What is Amazon Prime and why it's beneficial

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

What Amazon Prime offers in 2025:

1. Free shipping across the US in 1-2 days

Prime-marked items arrive at our warehouse in Delaware very quickly, usually the next day. This also speeds up your delivery time: the faster the item reaches us, the faster it will be sent to you.

2. Discounts that regular buyers can't access
Prime users get early access to Lightning Deals, Prime Day, and other closed sales. Shampoos for $2, sneakers for $15, electronics discounts worth $200 – these are all real examples.

3. Nice bonuses and gifts
Amazon often gives out free samples of cosmetics, snacks, and even boxes of products for newborns. All of this is free or with compensation in the form of points.

4. Online services as a gift
The subscription includes:

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

How to subscribe to Amazon Prime

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

Who should pay for an Amazon Prime subscription?

If you order from Amazon at least a couple of times a month – a Prime subscription pays for itself from the very first month. Free and fast shipping, access to the best discounts, priority order processing – all of this is available to program participants.
Our warehouse in Delaware accepts Prime packages the day after the order is placed. And if you're short on time – with Pochtoy.com you can receive your purchase in Russia in just 5–10 days. Without a subscription or through regular delivery, you may have to 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 that Prime has over 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. Make sure to try it during Prime Day – this is a chance to get maximum bonuses without spending anything.

Tip from Pochtoy.com

Sign up for a Prime subscription during Amazon Prime Day – this is the biggest sale of the year (in July). Discounts up to 70% on everything. This is the best time to try the subscription and shop with maximum benefit.

Important: Amazon does not ship packages directly to Russia or Belarus, but with Pochtoy.com you can easily buy any items and receive them in a short time.

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