy and NO CHARGE!

I'm sure there are people who have issues with Amazon for one reason or another, and if so, so be it. But I love Amazon and have been a customer for close to 20 years.

I do support the unions and have no problem with them organizing against Amazon. All employees should be paid a fair salary, with reasonable benefits and working conditions.
