Default Amazon Prime?

Does anyone have this? I'm thinking of getting it for watching a few hunting shows. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

It never hurts to do some research.

Here's one source ... https://www.consumerreports.org/shop...-amazon-prime/

There isn't a whole lot available on the Prime Video in Canada. In the US they have a ton of shows and movies but it is a newer service up here.

Yeah I think Canada's amazon prime only offers streaming of shows that are produced by amazon.The US one is a different beast,but the quality has went down as well in the last few years.There is ways to get it in Canada but at 100 bucks us a year plus a VPN not sure it is worth it anymore.

I was wondering why I couldn't find Newberg on there, he's been promoting saying that a few seasons are now on Prime Video but they didn't show up when I searched.

I do like having Amazon prime for quickly getting stuff I don't really need, but the streaming service isn't great.

Newberg is who I was looking for. Hmm.

I accidentally bought prime and had it for a almost a year and didn't know I could use it to watch videos... better late than never

That being said, it's awesome for shipping!

https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...=Randy+Newberg here is a few videos I am sure if you look you can find them on the Internets somewhere or buy the dvds ........ Looks like it is amazon prime in the US only.
Have no idea what the quality of the shows are like but popped up in a search and my few minutes testing looks like atlest the vimeo channels works without a vpn https://vimeo.com/huntchanneltv another one https://www.carbontv.com/channels/hunting/

It has only been in Canada for 2 months or so I think.

I got Prime about a year ago for free on a promo and I see they just billed my credit card a hundred bucks to renew. I guess I probably saved a hundred bucks on shipping costs but it's difficult right now to see that I will save another hundred unless I get to buying stuff. I never knew there was video streaming until now!

With saving on shipping, and if you do subscribe and save (Diapers for example which we need) it adds up to the cost of prime pretty fast. Savings on the diapers alone makes it a good deal for us

I ordered a couple of items on Amazon and they were sold as "free delivery". The next thing I knew, Amazon had, without my knowledge, debited my account for $85 and enlisted me for Prime. I said whoa, not so fast. I didn't ask for this and asked that my account be credited for the $85. As I had not ordered any items using the prime plan, they did credit my account but it was an annoyance to get it corrected. I don't appreciate businesses "automatically" charging my account like this and have not ordered any items since.

Some people need to read or watch what they "click" on.

Love my membership. I have things arriving every other day. Unless it's am emergency I have no problem waiting a day or two for most household items. Mines easily paid for its self a few times over, especially for pet food and things around the house as well as car parts and gun/reloading equipment and supplies.

Havent even bothered with the video service.
