Why not eligible for Amazon Prime? Topic says it all. It's shipping from Amazon, sold by Amazon, so it should be covered. I understand from reading the policy that some large items will only qualify for free shipping, but not the 2-day express shipping. But even that isn't offered. I've queried customer service 3 times now, have yet to get a straight answer. All I get are cut & pastes of info from the Prime FAQ. Incidentally, I bought these same speakers two years ago, and at that time it *was* covered by Prime, with 2-day shipping. Seems the program isn't as good as it used to be.Note: Here is an example of a much bigger and heavier item that is eligible for Amazon Prime: http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-HT-S5100-Channel-Entertainment-System/dp/B0016KAU3U/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3FGXB05Q3LDJ4&colid=2P9F3V59HEO7Z Why not eligible for Amazon Prime?

Thanks for posting this thread, Atticus. I recently went through the same scenario with customer service on this very item. I just bought an industrial strength paper shredder (which was huge!) and it was covered under Prime. So your point is very valid in spite of what the other posters are saying. Mike L: I just ordered these speakers in spite of the extra shipping and free shipping was not offered even at the standard selection. Standard: $23.65, 2 day $44.82, 1-day $83.65. I agree Prime is usually awesome, but don't quite understand what makes one item 3.99 for overnight ship and another $83.65. Jeeeeeeeeeez. (btw, industrial paper shredder was larger dimension box and heavier than this item.) Thanks for posting this thread, Atticus.

I'm just reporting back. I truly did not expect to get any special treatment based on what I had read - and I am in the south, but not a southerner. It's just that I waited 6 months for the price to get back down. And whether this plays into it or not, I have recently spent quite a few dollars with Amazon.If anyone else was waiting to buy, now's the time. Who knows what they'll cost next week.BTW Chad, how do they sound?

That's a recent development - it's been in stock until recently. So, where is the right location to raise this? Apparently not customer service, who punted to the 'product staff', who never responded. I posted here out of frustration. I understand the economics. I also understand the stated Prime policy, which should have precedence. But I'm done with this - I bought some other speakers elsewhere. Amazon Prime is great -almost- all the time, and despite this incident, I still think it is an excellent bargain.

It was covered before. Prime policy says nothing about low-priced items not being covered. It's easy to find similar examples of bigger & heavier items that are covered. Here's another one:Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System

Contact customer service and get your money back, I didn't pay shipping charges and if I ordered these today I would not have to pay shipping charges so you should not have any trouble getting a refund. Hope you do get your money back.

One other thing: I bought a damn lawnmower from Amazon and paid $3.99 for overnight! It weighed close to 100 lbs...lol.

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130.It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

I do not believe I've seen any other product change prices so dramatically as these Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 200-Watt 2.1 Speakers. I bought them six days ago for $90, a week before that they were $107, and now they jumped back to $116. Over the past few months, I've seen them as high as $130+.
1782167
Heh. I'm pretty sure that wasn't an option back when I originally posted this. I think this changed because they've since raised the item price.

Hello, Depending on your shipping option, it is possible to receive them by Friday. However as this item is considered an add on item . Add-on Items with Amazon Prime orders of $25 or more, you'll also receive Prime shipping benefits, including Free Two-Day Shipping. Add-on Items are also eligible for Free Shipping in qualifying orders of $35 or more.

I'm pretty sure when Amazon says it takes 2 to 4 months to ship, it means that their out of stock.. I've had things on my wish list waiting for the price to drop, and that normally ship Prime in 2 days. When they sell the quantity they have, that's when you see them put the ships in 2 months up.. That's Just what I've noticed.. Hope this helps..

I am not sure... I am an Amazon Prime member so shipping was free! I highly recommend Amazon Prime if you are not a member-- in fact I think you can try it for free!!

It depends on your seller. If Amazon is selling it, then Prime may be available. You may have chosen a model sold by a third-party vendor.

I have prime and got t in 2 days. I think it depends on what time of day you pay and where you live. Amazon.com ships this item and they are really good about getting things out on time. I would be more worried about UPS dropping the ball than Amazon.

Unfortunately only Amazon fulfilled items qualify for Prime shipping. It appears that Amazon is currently out of stock of this item, however it is available from other sellers who offer free standard shipping. I hope this helps!

You are paying for convenience, Amazon will ship free in 2 days with Prime. Remember these are being sold by merchants, not Amazon, so they have tons of fees to cover from Amazon when selling here.

Mine died after TWO days! I have Prime so as soon as UPS logged that they had received it Amazon emailed that my account was being refunded. Best reason to become Prime eligible.

I ran into the same problem myself. I had it in my cart yesterday and was waiting to hear back from my brother for his input before buying this for my niece. I assumed I had plenty of timer with the Prime and even pay $3.99 for Next Day but it automatically filled in the Amazon Prime standard 2 day shipping. HOLD ON!! I just tried adding it to my cart again just now and the problem's fixed!!! You can even get it by tomorrow, Saturday for $4.99. Unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer and already bought a different gift for her. Hopefully there's still time for you. I should just refuse delivery on the other gifts I bought instead and order this one now.

Not sure but it is eligible for Prime shipping which gives guaranteed 1 or 2 day shipping. Seems like they must have a bunch in stock and ready to ship, no?

We are not an Amazon Prime Fulfillment member. Amazon Prime 2 or 1 shipping offers are only available with certain sellers on Amazon.

This depends on who you buy it from and the price. I would refer to the terms and conditions of Amazon Prime for more clarification.

It will only be free shipping if you are a Amazon prime member. Which means to have to pay for an amazon membership then if you order many items you qualify for free shipping on the items.

With Amazon Prime, it will ship with 2 day free express shipping on Monday so you can get it by Wednesday. That's if you are a Prime Member.

If you are an Amazon Prime member you can get free two day shipping. Or, if not, you can select from the different shipping times available at checkout.
