What is Amazon Prime and why it's worth it

Amazon – the largest online store in the world. It has everything: from coffee and clothing to electronics and gadgets. But the main advantage for frequent shoppers is the Amazon Prime subscription.

What Amazon Prime offers in 2025:

1. Free 1-2 day shipping within the US

Items marked Prime arrive at our Delaware warehouse very quickly, usually the next day. This speeds up your delivery time too: the faster the item reaches us, the faster it heads your way.

2. Discounts ordinary shoppers can't reach
Prime users get early access to Lightning Deals, Prime Day, and other exclusive sales. Shampoos for $2, sneakers for $15, $200 off electronics – these are all real examples.

3. Nice bonuses and gifts
Amazon often sends free samples of cosmetics, snacks, and even boxes of baby products. All free or compensated with points.

4. Online services included
The subscription includes:

Prime Video – movies and series in English (with subtitles)
Prime Music – ad-free music
Prime Reading – hundreds of books and magazines
Prime Gaming – in-game bonuses and a free Twitch channel subscription

If you paid for the subscription and didn't use it – Amazon will refund the money for the unused days.

Who should pay for an Amazon Prime subscription?

If you order something on Amazon at least a couple of times a month, the Prime subscription pays off within the first month. Free and fast shipping, access to the best discounts, priority order processing – program members get it all.
Our Delaware warehouse receives Prime packages as early as the next day after the order is placed. And if time is tight – with Pochtoy.com you receive your purchase in Russia in just 5–10 days. Without a subscription or via standard shipping, you could wait a month or longer.
In the US, Amazon is almost synonymous with online shopping. Millions of Americans place orders 2-3 times a week. It's no surprise Prime has more than 70 million subscribers. In Russia, few people know about this service, and that's a shame – it really does save money and time.
Especially convenient: the first month is free. Be sure to try it during Prime Day – that's your chance to get maximum bonuses at no cost.

Tip from Pochtoy.com

Sign up for a Prime subscription during Amazon Prime Day – it's the biggest sale of the year (in July). Discounts of up to 70% on everything. It's the best moment to try the subscription and order with maximum benefit.

Important: Amazon doesn't ship packages directly to Russia or Belarus, but with Pochtoy.com you can easily buy any products and receive them quickly.

With Pochtoy.com and Amazon Prime smart shopping becomes even easier.
