Amazon Prime Has Grown

When Amazon Prime started in 2005, the concept was simple. Amazon Prime was a shipping service. For $79 per year, Amazon Prime members received FREE 2-day shipping and discounted 1-day shipping. That was it!

Over the years, Amazon Prime members got more and more services as part of the Amazon Prime membership bundle.

And certainly since the last price increase four years ago, the Amazon Prime service has improved. Now the Amazon Prime membership bundle includes more features and better services than it did even just a few years ago.
