Your life will never be the same and your UPS guy will have pet names for you (no joke.)
We have this one UPS driver... he's an older dude. We have on our account for UPS to leave the package, right? But since s/o and I work from home, he knows we are almost always here >_>

And so he waits patiently for us to answer. And when I do answer, I just get the creepiest vibes. Like dammit please just leave the package at the door and leave :oops:

nope that won't work, they closed that loophole last year
I wonder if it will work if I've previously had a free trial of Prime? Never paid for it, but back when I was in college, it was free for like 2 or 6 months or something.

Can I make a new amazon account, buy a gift sub with that, then use it on my old account?
no, if your current account ever had prime you can't do it. The first year they did this 2 years ago, that worked, but last year they closed the loophole totally

But if your kids are on your Prime, you can gift it to them and they can activate it when yours expires...maybe?

Bees are absolutely fascinating. Whenever I get a house in my life, I want enough land to grow crops and raise some bees. I'm sure it feels very rewarding to know you're helping them out. We would be completely screwed if the bees went extinct or something :(

Oh, well that's no good. Could you just ignore his knock until he leaves?

Or put a note on the porch that says "leave packages on the porch"... you can go further and add something like "if light is on" and put a colored bulb in the front porch light if you have one.

Haha I have honestly tried it before. But then he keeps knocking, so I get fearful that he won't leave the package lol.

Next time he delivers something go on and on about the new job you got, how you're never gonna be home and makin' all kinds of money.
Lol I could definitely try it :ahhh:

Amazon Prime even at 99 bucks is a hellva deal, when you consider all the things you get, videos, music, cloud storage, etc. I'll never give it up
I agree. The prices for household goods on Amazon is much better than the prices in stores around here, so even when you add on the Amazon Prime fee, I'm still saving money, especially combined with the gas to drive to the store and the time lost in doing so.
