How To: Search for ONLY Amazon Prime Items on Amazon.com

by John P.

I’m an Amazon Prime Member – meaning that I pay about $80 per year to get free 2nd day shipping on all my orders, no matter how big or small… as long as they are Amazon Prime eligible! As a result, I only want to search for items that are Amazon prime, but they don’t provide any easy method of doing this on Amazon.com! Grrrr!!!

So, here are two ways that I learned of which allow you to find just the Amazon prime items:

  • In the search box on Amazon, simply add “amazon.com” to the end of your search. ie – “camera amazon.com”.
  • Use the Firefox Greasemonkey extension with the Amazon Prime Search Improved Beta script which removes items that do not have the tag on the search results page when you are signed in as a Prime member. (Didn’t work for me for some reason.)

Hope it helps!

I Can’t Believe Amazon.com Has Groceries!

April 13, 2009

I have a love + hate relationship with Amazon. I mostly love them, even though occasionally they do really stupid things. Anyway, I got an e-mail from them reminding me that they actually have groceries for sale. I was like… “what?” In my mind I was imagining one of those old failed grocery services where [...]

Free Marvin Gaye MP3 From Amazon.com

February 13, 2009

Folks, just until the end of the day tomorrow (Valentine’s Day… you DID remember, didn’t you?) Amazon is giving away Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On for free. Yep. I tried it myself, and it worked. So feel free to follow this banner link to get it. But you really need to do it within [...]

Beware – Amazon.com Offers NO Price Protection!

November 30, 2008

Today my love affair with Amazon.com diminished by a sizable notch. In one fell swoop they moved from my preferred shopping site to being on par with everyone else. It happened when I learned that Amazon.com offers customers no price protection whatsoever. And that makes it not such a good deal after all. You see, [...]

Holiday Season Deal Watching Web Sites

November 24, 2008

Hey folks, this season there are going to be some serious deals to be had if you’ve got the spare cash to take advantage of them. But don’t run all over town hunting down those damned Black Friday deals! First of all, they never have the item you went for in stock, and secondly… just [...]

New Gift Ideas Section on the Blog

February 16, 2008

Today I added a new Gift Ideas section on the blog (just look up at the top) because I thought it might be helpful to share things that I’ve found which would make for birthday, anniversary, wedding and other gifts. I get a lot of catalogs, and I do a lot of shopping in general, [...]

Amazon Unbox Movie and Television Downloads

November 7, 2007

I’m a big, big fan of Amazon.com. They really won me over when I bought a $4,000 camcorder from them a while back, and I’m also a member of Amazon Prime which is an $80 annual fee for unlimited next day shipping. Amazon has now launched a new service they call Unbox which I suppose [...]

Abe’s of Maine High Pressure Post-Sale Tactics

April 12, 2007

I got a call today from Abe’s of Maine that was quite disappointing. But let me start with a little background info… At 1:30am on Tuesday morning (4/10/2007) I ordered a new $3,379 Canon XH A1 Prosumer Camcorder from Abes for two reasons. First, I’ve purchased from them in the past (about 2.5 years ago) [...]

One Man’s Improved Top 100 Movies List

April 2, 2007

Lists are funny things. Often they are interesting enough to catch your attention, but without any real meat in them they aren’t enough to hold it. Take for example, The American Film Institute’s Top 100 Movie list. They actually published it on the Web without so much as a single link to external reference material! [...]
